South Korea Sodium Sulfur Battery Market Size
Growing demand for energy storage systems in the utility, power generation, and UPS applications have driven the sodium sulfur battery market in this
But South Korea's battery industry faces mounting pressure from China, whose manufacturers, led by CATL, currently account for nearly 90 percent of global energy storage battery capacity. CATL expanded its footprint in January by establishing a South Korean subsidiary, signaling an aggressive push into the local market.
Due to the intermittent nature of renewable power supply, the power producers have started the adoption of energy storage systems, along with renewable power installations. The sodium-sulfur batteries are high-temperature products that are highly suitable for grid-scale applications.
CATL expanded its footprint in January by establishing a South Korean subsidiary, signaling an aggressive push into the local market. CATL also dominated the global EV battery market last year with a 37.9 percent share, far outpacing LG Energy Solution's 10.8 percent, according to industry data.
The initiative is closely tied to South Korea's 11th Basic Plan for Electricity Supply and Demand, which outlines an aggressive ramp-up in renewables. The plan aims to boost the share of green energy from 8.4 percent of the national energy mix in 2023 to 29.2 percent by 2038.
