Regardless of the growth in North America and Europe, China’s dominance is unmatched. Battery manufacturing is just one piece of the puzzle, albeit a major one. Most of the parts and metals that make up a battery —like battery-grade lithium, electrolytes, separators, cathodes, and anodes—are primarily made in China.
Battery production in China is more integrated than in the United States or Europe, given China’s leading role in upstream stages of the supply chain. China represents nearly 90% of global installed cathode active material manufacturing capacity and over 97% of anode active material manufacturing capacity today.
According to Aditya Lolla, China’s battery manufacturing capacity in 2022 was 0.9 terawatt-hours, which is roughly 77% of the global share. Lolla is the Asia programme lead for Ember, a UK-based energy think-tank. Although the term “new three” is relatively fresh, the surge of the trio – all key to decarbonisation – has been a long time coming.
China has been an undisputed leader in the battery energy storage system deployment by a far margin. The nation more than quadrupled its battery fleet last year, which helped it surpass its 2025 target of 30 GW of operational capacity two years early.
When the U.S. pulled back investment in EV and battery manufacturing, China doubled down. Now, over 80% of the world's lithium-ion batteries are made in China. Before 2010, China was eons behind the U.S., Europe, and Japan in making competitive gas-powered cars.
From 2020 to 2023, China’s global EV exports increased by 851 percent, with the largest share of those exports (nearly 40 percent) going to Europe. Collectively, Chinese EV and EV battery enterprises have at least equaled—and in some cases surpassed—their Western peers in innovation capacity and product quality.
Visualizing China''s Dominance in Battery Manufacturing (2022 …
With nearly 900 gigawatt-hours of manufacturing capacity or 77% of the global total, China is home to six of the world''s 10 biggest battery makers. Behind China''s battery dominance is its vertical integration across the rest of the EV supply chain, from mining the metals to producing the EVs.
Mapped: EV Battery Manufacturing Capacity, by Region
Although China is expected to come out on top again, its share of worldwide capacity could fall to around 65% as other countries ramp up battery production. For instance, Germany''s capacity is projected to rise to 164 GWh, representing a 15-fold increase in just four years.. Furthermore, the U.S. is expected to more than double its capacity by 2025.
