The global lithium-ion battery market continues to expand rapidly in 2025, with China, the United States, and Singapore emerging as the world’s top three exporters. China leads with an export value of $581.3 million, strengthened by its massive manufacturing capacity and dominance in the battery supply chain. The U.S. follows closely at $575.1 million, driven by its growing electric vehicle industry and renewed investments in domestic battery production.
Singapore, in third place with $282.8 million, stands out as a key Asian hub for high-tech manufacturing and re-export activities.Beyond the top three, leading European economies such as Germany, France, and the Netherlands also secure strong positions, reflecting their expanding role in supplying energy-storage technologies. Japan and South Korea—longtime leaders in battery innovation—remain within the top ten as they adapt to rising regional competition.
Meanwhile, Hong Kong functions as a strategic re-export gateway, maintaining a solid spot with $206.3 million in trade value.Notably, Southeast Asia plays a growing role in the global lithium-ion battery landscape, with Singapore and Indonesia prominently featured. Indonesia, ranked 5th with $208.7 million, benefits from its abundant nickel resources—an essential battery component—and its push to become a major EV battery hub.
Singapore, already among the global top three, continues to strengthen its position as Southeast Asia’s technological and logistics powerhouse. Together, these countries highlight the region’s increasing importance in the world’s clean-energy transition and the evolving global supply chain.
