China’s Battery Industry: Geographical Evolution & Strategic Shift
YANGTZE RIVER DELTA The Innovation & High-End Engine YANGTZE RIVER DELTA
From 2020 to 2025, China's battery industry shifted from coastal concentration to a balanced national layout. The Yangtze and Pearl River Deltas remain innovation hubs, while the Central and Southwest regions emerged as growth leaders leveraging mineral wealth and green energy. By 2025, effective capacity reached 1.7 TWh, driven by LFP dominance and vertical integration. Supported by "Double Carbon" policies, the industry now moves high-energy production West while maintaining R&D in the East, providing a blueprint for global expansion by leaders like CATL and BYD. CENTRAL CHINA CLUSTER Resource-to-Industry Bridge
