Wood Mackenzie forecasts global commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage to grow seven-fold by 2035, surpassing 7 TWh capacity, driven by falling costs, policy support, and regional shifts including Europe's rise over the US in annual installations and Australia's leadership in residential storage.
