Chinese giants CATL and BYD have firmly secured the top two spots globally, with their combined market share accounting for over 50%. South Korean market research firm SNE Research released the *Global Electric Vehicle Battery Usage Report for January-November 2025. The data shows that from January to November 2025, global electric vehicle battery consumption reached 1,046 GWh, representing a year-on-year increase of 32.6%. By the end of 2025, the global electric vehicle battery market continues to grow, but the focus of growth is increasingly concentrated in the Chinese market. The report points out that with the increase in electric vehicle penetration and intensified price competition in the Chinese market, the trend centered on lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries is spreading globally. Chinese manufacturers, meanwhile, have enhanced their influence through overseas localized production and customer diversification. Looking at the manufacturer rankings, among the top ten companies globally in terms of installed power battery capacity from January to November, six are Chinese companies. They are: CATL (400.0 GWh), BYD (175.2 GWh), CALB (50.9 GWh), Gotion High-tech (44.9 GWh), EVE Energy (28.4 GWh), and SVOLT (27.5 GWh). CATL maintained its leading position with a year-on-year growth of 34.5% (400.0 GWh). BYD ranked second on the list with a growth rate of 31.3% (175.2 GWh). Their combined market share exceeded 50%. Furthermore, three manufacturers—Gotion High-tech, EVE Energy, and SVOLT—all maintained year-on-year growth rates above 77%. Among the top ten manufacturers, only Samsung SDI experienced negative year-on-year growth (-5.1%).
