How much Li-ion battery is imported from China?

Among these, li-ion battery imports from China amounted to $13.2 billion, representing a 42.2% year-on-year increase and accounting for over 70% of the total. In recent years, the U.S. government implemented a series of measures to support the development of domestic new energy supply chains.

Will the EU import battery cells in 2025?

By 2025, the EU domestic production of battery cells is expected to cover EU’s consumption needs for electric vehicles and energy storage. However, it is likely that the EU will be import reliant to various degrees for primary and processed (batt-grade) materials.

Why is China developing the NEV battery industry?

As the largest developing country, China has been adhering to the spirit of “pursuit of excellence” and has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in science and technology innovation, and the NEV battery industry is just one of the projects. The Chinese government has introduced support policies to develop this industry successively.

Why is the demand for NEV batteries increasing?

In recent years, the explosive development of NEVs has led to increasing demand for NEV batteries, which has led to the rapid development of the NEV battery industry, resulting in increasing prices of raw materials manufactured and sold by raw material manufacturers, i.e., the upstream battery industry.

Will the EU be reliant on battery raw materials?

However, it is likely that the EU will be import reliant to various degrees for primary and processed (batt-grade) materials. Australia and Canada are the two countries with the greatest potential to provide additional and low-risk supply to the EU for almost all battery raw materials.

Which country exports Li-ion batteries?

In 2021, the United States was the top destination for China’s li-ion battery exports, and in 2023, China exported li-ion batteries worth a staggering $13.5 billion to the US, marking a 40.1% year-on-year increase and tripling the 2021 export value.
