The international battery market is dominated by several large, vertically integrated players, particularly the firms based in China, South Korea, and Japan. CATL maintains a critical lead in global battery cell production, whereas BYD’s deep integration across battery manufacturing, EV production, and raw-material sourcing is allowing it to gain a strategic edge. Simultaneously, the Korea-based players such as LG Energy Solution, SK On, and Samsung SDI are scaling aggressively in established economies through joint ventures with auto OEMs. In December 2023, Komatsu announced that it had completed its acquisition of American Battery Solutions, enabling the company to integrate advanced lithium-ion battery technology into its construction and mining equipment.  The company will be operating as a stand-alone entity within Komatsu and will continue to serve commercial vehicle segments while gaining new opportunities to scale its battery systems for heavy-duty and off-highway applications.

Corporate Landscape of the Battery Market:

• CATL is the global leader in terms of lithium-ion battery manufacturing, which also has a strong foothold in the electric vehicle and energy storage fields. The company is extensively focused on large-scale production facilities, vertical integration, and advanced R&D in next-generation chemistries, which positions the company as a predominant leader in this field. Further partnerships with leading OEMs are enabling it to secure long-term supply agreements in this field.
• BYD is emerging as a dominant force in this field by integrating battery production with its EV and renewable energy businesses. The company also produces lithium-ion batteries for various sectors, such as EVs, buses, as well as energy storage systems.  On the other hand, strategic expansion into international markets, investment in solid-state and LFP battery technologies, and strong government backing have positioned BYD as a critical player in both domestic and global landscapes.
