MECHANICAL FLYWHEEL MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global mechanical flywheel market size stood at approximately USD 2.44 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 2.77 billion in 2025, growing further to USD 7.55 billion by 2033 at an estimated CAGR of 13.4% from 2025 to 2033.

The global mechanical flywheel, also known as the mechanical energy storage. It works by storing kinetic energy in a rotating mass, typically a large spinning disc. When energy is needed, the spinning disc releases its storage energy, which can be used to power a generator or other machinery. The speed of the spinning disc determines the amount of energy stored, and the energy can be released rapidly or slowly depending on the application. It can be used for a variety of applications, including grid-scale energy sources like wind and solar power, helping to overcome the intermittent nature of these energy sources.

The mechanical flywheel market progression can be credited to the upsurge in the demand due to increasing demand for energy storage solutions and efficiency and electric vehicles. It can be used in hybrid and electric vehicles to store energy and improve their performance. The growing demand for electric vehicles is expected to drive the demand for this machinery is used in these vehicles. With growing concerns over the climatic change, there is a global shift towards the adoption of renewable energy sources. It can help to store the energy generated by renewable sources, thereby driving their adoption and market growth.
