Top 10 Global Energy Storage Battery Cell Suppliers in Q1 2025: EVE Secures Second Place!
On May 20, 2025, InfoLink Consulting released its highly anticipated Global Energy Storage Battery Cell Shipment Rankings for Q1 2025. Despite the seasonal dip, the energy storage market continued to outperform expectations. Global battery cell shipments for energy storage reached 99.58 GWh, marking an impressive 150.62% year-over-year increase, though showing a 7.75% quarter-over-quarter decline due to policy-driven frontloading in the U.S. and China.
Top 10 Global Energy Storage Cell Manufacturers in Q1 2025
The top 10 suppliers by shipment volume were:
CATL (Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd.)
EVE Energy
CALB (China Aviation Lithium Battery)
Hithium (HiTHIUM Energy Storage)
BYD
REPT Battero
Gotion High-Tech
Envision AESC
Phylion Battery
Samsung SDI
These Top 10 (CR10) players accounted for 90.1% of total global shipments, reaffirming the highly concentrated structure of the market.
Among them, EVE Energy ranked No. 2, with significant shipment volume across both utility-scale (large-scale) and residential/commercial storage sectors. EVE’s aggressive deployment strategy, coupled with strong demand from overseas and domestic integrators, contributed to its remarkable performance.
Utility-Scale (Large) Energy Storage Market Highlights
In Q1 2025, global large-scale energy storage battery shipments reached 92.85 GWh, up 160.08% YoY. The Top 5 utility-scale suppliers remained the same for the third consecutive quarter:
CATL
EVE Energy
CALB
Hithium
BYD
Notably, the gap between the second to fifth-ranked companies narrowed to less than 3%, indicating fierce competition in the utility storage segment. Moreover, 300Ah+ cells accounted for nearly 65% of utility storage shipments this quarter, further consolidating their mainstream status.
Residential and Commercial Storage Market Insights
The small-scale energy storage battery market reached 6.73 GWh, up 66.83% YoY. The Top 5 players were:
EVE Energy
REPT Battero
Phylion Battery
Sunwoda Energy
Gotion High-Tech
The segment saw a clear shift from a “duopoly” of EVE and REPT to a “tripartite” competition, as Phylion closed the gap rapidly with comparable product lines and expanded customer bases.
Market Trends and Outlook: Full Speed Toward Marketization
In the policy landscape, China’s “Document 394”, jointly issued by the NDRC and NEA in April, mandates full coverage of electricity spot markets by the end of 2025 and encourages flexible energy systems like energy storage to become independent market entities. This transition marks a significant evolution from policy-driven growth to market-oriented deployment.
Short-term, a “rush-to-install” wave driven by U.S. tariff preemptions and China’s “0530” node is likely to peak around late May to June 2025, with demand stabilizing afterward.
