The energy storage industry is witnessing a remarkable turnaround, with factories operating at full capacity for over six months and order backlogs extending well into the fall.
The surge in large-scale energy storage projects marks a new era for Chinese manufacturers. In less than a week, the record for the world''s largest energy storage order has been broken twice.
The influx of overseas orders has led to a significant increase in order volumes for energy storage cell manufacturers, pushing them to operate at full capacity.
China''s energy storage companies are enjoying a power surge abroad. Since October they have signed overseas cooperation agreements for more than 50 gigawatt-hours (GWh), the equivalent of a quarter of China''s
In 2024, frequent policy shifts and record-breaking tenders have made expanding overseas a top priority for manufacturers. According to InfoLink''s statistics, non-China markets'' energy storage cell shipments reached 137.3 GWh, with the top five suppliers being CATL, BYD, EVE Energy, AESC, and REPT.
The storage world isn''t just growing – it''s evolving. While lithium-ion still rules the roost, newcomers like vanadium flow batteries are stealing scenes.
In the first half of 2025, the total global orders of Chinese energy storage companies exceeded 250GWh, of which overseas markets contributed nearly 125GWh (50%).
While excess production capacity and a shrinking overseas demand for energy storage pose challenges, 11 leading companies have defied the odds. In the first 11 months of this year, they secured overseas orders totaling nearly 250GWh. Some companies have consistently clinched substantial deals.
As the global energy transition accelerates, demand for energy storage continues to rise. In Q1 of 2025, Chinese energy storage companies signed a flurry of overseas procurement contracts, mainly with clients in mature power markets such as Australia, Europe, the Middle East, and North America.
In 2024, Chinese energy storage enterprises demonstrated robust competitiveness overseas. According to CNESA Datalink''s global energy storage database (incomplete statistics), overseas orders exceeded 150GWh, primarily from Americas, Europe,

In 2024, frequent policy shifts and record-breaking tenders have made expanding overseas a top priority for manufacturers. According to InfoLink’s statistics, non-China markets’ energy storage cell shipments reached 137.3 GWh, with the top five suppliers being CATL, BYD, EVE Energy, AESC, and REPT.
The top five companies in global energy storage cell shipments for 2024 were: CATL, EVE Energy, BYD, Hithium Energy Storage, and CALB. The top themes for the year were: stability, market shift, and key clients. Stability: With years of industry experience, CATL maintains a clear market advantage and firmly holds the top position in the industry.
According to InfoLink’s Global Energy Storage Supply Chain Database, global energy storage cell shipments totaled 314.7 GWh in 2024, up 60% YoY. The market showed a trend of early decline followed by a rebound, with 4Q24 shipments increasing 19.7% QoQ, reaching the annual peak for 2024.
In 2024, industry concentration remains high, with CR10 reaching 90.9%, roughly the same as in the first three quarters of the year. The top five companies in global energy storage cell shipments for 2024 were: CATL, EVE Energy, BYD, Hithium Energy Storage, and CALB. The top themes for the year were: stability, market shift, and key clients.
The top five manufacturers were CATL, EVE Energy, Hithium, BYD, and CALB. CR5 has surpassed 75%, signaling a highly concentrated market with limited growth opportunities for new entrants. According to InfoLink, 300Ah+ cells now account for nearly 50% of the global utility-scale energy storage market in a single quarter.
Its strategy of “positioning energy storage as the second growth engine” has yielded successful results. Since 1Q24, EVE Energy has consistently ranked second in the industry, with a significant competitive advantage.
