CATL dominates global battery markets in first half of 2026

CATL has secured the top global market positions in both the power battery and energy storage sectors for the first half of 2026, according to data from SNE Research.

In the power battery segment, CATL's market share reached 39.9%, meaning approximately four out of every ten new energy vehicles globally are equipped with its batteries. This marks the company's ninth consecutive year holding the number one position in this category. Its success is attributed to a broad product matrix—including lithium iron phosphate and ternary lithium solutions—that serves various vehicle types from budget models to high-end performance EVs.

In the energy storage sector, CATL captured a 27.1% global market share. The company's growth in this area is driven by increasing demand for wind and solar energy storage, as well as expanding orders for residential and utility-scale energy storage projects worldwide.
