Top 10 Countries Leading Battery Production 2025
Because the industry is global, some countries exert influence mainly through their manufacturers'' overseas
This treemap, created in partnership with the National Public Utilities Council, visualizes which countries had the most grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) in 2023. China has nearly half the world's grid storage battery capacity and keeps growing at a breakneck pace.
1. China China dominates global battery production, contributing over 80% of lithium-ion battery capacity, with an estimated 2,000 gigawatt-hours (GWh) produced in 2025. Major companies like CATL, BYD, and CALB drive this dominance, supported by investments exceeding $100 billion since 2015.
Panasonic and Toyota lead the market, focusing on NCM batteries for premium EVs. Japan's 60 GWh of overseas capacity and strong R&D in solid-state batteries ensure its competitiveness. The country's installed capacity supports a 10% share of global EV battery production, though high production costs limit scalability. 6. Poland
Poland Poland produces 50 GWh of batteries in 2025, driven by LG Energy Solution's Wroclaw facility, one of Europe's largest. The country accounts for 2% of global output, benefiting from low labor costs and proximity to European automakers.
