China could account for 45 percent of total Li-ion demand in 2025 and 40 percent in 2030—most battery-chain segments are already mature in that country. Nevertheless, growth is expected to be highest
In contrast, lithium batteries are mainly produced and consumed in China, Japan, and South Korea (USGS, 2022). The growing demand for electric vehicles has intensified global competition for lithium, a mineral now classified as a strategic resource by the United States, the European Union, and China ( Agusdinata et al., 2018

Chinese companies control half of global lithium production and over 70% of Li-ion battery manufacturing (Benchmark Mineral Intelligence 2020). Until recently, the United States (US) and Europe have not taken significant steps to stop such dominance (Kumagai 2021 ).
Figure 1 introduces the current state-of-the-art battery manufacturing process, which includes three major parts: electrode preparation, cell assembly, and battery electrochemistry activation. First, the active material (AM), conductive additive, and binder are mixed to form a uniform slurry with the solvent.
Lithium batteries in China. China produced more than 15 billion units of lithium-ion batteries in 2019, which accounts for 73% of the world''s 316 gigawatt-hours capacity. [1] China is a major producer of both lithium batteries and electric vehicles, with favourable policies for manufacturers and consumers. [citation needed]
The growth in EV sales is pushing up demand for batteries, continuing the upward trend of recent years. Demand for EV batteries reached more than 750 GWh in 2023, up 40% relative to 2022, though the annual growth rate slowed slightly compared to in 2021‑2022. Electric cars account for 95% of this growth. Globally, 95% of the growth in battery

China issued new guidelines for its lithium-ion battery industry on Wednesday — a move aimed at tackling its rapid expansion and a plunge in prices due to overcapacity. The guidelines, issued by China''s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, aim to ''guide'' lithium battery firms towards scaling back manufacturing
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.
102. 0.1%. Total. 105,984. 100%. Australia alone produces 52% of the world''s lithium. Unlike Chile, where lithium is extracted from brines, Australian lithium comes from hard-rock mines for the mineral spodumene. China, the third-largest producer, has a strong foothold in the lithium supply chain.

China has a wealth of natural resources, including many of the raw materials needed for the production of li-ion batteries, such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel. However, in many cases, China''s strength in these industries lies not in the number of resources and scale of extraction, but in its processing and refining capabilities.
