The Japanese Panasonic, and the Korean SK On and Samsung SDI also grew in 2022, but at a much slower pace.

The main reason for CATL's success throughout 2022 was the success of Tesla's Model 3, Model Y, GAC's Aion Y and the Zeekr 001. BYD, on the other hand, rides on the success of domestic BEVs and PHEVs.

Farasis Energy, which is a new entry at the top, grew a whopping 215.1% as Mercedes' main battery supplier for its EQ models.
