CATL dominates global EV battery market for sixth straight year

Avatar for Scooter Doll

The 2022 report from South Korean firm SNE Research shows that EV battery manufacturer  CATL  once again holds its title as the largest in the world by installed battery capacity. That’s now six years in a row that CATL leads the global EV battery market and based on 2022’s numbers, is showing no signs of slowing down.

Contemporary Amperex Technology Co Ltd., better known as CATL, is a global energy technology company and the leading  EV battery manufacturer  in China. As a supplier to major EV automakers like Tesla , CATL has an ever-growing rolodex of EV clients demanding its products.

CATL also provides EV batteries to companies like NIO and Volkswagen, in addition to the Fisker Ocean SUV . In recent years, CATL has also begun developing other battery technologies and even launched its own  EV battery swap brand . All on its way to becoming a globally carbon neutral brand .

Last year, SNE Research released its annual report for 2021, which showed a big lead by CATL . Following this year’s report, CATL’s share of the global EV battery market grew even more while other competitors saw their percentages shrink.

EV battery market

CATL’s lead in the EV battery market grew in 2022

According to the most recent report from SNE Research in South Korea, global EV battery usage was 517.9 GWh in 2022, up 71.8% compared to a year prior. Based off data trends from the research firms compiled data, it predicts battery consumption will jump to 749 GWh in 2023.

Based on battery usage in 2022, CATL lead by more than double its second place competitor with 191.6 GWh. As a result, its percentage of the EV battery market grew to 37%. LG Energy Solution takes silver for a second year in a row, but saw its share of the market drop by over 6%.

Panasonic was in third place at the end of 2021, but also saw a drop in EV battery market share by nearly 5%, causing it to be usurped by Chinese battery maker BYD for bronze. In fact, BYD is the only company besides CATL in the top six of the list that saw market share growth in 2022. Per the SNE Research:

Japanese companies showed a relatively low growth rate, and their market share also decreased compared to the previous year. Panasonic grew by 4.6% compared to the previous year, and its market share decreased by 4.7%. In the case of Panasonic, as one of Tesla’s main battery suppliers, it was able to continue its growth trend thanks to increased sales of Tesla vehicles in the North American market and increased sales of TOYOTA ‘s BZ4X. In contrast , Chinese companies including CATL and BYD showed explosive growth. CATL ‘s growth was driven by increased sales of Tesla Model 3/Y, GAC ‘s Aion Y, and Geely ‘s ZEEKR 001. BYD ‘s high growth was driven by high sales of BEVs and PHEVs in China’s domestic market, including Yuan, Han, and Qin PLUS EVs.

While CATL feels untouchable for yet another year, this is overall good news for all of these companies, who are seeing a demand for their battery products that still far outweighs their capacity. Furthermore, many are collaborating with US automakers to establish production footprints in North America to help more EVs qualify for federal tax credits .

You know, as soon as we get that tardy battery guidance from the US Department of Treasury.

One third of the world’s EV batteries come from CATL

catl-symbolbild-2019-01-min

  • battery cells

According to an analysis by the market research company SNE Research, electric vehicle batteries with a total capacity of 203.4 GWh were installed worldwide in the first half of 2022. The leading supplier was CATL with 70.9 GWh or a market share of 34.8 per cent.

The gap to the second place is significant: LG Energy Solution follows CATL with a share of 14.4 per cent, ahead of BYD in third place with a share of 11.8 per cent. However, this also means that exactly 61 per cent of all electric car batteries come from these three manufacturers.

All other battery manufacturers only have a single-digit market share. Panasonic, with its major customer Tesla, is ranked fourth by SNE Research with a market share of 9.6 per cent. This is followed by another big step to SK On (6.5 per cent, before the field becomes somewhat narrower again: Samsung SDI comes in at 4.9 per cent, CALB from China at 4.1 per cent. VW partner Gotion High-Tech follows with 2.9 per cent, ahead of Sunwoda (1.5 per cent) and SVOLT Energy (1.3 per cent). All other manufacturers add up to 8.2 per cent.

The half-year evaluation clearly shows the pace of growth in the battery industry: In 2021, CATL had built 96.7 GWh of capacity (market share 32.6 per cent) and this year already reached 70.9 GWh in only six months. BYD also made significant gains from a market share of 8.8 per cent in 2021 in just one half of the year – it was even only 6.8 per cent in the first half of 2021. CALB (2.7 to 4.1 per cent) and Gotion (2.1 to 2.9 per cent) also made gains, albeit at a different level.

