The market for energy storage systems (ESS) in data centers is evolving rapidly, shaped by the dual imperatives of power resilience and sustainability. Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) remain a foundational technology, deployed universally to ensure uptime during grid disturbances. At the same time, interest is growing in longer-duration, large-scale ESS-including long-duration energy storage (LDES)-that can support decarbonization goals, reduce reliance on fossil-fueled generators, and enable participation in energy markets. However, adoption of these systems remains limited due to high costs, regulatory uncertainty, and integration challenges.
This Guidehouse Research report analyzes the current and projected market for ESS in data centers, with a focus on UPS systems. It explores key drivers such as the need for IT system resilience, emissions reduction, and energy cost management, as well as barriers including policy volatility, safety concerns, and grid constraints. The report also examines emerging business models-such as utility partnerships and power purchase agreements-that are enabling new forms of ESS deployment, particularly among hyperscalers.
Given the early-stage nature of large-scale ESS in data centers, the report provides quantitative forecasts only for UPS systems. These forecasts are segmented by world region, storage technology, and data center tier, and include both capacity and revenue projections through 2034. The report also highlights recent M&A activity and project announcements, offering insight into how data center operators, utilities, and storage providers are navigating a rapidly shifting energy landscape.
