Before the 2000s, lithium-ion battery production was dominated by Japan with its superior technologies, by companies like Panasonic. Japan alone made 88% of the world''s battery supply. In the following two decades, China invested heavily in its sourcing and manufacturing processes. Since 2015, China surpassed Japan, Korea, and the rest of the world and became the largest exporter of lithium batteries. Combined with Japan and Korea, the countries account for 95% of lithium battery production in the wo
''They''re just so much further ahead'': How China won the world''s
Today, China dominates the production at every stage of the battery supply chain, apart from the mining and processing of some raw minerals, according to the International Energy Agency.
China dominates global trade of battery minerals
China domestically produced approximately 18% (33,000 short tons) of the world''s mined lithium in 2023, and Chinese companies control 25% of the world''s lithium mining capacity.