However, other companies were not able to grow as fast or do not yet have new, important factories in operation. LGES, for example, has lost significant market share; in 2021 as a whole, SNE Research had still calculated 20.3 per cent market share – instead of 14.4 per cent in H1 2022. LGES has hardly gained any production capacity: 27.3 GWh in H1 2021, now 29.2 GWh. CATL, on the other hand, has expanded from 32.9 to 70.9 GWh, BYD from 7.9 to 24.0 GWh. And it is not only the Chinese who are expanding: SK On also scaled up from 6.2 to 13.2 GWh, Samsung SDI from 6.6 to 10.0 GWh.

Panasonic also went down, from 12.2 to 9.6 per cent – up from 15 per cent in the first half of 2021. At the bottom of the top ten, AESC also failed to get above one per cent, with 1.4 per cent in 2021. Instead of AESC, SNE Research has now listed Sunwoda, and AESC is now only included in the “other” category.

CATL’s Global Installed Battery Capacity Exceeded 100GWh From Jan to Aug

CATL’s Global Installed Battery Capacity Exceeded 100GWh From Jan to Aug

South Korean energy market research institution SNE Research on October 6 released its latest data on the global installed battery capacity of electric vehicles. From January to August, 2022, the total installed battery capacity of electric vehicles in the world reached 287.6 GWh, up 78.7% year-on-year. Among them, Chinese firm CATL continued to dominate the list with cumulative installed capacity reaching 102.2 GWh, exceeding the 96.7 GWh achieved last year. From January to August 2022, its global market share was 35.5%, an increase of 5.9% from the same period last year.

SEE ALSO: CATL to Build 13th Battery Production Base

Meanwhile, LG Energy Solution of South Korea ranked second with an installed battery capacity of 39.4 GWh, only 2.9 GWh more than BYD in third place. BYD has maintained rapid growth momentum since the beginning of this year, ranking third with an installed capacity of 36.5 GWh, representing a year-on-year increase of 192.3%. In August, BYD’s installed battery capacity was 6.5 GWh, second only to CATL’s 18 GWh, ranking second in the world that month.

Japan’s Panasonic reached an installed battery capacity of 24 GWh, ranking fourth, with a slight increase of 5.3% from 22.8 GWh in the same period last year, but its market share has dropped from 14.1% last year to 8.3%.

In the 5th to 10th places, SK On and Samsung SDI of South Korea ranked 5th and 6th respectively, followed by all Chinese enterprises, namely CALB, Gotion Hi-Tech, Sunwoda and SVOLT.

According to SNE Research, the growth momentum of the three South Korean battery companies is mainly driven by EV sales. Among them, SK On has been propelled by an increase in sales of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6, while Samsung SDI is driven by an increase in sales of the Audi E-Tron, BMW iX and i4. LG Energy Solution is driven by the favorable sales of Volkswagen ID.4 and Ford Mustang Mach-E and the increased sales of Tesla ModelY.

The data show that the gap between Chinese and South Korean enterprises has further widened. In terms of growth rate, during the eight months, the installed capacity of Chinese enterprises among the top 10 power batteries increased by more than 100% year-on-year, and the loading capacity of Sunwoda increased by 587.5% year-on-year. Among South Korean battery companies, SK On has the largest year-on-year growth rate, reaching 99.2%, and it is also the only South Korean company with an increase in market share.

In the first eight months of this year, the market share of Chinese battery companies reached about 58.1%, an increase of 0.8% from the previous month, while South Korean enterprises held only about 25%, down 0.9% from the previous month.

In addition to publishing data on installed capacity, SNE Research also forecasts battery supply and demand in various regions around the world. It predicts that there will be no shortage of batteries in China before 2030, while the battery supply in Europe and North America is expected to be very tight, although the production capacity in these two regions will be greatly expanded.

Who powers the world’s EVs? China has 6 of the top 10 EV battery makers with 60 per cent market share, led by CATL and Warren Buffett-backed BYD

  • Besides CATL and BYD, CALB, Gotion High-tech, Sunwoda, and Eve Energy feature among the world’s top 10 EV battery makers, according to SNE Research
  • CATL installed 165.7 gigawatt hours of battery cells in the first 11 months of last year, giving it a global market share of 37.1 per cent

Daniel Ren

Chinese electric vehicle (EV) battery makers dominated the global market in 2022, with six companies featuring among the world’s top 10 players and accounting for a 60.5 per cent share amid a doubling of EV sales on the mainland.

