Energy Storage and European Growth Propel CATL Battery Sales
CATL battery sales reached 120 GWh in Q1 2025, marking a 30pc increase from the same period last year. The company attributed the surge to expanding demand in energy storage markets in the Middle East and Australia.
Roughly 20pc of Q1 sales supported energy storage projects, highlighting CATL’s strategic diversification beyond electric vehicles. The firm also noted that its production capacity remains fully utilized, driven by global demand momentum.
CATL Strengthens Position in Europe, Navigates US Tariffs
CATL’s European battery market share climbed to 38pc in 2024, up from 17pc in 2021.
Its German plant turned profitable, reinforcing CATL’s foothold in the region amid favorable regulatory and demand conditions.
Meanwhile, US market exposure remains limited, and CATL has implemented contingency plans to counteract trade policy risks. The company is also negotiating with customers to mitigate the effects of tariff uncertainty on business continuity.
Financials Reflect Strong Q1 Momentum
CATL posted a net income of 14bn yuan ($1.92bn) for Q1 2025, up 33pc year-on-year, bolstered by geographic and sectoral diversification. This performance underscores CATL’s operational agility in a fragmented and politically sensitive global battery market.
