The top eight battery factories in China—CATL, BYD, Guoxuan High-Tech, Lishen Battery, CALB, BAK Battery, Wanxiang Group, and OptimumNano Energy—represent a remarkable mix of scale, innovation, and strategic positioning that has enabled China to stay ahead of the curve in the battery industry.
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.
China’s lead is particularly wide in batteries. According to the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, 65.5 percent of widely cited technical papers on battery technology come from researchers in China, compared with 12 percent from the United States.

China, with its unprecedented focus on sustainable development and digital transformation, has heavily invested in battery production. As a result, it has quickly become the world’s largest manufacturer and consumer of rechargeable batteries, powered by a robust network of factories that cater to both domestic and international demand.
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.
Currently in China, in addition to well-known battery giants like Contemporary Amperex Technology Co Ltd and BYD, peers such as CALB, Gotion High-tech Co, Sunwoda and Eve Energy are also among the world's top 10 EV battery makers. All of these battery giants have announced plans to expand foreign business.
