According to the IEA, China accounted for just over half of global EV sales in 2023, well ahead of Europe at a little over 20% and the US at 9%. That market share lead is expected to fall slightly in the coming years but still remain strong, with the IEA forecasting that China will command around 40% of global EV sales by 2030.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the energy sector accounts for more than 90% of lithium battery demand and battery storage for the power sector was the world''s fastest-growing commercially available energy technology in 2023.. Despite this clear dominance, driven in part by continued price declines of Li-ion batteries and
UAE-based renewable energy company Masdar has expanded the scale of an agreement with the government of Uzbekistan to develop battery energy storage systems (BESS).
