The Polish Alternative Fuels Association, of which we are a member, has published a report “Europe drives on Polish lithium-ion batteries. The potential of the battery sector in Poland and the CEE region”.
According to the data collected, sales of electric cars reached as many as 10.5 million units in 2022. This allowed to record an increase of 55% over the previous year. According to BNEF forecasts, global lithium-ion battery production capacity will increase as much as eightfold by 2027, reaching 8945 GWh.
The market is undoubtedly gaining momentum, and with it, Europe's role in the sector is becoming increasingly important. Poland and Hungary are emerging as leaders, already accounting for 9% of global production.
– A report by the Polish Alternative Fuels Association clearly indicates that our country already holds a significant position in the market. Lithium-ion batteries account for as much as 2.4% of Polish exports, and Poland ranks second in the world in terms of battery production. We are pleased to see such a buoyant development of this sector: over the past 6 years its value has increased from PLN 1 to 38 billion. We know that there is still much to be achieved in this field,” – says Zhang Xiaomeng, Assistant to the Board of Directors.
