Permalink | Email this | CommentsCATL's battery installed base grew 59.6 percent year-on-year in January-May, while BYD's grew 107.8 percent year-on-year, according to SNE Research.
China's CATL and BYD (OTCMKTS: BYDDY) continued to dominate the global power battery market in the January-May period, the latest figures show.
From January to May, total global battery consumption for electric vehicles (EVs) was 237.6 GWh, up 52.3 percent from 156.0 GWh in the same period last year, according to data released today by South Korean market research firm SNE Research.
CATL installed 86.2 GWh of batteries in January-May, up 59.6 percent from 54.0 GWh in the same period last year.
The Chinese power battery giant continues to rank first in the world with a 36.3 percent share and remains the only battery supplier in the world with a market share of more than 30 percent.
This is up from its 34.6 percent share in the same period last year and up from its 35.9 percent share in the January-April period.
CATL's batteries are installed in many major passenger EV models in China's domestic market, such as the Tesla Model 3, Model Y, SAIC Mulan, GAC Aion Y, and Nio ET5, as well as Chinese commercial vehicle models, and continue to grow steadily, SNE Research said.
BYD installed 38.1 GWh of power batteries from January to May, up 107.8 percent from 18.4 GWh in the same period last year.
The company ranked second with a 16.1 percent share from January to May, up from 11.8 percent in the same period last year and unchanged compared to January-April.
BYD has gained popularity in China's domestic market with its competitive pricing by establishing a vertically integrated supply chain management, including battery self-sufficiency and vehicle manufacturing, SNE Research said.
With the launch of the Atto 3 model, BYD showed explosive growth by expanding its market share outside of China in Asia and Europe, SNE Research said.
LG Energy Solution installed 33.0 GWh of power batteries from January to May, up 56.0 percent year-on-year.
The South Korean company ranked third in the world with a 13.9 percent share, slightly up from 13.6 percent a year ago and down from 14.1 percent in the January-April period.
Panasonic of Japan ranked fourth with an 8.0 percent share, SK On of South Korea ranked fifth with 5.2 percent share and CALB of China ranked sixth with a 4.3 percent share.
Samsung SDI of South Korea, China's Gotion High-tech, Eve Energy, and Sunwoda ranked seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth respectively, with 4.2 percent, 2.2 percent, 2.2 percent, and 1.6 percent shares in January-May.
It is worth noting that CALB's power battery installed base of 10.2 GWh continued to be higher than Samsung SDI's 9.9 GWh in January-May.
From January to March, CALB's 5.7 GWh was lower than Samsung SDI's 6.5 GWh. From January to April, CALB's 8.4 GWh exceeded Samsung SDI's 7.5 GWh.
In 2023, Chinese companies are expected to push into overseas markets such as Europe, preparing for a gradual decline in growth in China's domestic market, SNE Research said.
Europe is the largest EV market after China and is aggressively implementing environmental policies, so it is highly likely to be the biggest battleground in the future, according to SNE Research.
In the future, the proportion of LFP batteries in Europe is expected to increase as Chinese companies enter the European market in earnest, the report said.

At present, 89 percent of the new energy heavy trucks are pure electric models, and half of them support battery swap.

China's electrification transition involves not only regular passenger cars, but heavy trucks as well.
By 2025, sales of electric heavy trucks in China are expected to reach 190,000 units, with a penetration rate of about 16 percent, said CITIC Securities analyst Yuan Jiancong's team in a research note today.
In China, the singularity for accelerated penetration of electric heavy trucks has arrived, with penetration expected to reach 35 percent by 2030, the team said.
The acceleration of new energy heavy truck penetration in China from 2021 onward was largely driven by China's restrictions on carbon emissions from high-emitting companies, according to the team.
In 2022, retail sales of new energy heavy trucks in China were 25,000 units, up 142 percent year-on-year, with a penetration rate of about 5 percent, CITIC Securities said, citing data from China Automotive Technology and Research Center (CATARC).
At present, 89 percent of new energy heavy trucks are pure electric models, and half of them support battery swap, according to the team.
Heavy-duty trucks have larger batteries and take longer to recharge at the same charging rate, and battery swap meets the efficiency requirements of these models, the team said.
From 2021 to 2022, the percentage of battery swap-enabled heavy-duty trucks ramped up, the team said, adding that they expect such electric heavy-duty trucks to become the industry's dominant product form in the near term.
On June 12, CATL unveiled Qiji Energy, a battery swap solution for heavy-duty trucks. Similar to the Chinese power battery giant's EVOGO solution for passenger cars released last year, Qiji Energy supports flexible use of the number of batteries.
With a capacity of 171 kWh in a single battery block, heavy trucks can choose to use 1-3 blocks, and the entire battery replacement process takes only a few minutes, CATL said.
In the vehicle-battery separation model, a heavy truck can save RMB 30,000 ($4,190) to RMB 60,000 in annual costs, CATL said.
CATL's move is expected to further boost the electrification of heavy trucks, CITIC Securities said in the research note today.
The penetration of electric heavy trucks is expected to accelerate in areas with higher requirements for range and economy, the team said.
The note also said that Tesla's first electric heavy truck, the Semi, which began deliveries on December 2, 2022, has a range of 800 km at 37 tons fully loaded and has met the criteria for wide-scale commercial operation.
Electric heavy-duty trucks have shown good economic performance in both the US and China, and the Tesla Semi could help the industry grow more rapidly in the US, the team said.
In China, electric heavy-duty trucks will be adopted preferentially in the short term in scenarios including coal industrial parks, steel industrial parks, and sanitation trucks, driven by policy.
By 2025-2030, market forces will drive more growth in the sector as electric heavy trucks improve in economy and range, according to the team.
