On May 20, 2025, InfoLink Consulting released its Q1 2025 Global Energy Storage Supply Chain Database, reporting global energy storage cell shipments of 99. 62% year-on-year increase, despite a 7.
Which energy storage cell manufacturers have the most shipments in 2024?
In the first three quarters of 2024, global utility-scale energy storage cell shipments reached 180 GWh, up 49.4% YoY. The top five manufacturers, CATL, EVE Energy, Hithium, CALB, and BYD, dominate the market, with the top two holding nearly 55% combined share. Hithium, CALB, and BYD each shipped over 10 GWh with similar volumes.
The battery energy storage systems industry has witnessed a higher inflow of investments in the last few years and is expected to continue the same trend in the coming future. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), investments in battery energy storage exceeded USD 20 billion in 2022.
