China's industrial regulator plans to launch a major document to guide the production capacity of lithium-ion batteries, which industry experts said will knock out a batch of low-end battery cells and accelerate the structural adjustment of the country's booming lithium-ion battery sector.
The data is categorized under China Premium Database’s Energy Sector – Table CN.RBP: Lithium Battery Industry: Capacity and Production. CN: Production Capacity: Lithium Iron Phosphate data was reported at 3,962.000 Ton th in 2023. This records an increase from the previous number of 2,128.200 Ton th for 2022.
The installed capacity of power batteries exceeded 435 GWh. Exports of lithium-ion batteries in 2023 jumped over 33 percent from a year earlier to 457.4 billion yuan, the data revealed. China's lithium-ion battery sector sustained its growth momentum in 2023, with the total output rising 25 percent year on year, official data showed.

The China Automotive Power Battery Industry Innovation Alliance predicted that by 2025, the country's lithium-ion battery production capacity will likely exceed 3,000GWh. However, the capacity utilization rate of the country's lithium-ion battery industry dropped to about 40 percent last year and is likely to reach 35 percent by 2025.
The output of lithium-ion batteries for power storage stood at 185 GWh. The installed capacity of power batteries exceeded 435 GWh. Exports of lithium-ion batteries in 2023 jumped over 33 percent from a year earlier to 457.4 billion yuan, the data revealed.

Before the 2000s, lithium-ion battery production was dominated by Japan with its superior technologies, by companies like Panasonic. Japan alone made 88% of the world''s battery supply. In the following two decades, China invested heavily in its sourcing and manufacturing processes. Since 2015, China surpassed Japan, Korea, and the rest of the world and became the largest exporter of lithium batteries. Combined with Japan and Korea, the countries account for 95% of …
