Get a quoteChinese export destinations for lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are highly diversified, as the chart below shows. Significantly, Chinese Li-ion battery exports to the United States have risen sharply in recent months, reaching an all-time high of $1.9 billion in December 2024.
As measured in weight, Chinese Li-ion battery exports are rising. Chinese trade data shows that battery exports by weight have increased year-over-year, while their export value has declined. In 2024, the United States imported 923,000 tons, slightly less than the EU’s 938,000 tons.
Leading energy storage battery companies in China include BYD (002594.SZ), which is also the country's biggest electric vehicle maker, and CATL (300750.SZ).
In contrast, the United States’ more transparent data on Li-ion battery imports does distinguish between these categories, with most imports consisting of heavier battery energy storage systems. Significantly, per-kilogram battery costs are lower for battery energy storage systems than batteries for EVs.
Strikingly, the per-kilogram prices of Chinese lithium-ion batteries exported to the United States are lower than the same product sold to any other market.
Significantly, per-kilogram battery costs are lower for battery energy storage systems than batteries for EVs. US BESS per-kilogram costs averaged $19.7 through the first eleven months of the year, while batteries for EVs averaged $28.8, according to US trade data.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 350% in the past three years. Energy storage cabinets and lithium battery solutions now account for approximately 40% of all new commercial energy installations worldwide. North America leads with a 38% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 25-30%. Europe follows with a 32% market share, where standardized energy storage cabinet designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at a 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting commercial energy storage for peak shaving and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Modern industrial installations now feature integrated systems with 50kWh to multi-megawatt capacity at costs below $450/kWh for complete energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving energy storage cabinet and lithium battery performance while reducing costs for commercial applications. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 45% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 18+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $900/kW to $500/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow industrial systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing business savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for commercial storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $400/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have significantly improved ROI, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-6 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (50-100kWh) starting at $22,000 and premium systems (200-500kWh) from $90,000, with flexible financing options available for businesses.
