China is rapidly advancing its position in the global race for solid-state batteries—the next frontier in electric vehicle and energy storage technology. With semi-solid-state batteries entering mass production in 2025, Chinese companies like BYD and SVOLT are already supplying high-energy-density cells to premium EV brands in Europe.
Industry data shows China’s sodium-ion battery output surged from 1.2 million units in 2019 to over 31 million in 2024—a 25-fold increase—highlighting the nation’s aggressive push toward diversified, safer, and higher-performance battery solutions.
Experts note that while full solid-state commercialization remains a few years away, hybrid (semi-solid) designs are bridging the gap today. Innovations in composite electrolytes, ultra-thin separators, and AI-enabled safety monitoring are accelerating industrial readiness.
Backed by strong material science capabilities, integrated supply chains, and government support under the upcoming “15th Five-Year Plan,” China aims not just to produce more batteries—but better ones—positioning itself as a global leader in the post-lithium era.
