In an era of escalating energy costs and climate urgency, the residential energy storage market is charging ahead, empowering homeowners with self-sufficient, eco-friendly power systems. A new report from Fact.MR forecasts the global market, valued at US$ 18.5 billion in 2025, to expand dramatically to US$ 68.0 billion by 2035, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.9%. This nearly 3.7-fold growth—adding a staggering US$ 49.5 billion—highlights the sector’s pivotal role in fostering energy independence and integrating renewables into everyday living.
As households worldwide embrace lithium-ion batteries and smart inverters, residential storage is transforming homes into resilient microgrids. “Residential energy storage isn’t just about backup power—it’s a gateway to cost savings, sustainability, and energy autonomy,” said Dr. Aria Singh, Lead Energy Analyst at Fact.MR. “With governments worldwide incentivizing clean tech and innovations slashing costs by 40-60%, this market is poised to redefine how families power their futures.”
Key Drivers: Energy Independence, Policy Support, and Tech Advancements
The market’s momentum stems from intertwined forces. At the forefront is the quest for distributed power solutions, enabling homeowners to cut electricity bills by 40-60% through solar-integrated storage. Government initiatives, from tax credits in the U.S. to China’s National Energy Administration programs, are accelerating adoption, with many nations targeting efficiency mandates by 2030. Technological breakthroughs in lithium-ion batteries—boasting high energy density and durability—alongside smart inverters, are making systems more efficient and user-friendly.
Trends underscore this surge: Asia-Pacific’s residential boom, hybrid battery integrations for optimized management, and grid-edge innovations for seamless utility interaction. Yet, evolving grid infrastructure could temper some demand, though it ultimately bolsters hybrid models.
