“China’s success [in battery manufacturing] results from its large domestic battery demand, 72GWh, and control of 80% of the world’s raw material refining, 77% of the world’s cell capacity and 60% of the world’s component manufacturing.” China’s domination of the lithium battery market for EVs was no accident.
China produced more than 15 billion units of lithium-ion batteries in 2019, which accounts for 73% of the world's 316 gigawatt-hours capacity. China is a significant producer of lithium batteries and electric vehicles, supported by government policies.
China dominates the EV battery industry. Can the rest of the world catch up? China is dominant in every aspect of electric vehicle battery technology. Now the rest of the world is trying to catch up. SCOTT SIMON, HOST:
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.
And double-clicking on the electric heart, China, Korea, and Japan together hold 92% market share for battery manufacturing (2022). This is partly due to their un-matched battery production speed leading to lower battery costs. China is miles ahead in battery costs
