The Polish Association of Alternative Fuels, of which we are a member, has published a report titled Europe runs on Polish lithium-ion batteries: The potential of the battery sector in Poland and the CEE Region.

According to the gathered data, electric car sales reached a remarkable 10.5 million units in 2022, marking a 55% increase compared to the previous year. BNEF forecasts indicate that global lithium-ion battery production capacity will increase eightfold by 2027, reaching 8,945 GWh.

Undoubtedly, the market is gaining momentum, and Europe’s role in this sector is growing. Poland and Hungary are emerging as leaders, already accounting for 9% of global production.

– The report by the Polish Association of Alternative Fuels clearly indicates that our country already holds a significant position in the market. Lithium-ion batteries constitute 2.4% of Polish exports, and Poland ranks second globally in battery production. We are pleased with the dynamic development of this sector: its value has grown from 1 to 38 billion PLN over the past 6 years. We know that there is still much to achieve in this field –  says Zhang Xiaomeng, Management Board Assistant.
