China’s Power Battery Exports Jump 40% as Global Demand Grows

Chinese power battery companies have reported strong performance in overseas markets. According to new data from China Customs, lithium battery exports in July 2025 surged nearly 40% year-on-year, with Europe emerging as the strongest growth market. The push for green energy transition and the rapid expansion of EVs and energy storage projects are fueling import demand.

Within the export structure, lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries accounted for a larger share, with their safety and cost-performance advantages drawing overseas buyers’ attention. Industry analysts highlight that China’s advantages in technology maturity, large-scale production, and supply chain integration are key drivers behind the sustained export growth.

Looking ahead, as Europe and the U.S. tighten supply chain security policies, Chinese battery manufacturers are expected to accelerate overseas factory construction to mitigate potential trade barriers.
