Reference News Network, November 24 report - According to Reuters, November 18 report, in 2025, China's exports of batteries and battery energy storage systems set a new historical high, with a year-to-date increase of 24% in the first nine months of this year.

According to data from the energy think tank "Ember," batteries have generated approximately $60 billion in export revenue for China so far this year. China is the global leader in battery manufacturing and exports, benefiting from a surge in demand for batteries worldwide for electric vehicles and power grids.

So far in 2025, 23 countries have each purchased Chinese-made batteries worth $500 million or more, highlighting the unparalleled influence of Chinese battery companies.

In 2025, Germany was China's largest export market for batteries, with sales reaching $10.5 billion by September. The United States was China's second-largest market (9.3 billion dollars), followed by Vietnam (3.6 billion dollars).

The report said that the purchase of Chinese batteries by Germany showed the largest annual growth, increasing by 2.5 billion dollars compared to the same period in 2024.

China's battery exports to the Netherlands, Australia, and India also saw significant year-on-year growth, with imports from these three countries increasing by more than 1 billion dollars compared to last year.

Regionally, Europe was the largest destination for China's battery exports, accounting for 42% of China's total battery exports so far in 2025. Asia was the second-largest market (26% share), followed by North America (17% share).

The Middle East and Latin America were the fastest-growing regions in 2025, with increases of 107% and 99%, respectively, compared to the previous year.

China's battery exports to Saudi Arabia, the biggest buyer in the Middle East, were nearly four times that of 2024, while battery imports from Chile, the biggest buyer in Latin America, increased by 320% compared to 2024.

Battery imports in Oceania (mainly driven by Australia) and Africa (mainly driven by Nigeria, South Africa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Egypt) also saw significant growth in 2025.

Outside of the major markets mentioned above, Chinese battery export companies have also achieved rapid growth in other countries, which will remain targets for battery sellers.

Countries such as Spain, the UAE, Pakistan, Mexico, and the Philippines have set ambitious goals for solar power generation and electric vehicle sales, which all depend on batteries.

In 2025, these countries have already spent more than 200 million dollars importing batteries from China, clearly indicating that China has established an extensive distribution and service network there to further explore its sales potential.

Greece, Egypt, Italy, Indonesia, and Cambodia are other notable fast-growing markets, with sales in these markets exceeding 100 million dollars this year.

The United States was one of the few countries where China's battery imports decreased this year. The United States is involved in a trade war with China, has cut federal government support for electric vehicles, and is seeking to develop its own battery industry. (Translated by Wang Qun)
