Methodology

How the estimates were built: data sources, modelling approach and validation steps.

Research approach

A market size is a claim about the world, and a claim is only as good as the route to it. Every study is built upward from units and prices — what is actually produced, sold or performed, at what it actually changes hands for — rather than from a headline figure divided downwards. Disclosed company revenue is then used to check that build, not to produce it.

Market size estimation, this report

Market size is built by combining a bottom-up estimate of installed storage capacity (battery packs shipped and paired with solar generation across utility, commercial and industrial, and residential installations) with a top-down view of utility and developer capital budgets allocated to storage procurement. Installed-capacity data is converted to revenue using chemistry-specific pack pricing, then checked against reported procurement spend from utility integrated resource plans and corporate capital expenditure disclosures. Where the two tracks diverge, capacity-based figures are weighted more heavily for utility-scale and off-grid segments, where unit economics are better documented, while expenditure-based figures anchor the residential and commercial segments, where individual installation data is sparser.

The four stages

The same sequence runs behind every published study, whatever the industry. The order matters as much as the steps: the segment axes are fixed before any number is collected, so the model is never reshaped to fit whatever data happens to turn up.

What the build rests on, and what checks it

The two are not interchangeable. The left column produces the number; the right column tests it. When the check disagrees with the build, the answer is to find which bottom-up assumption is wrong — a unit count, a price, a take-up rate — not to split the difference between them.

The bottom-up build rests on
  • Volume actually transacted — units produced, installed, dispensed or procedures performed, counted at the level each is genuinely recorded
  • Realised pricing by tier and channel, rather than one blended average applied across the whole market
  • Take-up and frequency: how much of the addressable base buys, and how often it repeats
The build is checked against
  • Disclosed revenue of the companies serving the market, where filings separate it far enough to be usable
  • Buyer-side spending totals — capital budgets, procurement lines, or the output of the end market the product is bought against
  • Trade and customs flows, where the product crosses borders in a separately recorded form

Data sources

Published data establishes what happened. Only the people transacting in a market can say why, and what is about to change — so the two are collected separately and weighted differently.

Primary — who is interviewed
  • Commercial and product leadership at the companies that supply the market
  • Procurement and specification leads at the organisations that buy it
  • Distributors, integrators and channel partners, where the market is served indirectly
  • Regulatory and standards specialists, where approval governs what can be sold at all
Secondary — what is read
  • Company filings, annual reports and investor disclosure
  • Government statistics, customs records and regulatory registers
  • Trade association output and standards-body publications
  • Technical and peer-reviewed literature, where the market rests on a clinical or engineering claim
Primary research design, this report

Primary input comes from interviews with procurement and engineering staff at utilities and independent power producers, battery pack and system integrators, solar EPC contractors, and regulatory staff involved in interconnection approval. Commercial and industrial energy managers are included for their role in specifying storage alongside on-site solar. Geographic sampling weights Asia Pacific and North America, the two regions carrying the largest share of installed capacity, with additional coverage in Europe for policy and grid-code perspective and in the Middle East for utility-scale project planning. Findings are checked against public company disclosures, utility filings, and government energy-storage deployment statistics before being folded into the sizing model.

Desk research runs across proprietary research databases including Factiva, OneSource and Hoovers alongside the public sources above. Modelling and statistical validation are run in SAS and SPSS.

Triangulation and validation

No figure enters a report on the strength of one source. Where the two sizing routes disagree the difference is not averaged away — the assumption causing it is isolated, tested against a third independent measure, and either corrected or carried forward as a stated limitation. Historical years are back-tested against the growth actually recorded before any forecast is allowed to run forward from them.
