Webinar: Drivers, Emerging Challenges and Trends in Li-ion BESS Markets and Technologies
Presenter: Conrad Nichols, Principal Technology Analyst, IDTechEx
Date: Thursday October 29, 2026
Demand for Li-ion BESS technologies will continue to increase over the coming decade to support the growing penetration of renewable energy sources, alongside new demand created by data center build-out. Policy is also shifting from simply setting storage targets towards creating bankable revenue frameworks and increasingly sophisticated routes-to-market for BESS deployment. While policy and financing are evolving to support BESS procurement and project investment, new challenges are also emerging across the value chain.
In this webinar, IDTechEx Principal Technology Analyst Conrad Nichols provides a comprehensive overview of the rapidly expanding global Li-ion BESS market, with key insights into regional drivers, emerging challenges and trends across markets and BESS technologies.
Drawing on research from the new IDTechEx market report "Batteries for Stationary Energy Storage 2027-2037: Markets, Forecasts, Players, Technologies, Policy & Projects, with key areas covered including:
• Li-ion battery demand across sectors
• Li-ion BESS deployments by country and sector
• Grid-scale BESS projects by capacity (GWh)
• Key regional drivers and emerging challenges in the BESS market
• Residential battery market - types of players vs market contribution
• An overview of energy storage technologies
• Li-ion BESS chemistry trend and key technology trends shaping the BESS market
• Thermal management and safety overview for BESS
