Solid and semi-solid batteries: China accelerates, CATL dominates the market

The issue is marked by the Chinese acceleration of solid and semi-solid batteries, with announcements from manufacturers and CATL on pilot or small-scale production. This dynamic applies to the entire market, where the solid-state battery is presented as the next technological step for electric vehicles and where CATL is strengthening its global dominance. Chinese manufacturers are developing their own batteries in parallel while remaining dependent on CATL, and several are launching pilot production validations with divergent strategies. China concentrates most of the announcements, South Korea stands out for the decline in the combined share of its three manufacturers, while Italy and Brazil are among the countries covering the issue.
