The online edition Visual Capitalist provided information on the current state of affairs in the market for the production of batteries for electric vehicles.
According to the analytical data of the GlobalData company, in the period from 2020 to 2024, the global volume of battery production will increase from 95.3 GWh to 410.5 GWh.
According to the infographic presented, the leading manufacturer of the industry is the Chinese CATL, with a market share of 32.5%. LFP-accumulators of the company equip electric cars Tesla, Peugeot, Honda, BMW, Volvo, Hyundai and others. The next line is occupied by LG Energy with the indicator of 21.5%. The South Korean company manufactures products from Jaguar, Audi, Ford and General Motors. The third place is occupied by the Japanese company Panasonic with a result of 14.7%. All three companies hold over 70% of the market. It is curious that the entire top ten is occupied by brands based in the Asian region and with factories in China, Japan and South Korea.
Tesla founder Elon Musk, who recently regained leadership in the list of the richest people in the world according to Forbes, noted that batteries will soon replace traditional fuel as a source of power for vehicles. In addition, he was concerned that now in the PRC, the authorities are restricting energy supplies for enterprises supplying electronic components for leading brands.
Also yesterday it became known about the plans of Ford in partnership with the energy conglomerate SK innovation to invest about $ 11.4 billion in the enterprises for the production of electric cars and batteries for them.

This is a serious concern.
