Oversupply left its mark last year when lithium prices in China nearly halved, a problem compounded by the government''s removal of some subsidies on EVs, which slowed sales.
China issued draft rules on Wednesday to regulate its lithium battery market, after rapid expansion in the sector hit industry profits and sparked concerns about overcapacity in international market.
In 2022, China held a staggering 75 percent of global battery manufacturing capacity. Notably, Chinese company Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. (CATL), the world's largest battery manufacturer, alone commanded a substantial 35 percent share of the global lithium-ion battery market during the first quarter of 2022.
Indeed, the average global per-kilogram export price of China's lithium-ion batteries fell from $32.9 in 2020 to $20.1 in 2024. Remarkably, Chinese per-kilogram battery export prices to the United States are the lowest in the world—only continental Latin America even comes close. Tariffs don't seem to be playing a major role.
Chinese investments in lithium-rich countries like the "Lithium Triangle" (Argentina, Chile, and Bolivia) will allow it to further vertically integrate the supply chain for lithium-ion batteries. The Chinese government is aggressively pursuing the acquisition of materials crucial for the global green energy transition.
But storage batteries—which are China's primary Li-ion shipment to the United States—are not subject to the higher rate until 2026; they currently face an effective tariff rate of only 10.9 percent. Importantly, China's per-kilogram battery export prices vary depending on the type of batteries supplied to different markets.
As measured in weight, Chinese Li-ion battery exports are rising. Chinese trade data shows that battery exports by weight have increased year-over-year, while their export value has declined. In 2024, the United States imported 923,000 tons, slightly less than the EU's 938,000 tons.
