China dominates the battery supply chain with nearly 85% of global battery cell production capacity and substantial shares in cathode and anode active material production. The extraction and processing of critical minerals is also highly concentrated geographically, with China in the lead in processing the most critical minerals.
About USD 115 billion – the lion’s share – was for EV batteries, with China, Europe and the United States together accounting for over 90% of the total. China dominates the battery supply chain with nearly 85% of global battery cell production capacity and substantial shares in cathode and anode active material production.
Global lithium production totalled 100,000 tons (90.7 million kg) last year, while worldwide reserves stand at about 22 million tons (20 billion kg), according to the US Geological Survey. Dividing lithium production by the amount needed per battery shows that enough lithium was mined last year to make just under 11.4 million EV batteries.
The majority of battery demand for EVs today can be met with domestic or regional production in China, Europe and the United States. However, the share of imports remains relatively large in Europe and the United States, meeting more than 20% and more than 30% of EV battery demand, respectively.
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%).
Nonetheless, battery manufacturing in Europe and the United States remains more expensive than in China. For example, producing a battery cell in the United States is nearly 20% 3 more expensive than in China, even when assuming that material costs do not vary regionally.
