Apr 10, 2025 · The global energy storage container market is experiencing robust growth, driven by the increasing demand for reliable and efficient energy solutions across diverse sectors.
Determinedly, the region has set the targets of 23 per cent renewable energy share in Total Primary Energy Supply (TPES), and 35 per cent share of renewable energy in ASEAN installed power capacity by 2025. This means that energy storage is required. What Is The Status Quo?
ASEAN Member States (AMS) need to step up their game on energy storage development. As the 6th ASEAN Energy Outlook foretells, ASEAN’s Total Final Energy Consumption (TFEC) projects to increase by 38 percent by 2025 and 146 percent by 2040, from 375 Mtoe in 2017 to 922 million or mega tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe) in 2040.
According to the ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) Policy Brief: Enabling Policies for Promoting Battery Energy Storage in ASEAN, only a few AMS have related policies. For instance, Thailand’s Ministry of Energy presented its ‘Energy 4.0’ strategy by integrating disruptive energy technologies such as energy storage systems.
As renewable energy sources will play a more prominent role in the region’s sustainable development, the integration of energy storage systems in Southeast Asia is imminent. Energy storage seems to be facilitating the transition towards clean and sustainable energy, particularly for islands and rural areas within the region.
Thailand installed two sets of KSTAR 5kW+10kWh energy storage systems (BluE-5000D) in December 2020. The storage already provides a clean and stable night-time power supply at the Chumpoll Temple in Ayutthaya Province, Thailand.

The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving home solar storage and inverter performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 40% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,200/kW to $650/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow home systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing homeowner savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for solar storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $600/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with residential projects typically achieving payback in 5-8 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (5-10kWh) starting at $8,000 and premium systems (15-20kWh) from $12,000, with financing options available for homeowners.
