Over the past decade, China has come to dominate this critical industry. Across every stage of the value chain for current-generation lithium-ion battery technologies, from mineral extraction and processing to battery manufacturing, China''s share of the global market is 70–90 percent. 1 Japan and South Korea, once world leaders in battery technology and production,
China is looking to restrict technology exports for solar wafers, which is raising concerns among lithium battery makers in other countries as to whether they will become the next target of China
On the contrary, countries that establish themselves as leaders in sophisticated battery technologies will gain significant economic benefits as the worldwide adoption of electric vehicles quickens.
The cost of an EV is largely driven by the battery pack, which can make up to 30-40 per cent of production costs. The Commission''s investigation zoomed in particularly on the Chinese government''s support for battery production, with a primary concern that overcapacity in battery production has allowed batteries
At the same time, Beijing''s support of the internationalization of its EV and battery companies could eventually hit a limit: Chinese policymakers are increasingly growing concerned over reverse technology transfers and
China is accusing the US of "bullying" China''s EV and battery companies with new tariffs. Concurrently, Chinese EV makers such as BYD are hurrying to ship EVs to Mexico and Brazil before the tariffs are in full force and further trade restrictions are applied by the US and other countries. A shipping industry source informed Nikkei Asia that the expedited
Understanding China''s and other nations'' responses to US trade measures can help policymakers and firms find ways to manage economic competition.
EV giant BYD makes its own batteries and is expanding aggressively overseas, while CATL, the world''s biggest battery manufacturer, accounts for 40% of the EV battery market.

China is considering restricting the export of technologies used in the production of lithium-ion batteries, a critical component in the global push for electric vehicles (EVs) and the clean energy transition.
However, global manufacturing capacity exceeded this by more than double, reaching close to 2,600 GWh. China''s battery production in 2023 alone matched worldwide demand. controlled by, or subject to the jurisdiction or direction of a government of a foreign country that is a covered nation” (China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea)—does
predicted level of battery production capacity for select countries between 2021 and 2025. Significant investment by the Chinese government over the past decade enabled China to lead the world in battery production with a 79% share in 2021. U.S. capacity should increase from 44 GWh in 2021 to 320 GWh in 2025, reflecting a 627% increase.
Vehicle electrification is an important pathway to reducing global greenhouse gas emissions. The supply chain for electric vehicle battery materials relies heavily on China, a dependency that can leave the US vulnerable to supply chain disruptions and geopolitical shifts. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) offers meaningful incentives for building batteries in the US
The Inflation Reduction Act states that starting in 2024, vehicles seeking to qualify for the law''s EV tax credits "cannot have battery components manufactured or assembled by a foreign entity of concern." And starting in 2025, "qualifying vehicles'' batteries cannot contain critical minerals extracted, processed, or recycled by a foreign entity of concern."
Worldwide battery production is dependent on China, as the country has realized vertical consolidation of value chains for critical minerals and minerals processing. Reliance on critical minerals
Global trade politics are delicate and complicated, and any move that China makes in battery supply chains could wind up coming back to hurt the country''s economy.