CATL installed 165.7 gigawatt hours (GWh) of battery cells from January to November in 2022, 101.8 per cent more than the same period a year earlier, according to the research and consulting services provider. The company’s global market share rose from 32.8 per cent at the end of 2021 to 37.1 per cent.

Shenzhen-based EV and battery maker BYD ranked second. Its installation volume jumped 168.3 per cent to 60.6GWh, taking a 13.6 per cent share of the global market, compared with 8.8 per cent in 2021. Berkshire Hathaway owned 14.9 per cent of BYD’s Hong Kong-listed stock as of December 8, according to stock market filings.

Another four Chinese companies – CALB, Gotion High-tech, Sunwoda, and Eve Energy – were among the world’s top 10 EV battery makers.

CALB ranked seventh and had a 4 per cent market share; Gotion, in eighth place, had 2.8 per cent market share; Sunwoda was the ninth-largest player with a 1.7 per cent share while Eve, in 10th position, accounted for 1.3 per cent market share.

Sales of pure electric and plug-in hybrid cars in China are likely to have topped 6.4 million units in 2022, more than double the 2.99 million units recorded a year earlier, according to estimates from the China Passenger Car Association.

China accounts for two-thirds of the global sales, making it the world’s largest EV market.

The International Energy Agency predicted that EV deliveries in 2022 could represent 13 per cent of total passenger vehicles worldwide, which translates to about 10 million units.

CATL and BYD have been supplying to international carmakers such as Tesla and BMW. Their lithium-ion batteries, viewed as safe, economical and high-performance, are well received by the global marques.

sne research

Currently, two technologies – LFP (lithium, iron and phosphate) and NCM (lithium, nickel, cobalt and manganese) – are widely used to make EV batteries.

CATL’s LFP and NCM batteries are popular with Chinese and international electric-car makers.

BYD’s blade LFP battery packs, designed to be long and thin, have been supplied to Tesla’s factory in Berlin.

Chinese EV battery producers have to look abroad for customers as their capacity after a period of aggressive expansion will soon be three times greater than demand from domestic electric-car makers, according to a report by the Economic Daily, a newspaper run by the State Council.

Mainland manufacturers will produce an estimated 3,000 GWh of EV batteries in 2025, three times the expected domestic demand in 2025, the report said, basing its estimates on expansion plans unveiled by the major battery producers.

According to data from Korean renewable energy consultancy SNE Research, Chinese manufacturers’ share of the global EV battery market increased by a clear margin in 2022, with companies CATL, BYD, CALB, Gotion High-Tech, Sunwoda, and Farasis rising to a combined 60.4% from 48.2% in 2021. Since the US Inflation Reduction Act came into force, seen in some quarters as containing measures aimed at cutting China out of the US’s EV market, Chinese battery companies have looked to expand their presence in Asian and European markets instead. This brings their competition with South Korea into sharper relief. Although the use of batteries made by South Korean companies has been continuously increasing in recent years, its market share in 2022 dropped by 6.5%. South Korea’s three major EV battery manufacturers — LG Energy Solution, SK On, and Samsung SDI — accounted for 23.7% of the global market in 2022, according to SNE. [ SNE Research ]

In a seafloor surprise, metal-rich chunks may generate deep-sea oxygen.

These nodules can act like batteries that split seawater into hydrogen and oxygen

A metal claw reaches for a round nodule on the seafloor.

Metallic nodules (such as the 10-centimeter one seen above being collected from the North Atlantic Ocean seafloor in 2021) can act like weak batteries and produce enough voltage to split seawater into hydrogen and oxygen, new research suggests.

In an unexpected twist, metal-rich nodules found on the seafloor are generating oxygen, new research suggests. This meager but steady supply of the vital gas may help support seafloor ecosystems in areas currently targeted for deep-sea mining, scientists say.

Scientists have long presumed that much of the dissolved oxygen in the deep sea was transported there from surface waters. It can be generated at the surface by plant life via photosynthesis or diffuse from the atmosphere as a result of wave action, says Andrew Sweetman, a deep-sea ecologist at the Scottish Association for Marine Science in Oban.

