South Korean government has targeted the deployment of 10,000 fast chargers by 2022. Similarly, India has plans to install 2,700 charging stations by 2023 in cities with more than 4 million residents. As flow batteries are used for several applications in electric charging stations, hence growing investments as such will drive the market growth in the forecast period 2021-2026.
Flow Battery Market Segment Analysis – By Industry
All-Vanadium flow batteries are expected to witness a CAGR of 35.3% as they are considered as front runner technology for meeting the growing demand in the energy storage sector. The demand for these batteries is high, especially in the utility, off-grid, and mini-grid markets. Several global companies, such as Vionx Energy, redT, Rongke Power are involved in the rapid commercialization of this technology. Vanadium is a more significant contributor to the cost of vanadium redox flow batteries than key minerals in comparative battery technologies. Vanadium flow batteries can be quite large and best suited to industrial and utility-scale applications. Also, the vanadium flow battery outcompetes Li-ion and any other solid-state batteries for utility-scale applications. In November 2019, flow battery struggled as Lithium-ion battery marched on by racing ahead of All Vanadium, Zinc-Bromide and other flow batteries on scale and cost-competitiveness, whereas, flow batteries are seen as ideal for large-scale, long-duration storage only. Preference for flow batteries is less when compared to Li-ion batteries. As the demand for renewable energy continues to grow, the demand for solutions that can help control the flow of the energy generated is also increasing. Flow batteries using vanadium as the primary element have a lifespan of 20 years with up to 20,000 cycles and no capacity loss. Therefore, energy storage projects implementing flow batteries are expected to boost the market during the forecast period.

Hence these factors drive the market growth in the forecast period 2021-2026.
Flow Battery Market Drivers
Rise in production of electric vehicles
The electric car market has witnessed rapid evolution with the ongoing developments in automotive sector and favorable government policies and support in terms of subsidies and grants, tax rebates. Flow batteries have a unique capability for rapid and safe recharge of electric vehicles by electrochemical cell exchange, hence rise in production of electric vehicles is analyzed to drive the market. In 2019, Ford has invested $1.45 billion in Detroit plants in U.S., to make electric vehicles. In 2019, Toyota announced plans to invest $749 million in expanding the U.S. manufacturing facilities to increase the production of the RAV4 hybrid and Lexus ES 300h hybrid vehicles. In 2020, General Motors has looked to invest more than $20 billion in its next generation of all-electric and autonomous vehicles through 2025. Moreover governments of several countries have been investing heavily for the development of electric vehicles. In 2019 German government has committed to invest more than $3 billion to expand electric car market growth in the region. In 2019, Indian government has also committed to invest more than $4.5 billion for in incentives to companies setting up advanced battery manufacturing facilities as it seeks to promote the use of electric vehicles. Hence these investments and developments are analyzed to be the key drivers for the growth of the electric vehicle market and thereby the flow battery market during the forecast period 2021-2026.
Increasing investment in renewable energy
