The household electricity consumption per capita in India amounted to ***** kilowatt hours in 2016. Of the total power consumption in fiscal year 2018, industrial sector accounted for the largest share, at about ** percent, followed by domestic and agricultural sectors at ** and ** percent respectively. The transmission losses in electricity across the south Asian country stood at a little over ** percent that year.

Iceland is by far the largest per capita consumer of electricity worldwide, averaging 51.9 megawatt-hours per person in 2024. This results from a combination of factors, such as low-cost electricity production, increased heating demand, and the presence of energy-intensive industries in the country. Norway, Qatar, and Canada were also some of the world's largest electricity consumers per capita that year. China is the leading overall power consumer Power-intensive industries, the purchasing power of the average citizen, household size, and general power efficiency standards all contribute to the amount of electricity that is consumed per person every year. However, in terms of total electricity consumption, a country's size and population can also play an important role. In 2024, the three most populous countries in the world, namely China, the United States, and India, were also the three largest electricity consumers. Global electricity consumption on the rise In 2023, net electricity consumption worldwide amounted to over 27,000 terawatt-hours, an increase of 30 percent in comparison to a decade earlier. When compared to 1980, global electricity consumption more than tripled. On the generation side, the world is still strongly dependent on fossil fuels. Despite the world's renewable energy capacity quintupling in the last decade, coal and gas combined still accounted for almost 60 percent of global electricity generation in 2023.

In the financial year 2023, electricity consumption per capita amounted to around **** megawatt-hours in India. Electricity access, ownership of appliances, and economic growth are some of the leading drivers for increasing electricity consumption in this south Asian country.

Electricity consumption in India has grown steadily over the past decades and amounted to ***** terawatt-hours in 2023. The industrial sector accounted for the largest electricity consumption in the country, followed by households.

Qatar has the highest per capita energy consumption worldwide. In 2023, residents in Qatar used an average of *** megawatt-hours worth of energy - all of which was derived from fossil fuels. Sources of primary energy In 2023, oil and coal were the main fuels used for primary energy worldwide. Except for the Nordic countries and Canada, all other countries listed among the leading 10 consumers sourced energy almost exclusively from fossil fuels. Many of them are also responsible for large oil production shares or the refining thereof. Differences in energy consumption There is a notable disparity between the highest and lowest energy users. Resource-rich countries outside the temperate climate zone tend to use more energy to heat or cool homes and are also more likely to use greater amounts of energy as costs are much lower. For example, electricity prices in oil and gas-producing countries such as Qatar and Saudi Arabia are only a fraction of those of resource-poor countries in Europe. Furthermore, energy consumption disparity is a strong indicator of the different income levels around the world and largely tied to economic prosperity.

The residential battery energy storage systems (BESS) market is experiencing robust growth, driven by increasing electricity prices, rising concerns about grid reliability, and the expanding adoption of renewable energy sources like solar power. The market, currently valued at approximately $5 billion in 2025, is projected to exhibit a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 15% from 2025 to 2033, reaching an estimated market size exceeding $15 billion by 2033. This growth is fueled by technological advancements leading to improved battery efficiency, longer lifespans, and reduced costs. Lithium-ion batteries currently dominate the market due to their high energy density and relatively long cycle life, though flow batteries are gaining traction for their scalability and potential for longer durations of energy storage. Segmentation by capacity reveals that systems between 10 and 20 kWh are currently the most popular, reflecting the average energy needs of residential households. However, as energy consumption patterns shift and more homeowners embrace electrification, the demand for systems above 20 kWh is expected to rise significantly in the coming years. Key players like Panasonic, Samsung SDI, LG Chem, Tesla, and BYD are driving innovation and competition, expanding their product portfolios and geographical reach to cater to the growing demand. Geographic variations exist, with North America and Europe representing substantial market shares, while the Asia-Pacific region is poised for substantial growth given its increasing adoption of renewable energy technologies. Geographical expansion and technological advancements are critical factors influencing market dynamics. North America and Europe currently hold a significant market share due to established renewable energy infrastructure and supportive government policies. However, the Asia-Pacific region, particularly China and India, is expected to witness rapid expansion driven by rising energy demand and supportive governmental initiatives promoting renewable energy integration. The market is further segmented by battery type, with lithium-ion batteries dominating the market, followed by lead-acid and emerging flow battery technologies. Lead-acid batteries, although currently holding a smaller share, are still relevant due to their lower initial cost. Flow batteries are becoming more competitive due to their increased lifespan and potential for large-scale deployment. Government incentives, such as tax credits and subsidies, are playing a vital role in encouraging residential BESS adoption, making the technology more accessible and economically viable for homeowners.