But new experiments, both in chambers lowered to the Pacific Ocean seafloor and in the lab, indicate that there can be other sources for that oxygen , Sweetman and his colleagues report July 22 in Nature Geoscience.

Sweetman has been studying seafloor ecosystems thousands of meters deep in the Pacific for years. In broad areas there, metal-rich nodules that contain valuable minerals — and are thus targets for mining — litter the seabed ( SNE: 2/21/14 ). On several expeditions, the team’s dissolved oxygen sensors oddly suggested that the substance, rather than just being consumed by organisms, was actually, on the whole, being produced. The researchers dismissed the readings as erroneous and then had the instruments recalibrated for their next outing.

After several such expeditions yielded similarly anomalous readings, the team developed a different method of measuring dissolved oxygen — which also showed that the gas was being generated.

The team’s data showed that the rogue oxygen wasn’t coming from bubbles trapped in their equipment, nor was it seeping out of the polymer material used to make the test chambers. It also wasn’t the result of natural radioactivity of metals in the nodules splitting water molecules or the breakdown of manganese oxide minerals in the nodules. Lab tests under conditions mimicking the frigid darkness of the Pacific seafloor also indicated the concentrations of dissolved oxygen were rising, not falling, in the presence of the nodules.

“That’s when we said ‘My god, we have another source of oxygen,’” says Sweetman.

In a lab, wires held by clamps poke out of a metal-rich chunk retrieved from the seafloor in an experiment testing the nodule's electric potential.

When team members further tested the nodules, they found that the lumps were acting like tiny batteries, producing up to 0.95 volts between some spots on the lumps’ surfaces. Although it takes a little more than 1.5 volts to split seawater into hydrogen and oxygen, Sweetman suggests that under certain conditions, groupings of nodules can together produce enough voltage to do the trick.

Oxygen production seems to be happening on the surfaces of the nodules, Sweetman says. In the team’s tests, the rate of oxygen production appears to be correlated with the average nodule surface area, the researchers report.

“In the bigger picture, this is just one of many processes in the deep sea that we’re only now discovering,” says Lisa Levin, a biological oceanographer at Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, Calif. More than half of the biodiversity in these ecosystems lives on the nodules, taking advantage of the hard surfaces for footholds, but also possibly to access the oxygen being generated there. It’s not clear, she notes, whether the organisms living in the underlying sediments also depend on this local source of oxygen.

“It’s surprising that we didn’t know about this [process] before, that we’ve overlooked it,” says Beth Orcutt, a geomicrobiologist at the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences in East Boothbay, Maine.

Deep-sea mining of the metallic nodules would stir up plumes of sediment that could reaccumulate and smother nearby unmined areas. If so, mining could reduce the production of oxygen there, Orcutt adds, though it’s unclear what this might do to the wider ecosystem. That reduction would be above and beyond the amount resulting from removal of the nodules themselves.

“At this point,” she notes, “we don’t know if oxygen production has an impact beyond the area around the nodules.”

Objective and design

The exact immunological mechanism of widespread chronic inflammatory skin disorder psoriasis has not been fully established. CD11b + Gr.1 + myeloid-derived cells are immature heterogeneous cells with T-cell suppressive property in neoplasia; however, influence of these cells on adaptive immunity is highly contextual; therefore, we dubbed these cells as myeloid-derived adjuster cells (MDAC). We studied imiquimod induced psoriasis in mouse model and evaluated for the first time the RORγt-NFAT1 axis in MDACs and the function, differentiation and interaction of these cells with T cells.

Materials and methods

The status of T cells and MDACs; their functionality and differentiation properties, and the roles of RORγt and NFAT1 in MDACs were evaluated using flow cytometry, qRT-PCR and confocal imaging.

We found gradual increase in T cells and MDACs and an increase in the number of IL17 -secreting MDACs and T cells in the skin of psoriatic animals. We also noted that MDAC differentiation is biased toward M1 macrophages and DCs which perpetuate inflammation. We found that psoriatic MDACs were unable to suppress T-cell proliferation or activation but seemingly helped these T cells produce more IL17. Inhibition of the RORγt/NFAT1 axis in MDACs increased the suppressive nature of MDACs, allowing these cells to suppress the activity of psoriatic T-cells.

Our results indicate that altered MDAC properties in psoriatic condition sustains pathological inflammation and RORγt and NFAT1 as promising intervention target for psoriasis management.
