The growth is fueled by rising demand for electric vehicles and energy storage systems. China’s ambitious plans for renewable energy are also driving this expansion. Globally, the lithium-ion battery market is projected to reach $96.9 billion by 2028 (Market Research Report).

Export Boom

Between January and April, exports of lithium-ion batteries were valued at 155.4 billion yuan, equivalent to about $21.7 billion. This represents a substantial 25% increase compared to the same period last year. This surge in exports highlights China’s growing dominance in the global battery market.

The continuous advancements in battery technology and expanding production capabilities are expected to further strengthen China’s position in the global market. This trend will likely continue as the world intensifies efforts to adopt sustainable energy sources.
