The grid connected battery market in Asia Pacific region held the dominant position in the global market in 2017 and is projected to retain its dominance throughout the forecast period. China, India, and Japan are growth engines in the grid connected batteries market in Asia Pacific. Increasing investment in smart city initiatives is one of the key driving factors for growth of the grid connected battery storage market in the region. The integration of smart grid technology for the development of advanced electric transmission and distribution infrastructure in smart cities have accelerated the market in this region. For instance, according to the Indian government Union Budget 2018-19, the government has selected 99 cities under the smart city mission and will provide a fund of US$ 3.1 billion for the development of these cities. Moreover, increasing electricity production in Asia Pacific countries have also accelerated demand for grid connected battery storage. For instance, according to Coherent Market Insights, in 2017, India produced 1,156 terawatt hours electricity up from 1,098 terawatt hours in 2016. In 2017, 16% of the total electricity produced by renewable resources in India. Similarly, in 2017, China produced 6,529 terawatt hours up from 6165 terawatt hours in 2016. Hence, this increasing production of electricity have accelerated growth of the market of grid connected battery in this region. In addition to this,
