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:

1. CATL (Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd.)

2. EVE Energy

3. CALB (China Aviation Lithium Battery)

4. Hithium (HiTHIUM Energy Storage)

5. BYD

6. REPT Battero

7. Gotion High-Tech

8. Envision AESC

9. Phylion Battery

10. 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:

1. CATL

2. EVE Energy

3. CALB

4. Hithium

5. 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:

1. EVE Energy

2. REPT Battero

3. Phylion Battery

4. Sunwoda Energy

5. 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.
