Not Just Cars, China's Battery Industry Also Moncer to Soar 52 Percent

JAKARTA - In addition to China's electric car market getting bigger, it turns out that it also has an impact on the battery industry which again recorded impressive performance. Throughout November 2025, the national battery sales volume jumped significantly.

This is in line with production expansion and increased installations in various segments. The data was released by the China Automotive Power Battery Industry Innovation Alliance and reported by IT-home, as reported by Carnewschina, Saturday, December 13, 2025.

In the monthly report, it was stated that the combined sales of power batteries and other batteries in November 2025 reached 179.4 Gigawatt hours (GWh). This figure increased by 8.1 percent compared to October 2025, and jumped 52.2 percent year on year (year on year).

Of the total, the power battery accounted for the largest share with sales of 134.0 GWh or 74.7 percent of the total. Sales of power batteries grew 7.8 percent on a monthly basis and 52.7 percent on an annual basis.

Meanwhile, other battery categories recorded sales of 45.4 GWh, an increase of 8.9 percent compared to the previous month and 50.7 percent compared to the same period last year.

Cumulatively, from January to November 2025, sales of power batteries and other batteries in China reached 1,412.5 GWh, up 54.7 percent compared to the same period last year.

Battery power dominates with a total of 1,044.3 GWh (73.9 percent), growing 50.3 percent year-on-year. Other batteries recorded cumulative sales of 368.2 GWh or 26.1 percent of the total, with the most aggressive growth reaching 68.9 percent.

The export performance is also no less solid. In November 2025, the combined export of power batteries and other batteries reached 32.2 GWh, up 14.1 percent month-on-month and 46.5 percent year-on-year. This value is equivalent to 17.9 percent of total monthly sales.

Power battery exports were recorded at 21.2 GWh or 66.0 percent of total exports, an increase of 9.4 percent from the previous month and a jump of 70.2 percent year-on-year. Meanwhile, other battery exports reached 10.9 GWh, up 24.4 percent on a monthly basis and 15.3 percent on an annual basis.

For the period January-November 2025, China's total battery exports reached 260.3 GWh, up 44.2 percent from the previous year. Power batteries contributed 169.8 GWh (65.2 percent), up 40.6 percent, while other batteries contributed 90.5 GWh (34.8 percent) with growth of 51.4 percent.

In terms of installation, the installation of domestic power batteries in November 2025 reached 93.5 GWh, an increase of 11.2 percent compared to October 2025 and 39.2 percent year-on-year. The installation of ternary batteries was recorded at 18.2 GWh, while lithium iron phosphate (LFP) dominated with 75.3 GWh.

Cumulatively, the power battery installation in the first 11 months of this year reached 671.5 GWh. In the map of industry competition, Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL), BYD, and CALB led the combined battery sales in November 2025.

For the power battery category, the top positions are occupied by CATL, BYD, and Gotion High-Tech, confirming the dominance of major players in the Chinese battery ecosystem.
