The hybrid energy storage market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $25.27 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing electric vehicle penetration, expansion of smart grids, demand for reliable backup power, cost reduction in hybrid storage technologies, increasing investments in industrial and commercial applications. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of fast-response and high-capacity storage, enhanced grid stability and load balancing, hybrid energy storage for renewable energy applications, lifecycle optimization and extended system longevity, cost reduction and energy efficiency improvements.

The surge in renewable energy is expected to propel the growth of the hybrid energy storage market going forward. Renewable energy refers to energy derived from naturally replenishing sources such as sunlight, wind, water, and geothermal heat that are continually restored. Renewable energy is rising due to strong government policies and financial incentives aimed at accelerating the transition away from fossil fuels. Hybrid energy storage supports renewable energy expansion by stabilizing intermittent generation from sources such as solar and wind, ensuring reliable grid integration, efficient energy balancing, and greater adoption of clean power. For instance, in March 2024, according to Umweltbundesamt (UBA), a Germany-based government environmental authority, Germany generated 272.4 terawatt hours (TWh) of renewable electricity in 2023, up from 254.6 TWh in 2022, representing about 7% year-on-year growth. Therefore, the surge in renewable energy is driving the growth of the hybrid energy storage market.

Key companies operating in the hybrid energy storage market are focusing on incorporating technological advancements such as bidirectional inverter technology to enhance system efficiency, energy flexibility, and operational optimization. Bidirectional inverters are advanced power-electronic devices that enable two-way conversion of electrical energy between alternating current and direct current, allowing smooth power exchange between grids, batteries, and generation sources while ensuring stable and intelligent energy management in hybrid systems. For instance, in February 2024, Caterpillar Inc., a US-based provider of energy and industrial power solutions, launched the Cat Hybrid Energy Storage Solution, a system integrating bidirectional power inverters, microgrid master controllers, and modular battery storage to optimize job-site power use in oil and gas operations. The solution features real-time autonomous dispatch, rapid transient response, and seamless genset and grid integration, enabling fuel cost savings and reductions in emissions while improving reliability in harsh environments.

In September 2024, Octopus Energy Generation, a UK-based provider of renewable energy project development and asset management services, acquired Exagen Group Ltd for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, Octopus gains access to Exagen’s 2.4 GW+ portfolio of hybrid solar and battery storage projects across England, thereby enhancing its hybrid energy storage capabilities while improving its operational scale, development pipeline, and contribution to the UK’s clean energy transition. Exagen Group Ltd, a UK-based provider of utility-scale solar and battery storage solutions, is known for its expertise in developing co-located solar and energy storage projects designed to balance the grid and optimize renewable energy generation.

Hybrid energy storage refers to a system that integrates two or more different types of energy storage technologies to enhance performance and efficiency. It generally combines fast-response systems such as supercapacitors or flywheels with high-capacity storage such as batteries to balance energy supply, improve reliability, and extend system lifespan. These systems are primarily used in renewable energy integration, electric vehicles, and grid stabilization to maintain a stable and efficient power supply.

The key configurations of hybrid energy storage are grid-connected and standalone. Grid-connected refers to an electrical system or device that is directly linked to the main power grid, enabling it to both draw electricity from and supply electricity to the grid. Key battery types include lithium-ion, lead-acid, and nickel-based. Various technologies include solid-state batteries, thermal energy storage, pumped hydro storage, flywheels, supercapacitors, ultracapacitors, and others, and they are applied across residential, commercial, industrial, automotive, utility, and other sectors.Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the hybrid energy storage market in 2025.
