The lithium ion (Li-ion) battery industry has gone from one crisis to the next, including lower than expected sales in the electric vehicle segment as well as safety incidents that have damaged the technology's reputation. As a result, the vendor landscape has consolidated, leading to bankruptcies, factory closings, and a general investor pullback. Nevertheless, the market is still crowded with dozens of players, all of whom are competing to remain viable in this promising but challenging sector.

The contract wins are coming for Li-ion vendors, although not soon enough or at large enough scales to keep all of the market participants afloat. The coming years will be crucial for each of the major players. Those that have established a viable strategy, and are capable of executing that strategy, should be able to flourish once the marketplace matures. Navigant Research forecasts that the Li-ion stationary energy storage market will grow from 27 MW of global installed capacity in 2013 to 1,753 MW in 2022.

This Navigant Research Leaderboard Report examines the strategy and execution of 16 Li-ion vendors that are active in the stationary energy storage market and rates them on 12 criteria, including systems integration, safety engineering, chemistry performance, geographic reach, manufacturing and product performance, pricing, and overall corporate financial health. Using Navigant Research's proprietary Leaderboard methodology, vendors are profiled, rated, and ranked with the goal of providing industry participants with an objective assessment of these companies' relative strengths and weaknesses in the global Li-ion market.
