In the rest of the world, battery demand growth jumped to more than 70% in 2023 compared to 2022, as a result of increasing EV sales. In China, PHEVs accounted for about one-third of total electric car sales in 2023 and 18% of battery demand, up from one-quarter of total sales in 2022 and 17% of sales in 2021.
As manufacturing capacity expands in the major electric car markets, we expect battery production to remain close to EV demand centres through to 2030, based on the announced pipeline of battery manufacturing capacity expansion as of early 2024.
“The failure to establish domestic battery manufacturing capabilities threatens the very existence of the automotive industry in Europe,” said Andy Palmer, former chief executive officer of Aston Martin Global Lagonda Holdings Plc.
Chinese battery makers like CATL and BYD have been thriving while competitors in South Korea, Japan and Europe have been struggling. The Chinese battery makers are benefiting from soaring sales of electric vehicles in China, where the technology accounts for half of new car sales.
Production in Europe and the United States reached 110 GWh and 70 GWh of EV batteries in 2023, and 2.5 million and 1.2 million EVs, respectively. In Europe, the largest battery producers are Poland, which accounted for about 60% of all EV batteries produced in the region in 2023, and Hungary (almost 30%).
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.
