The global portable battery energy storage power market is expected to exceed $14 billion in 2026
In 2021, the overall global shipment of lithium-ion batteries for energy storage will be 66.3GWh. By 2030, the demand for lithium-ion batteries in the global energy storage field will be close to 1TWh.
The compound growth rate of lithium-ion batteries for energy storage in the next ten years will be higher than that of EV power batteries and small batteries.
As one of the segments of the energy storage field, portable energy storage power sources are developing rapidly
Portable energy storage power supply, also known as “outdoor power supply“, is a small energy storage system that uses a built-in high energy density lithium-ion battery to provide stable AC and DC output.
Outdoor power supply is mainly composed of batteries, energy storage converters, circuit boards and Electronic components, shells, etc.
Various advantages
It has the advantages of large capacity, high power, small size, light weight, safe and portable, etc., and can usually be charged by solar energy, and can match the mainstream electronic equipment in the market.
It is widely used in outdoor travel, outdoor operations, emergency disaster relief, medical rescue, etc.
At present, the main consumer markets for portable energy storage power are the United States (outdoor travel) and Japan (emergency disaster relief).
Market expanding
Although China’s portable energy storage power consumption market is currently in its infancy, with the prosperity of outdoor camping and other activities, the market is gradually expanding, and the development potential is huge.
At present, companies entering the portable energy storage power industry mainly include mobile power supply companies, digital accessories companies, battery cell manufacturing companies, and companies that previously did household energy storage or power system energy storage integration.
With the gradual expansion of off-grid electricity demand for domestic outdoor activities and household emergency power supplies, outdoor power supplies have also begun to increase in the Chinese domestic market.
Some emergency power supplies are equipped with lithium iron phosphate batteries of CATL, and some outdoor power supply products are equipped with silent variable frequency generators, focusing on the needs of different levels of low-power and high-power portable power supply markets.
Fierce competition starts
However, competition has begun to become fierce, and companies have not paid enough attention to the key technology of portable energy storage power.
The research and development of portable battery energy storage equipment needs to comprehensively consider industrial design, thermal management, power management, lithium battery modules and other aspects.
It is necessary to have certain core technologies, but at present, there are still problems such as lack of standards and uneven quality of portable energy storage power supply products.
Portable energy storage power supply has a wide range of application scenarios in outdoor activities, emergency, vehicle charging, backup power supply and other fields, and it is gradually replacing traditional small fuel mobile generators (such as diesel generators).
