China CATL ranked fifth last year. The Chinese government mandates the use of Chinese-made batteries for electric vehicles produced in their own country, and CATL ranks first in terms of global market share, including the Chinese market. Excluding the Chinese market, however, CATL’s share was at 6.5%, up 1.2% from the previous year. SNE Research analyzed that “the influence of CATL, which had been limited to the Chinese market, is spreading outside of China.”
