Global ESS Procurement Trends in 2025 — What Buyers Care About Most

2025-11-26 09:15:48

Based on market analysis and feedback from global distributors, EPCs, and project developers, the following trends define ESS procurement priorities in 2025:

1. Certification & Safety First

UL9540/9540A, IEC62619, CE, UN38.3, MSDS, and TUV reports are now standard requirements. Buyers increasingly demand transparent test data, thermal runaway reports, and safety design explanations.

2. Delivery Time & Supply Chain Stability

Reliability is valued more than price. Buyers want manufacturers with proven production capacity, automated manufacturing lines, and stable raw material sources.

3. Integrated & Complete Solutions

Solar + storage, BESS + PV inverter packages, AC/DC coupling, EMS platforms, and turnkey systems are more attractive than standalone batteries.

4. Long-Term Partnership Over One-Time Purchase

Fast technical support, clear documentation, remote debugging, and multilingual service teams strongly influence procurement decisions.

Manufacturers that can offer certified products, consistent delivery, transparent communication, and professional after-sales service will continue gaining market share globally.
