Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL) is the world's largest battery cell manufacturer, holding around 39% global market share in 2025. The company operates a vertically integrated model spanning mining, processing, R&D and production. It is a key supplier to the electric vehicle industry, serving nine of the world's top 10 manufacturers, and is a leader in lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, which are gaining market share due to their lower cost and stronger safety profile.
