What is the future trend of portable energy storage?
The current demand for portable energy storage mainly comes from three aspects: First, the global outdoor activity population is increasing, and the number of global outdoor activity households will be about 150 million in 2021; The second is the power rationing measures in various countries, especially South Africa, which has had a serious power supply crisis since 2022, and the United States, Japan and other parts of the country have also had different degrees of power rationing policies; Third, the frequency of natural disasters such as earthquakes is not decreasing, often accompanied by power outages, power shortages and other emergencies, and bring the need for rescue and disaster relief; Various factors to promote the rapid development of portable energy storage industry, the future global portable energy storage shipments will rise with the growth of demand. According to relevant statistics, it is expected that in 2026 shipments will reach 1355 (outdoor) + 1155 (emergency) + 600 (other) = 31.1 million units, the industry scale is expected to reach 88.2 billion yuan, the shipment is 6.4 times that of 2021, and the industry scale is 9.6 times that of 2021. Portable energy storage market prospects will be far beyond your imagination!
Portable energy storage in addition to outdoor short-distance travel, power outage emergency use, the future or will be used for emergency preparedness scenarios, can solve the problem of disaster power shortage, power failure and emergency rescue, because outdoor energy storage is not limited to the use of locations, and equipped with AC, DC, car charger, Type-c, USB and other interfaces, in addition to daily electronic equipment charging, There is also 220V power output, taking Qiao Wei 300Wh/220V portable energy storage as an example, in addition to meeting the notebook, tablet, mobile phone and other electronic equipment charging, can also be used for outdoor camping/live/photography, ventilators, electric drills, etc., with solar panels, usually store electricity for power failure, in addition, portable energy storage or will respond to off-grid electricity after the disaster. To ensure the basic electricity demand, the future large capacity energy storage equipment or will have a broad market prospects. Advantages of lithium iron phosphate battery: It has the advantages of high operating voltage, high energy density, long cycle life and good safety performance. The electrochemical performance of the cathode material is stable, and it will not burn and explode even under special conditions such as short circuit, overcharge, extrusion, and needling. It has become the imperial battery of Tesla, BYD, Mercedes-Benz and other automobile brands.
Portable energy storage product is a small energy storage system that uses high energy density lithium-ion batteries to provide stable current output. Portable energy storage as a small power output power system, its capacity is usually in the 0.3-3kWh range, the conventional charging bank on the market with electricity is generally less than 0.4kWh, while the mainstream fuel generator with electricity are 3kWh, the emergence of portable energy storage just to fill the gap in the market of charging bank and fuel generator. In addition, benefiting from the growth of lithium battery energy density brought about by the vigorous development of the electric vehicle industry, the carrying capacity of portable energy storage of the same volume has broken through the original bottleneck in recent years, making the use of portable energy storage in outdoor applications, emergency hedging and other scenarios more convenient and flexible. The cost of lithium batteries continues to decline under the joint push of large-scale commercial use and technological progress, and portable energy storage is accepted by more downstream users in this context. According to BNEF data, the weighted average price of lithium battery packs has dropped from $606 /kWh in 2014 to $132 /kWh in 2021. The unit price fell by 80.7%, and the weighted average unit cost of lithium batteries continued to decline, mainly benefiting from the improvement of battery integrated system technology and the development of production processes in the direction of automation. The significant decline in the cost of lithium-ion batteries also provides a solid foundation for large-scale commercial applications of lithium batteries.
