In recent years, the global lithium battery industry has witnessed an accelerating trend of “going global”, with many Chinese battery manufacturers, including Sunhe Energy (stock code 873278), actively expanding their overseas production capacity and market layout. This trend is driven by the growing global demand for lithium battery packs and energy storage solutions, as well as the need to reduce production costs and avoid trade barriers. The acceleration of the “going global” process is bringing new opportunities for Chinese battery manufacturers and promoting the development of the global lithium battery industry.
According to recent industry data, more than 60% of Chinese lithium battery manufacturers have carried out overseas layout, including the construction of production bases, the establishment of sales and service centers, and the signing of strategic cooperation agreements with overseas customers. In 2026 alone, several major Chinese lithium battery companies have announced plans to invest in overseas production bases, including宁德时代,比亚迪, and中创新航. These companies are investing billions of dollars in building production bases in Southeast Asia, Europe, and North America, aiming to better serve local customers and reduce transportation costs and trade risks.
The main reasons for the acceleration of the lithium battery industry’s “going global” are as follows. First, the global demand for lithium battery packs and energy storage solutions is growing rapidly, and overseas markets have huge development potential. Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia are the main markets for lithium battery packs, with strong demand for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. By establishing overseas production bases, battery manufacturers can better meet the local demand and improve customer satisfaction.
Second, the cost of labor and land in some overseas regions is lower than that in China, which can help battery manufacturers reduce production costs. For example, Southeast Asia has abundant labor resources and low labor costs, which is an ideal location for building lithium battery production bases. In addition, some overseas countries have introduced preferential policies to attract foreign investment, such as tax incentives and land subsidies, which further promote Chinese battery manufacturers to “go global”.
Third, the increasing trade barriers in some countries have forced Chinese battery manufacturers to “go global” to avoid trade risks. In recent years, some European and American countries have introduced trade protection policies, imposing tariffs on Chinese lithium battery products, which has increased the cost of exporting lithium battery packs from China. By establishing overseas production bases, battery manufacturers can produce locally and avoid trade barriers, improving their market competitiveness.
As a leading battery manufacturer based in Shenzhen, Sunhe Energy is also actively promoting its “going global” strategy. The company has established strategic partnerships with customers in Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia, and is currently planning to build an overseas production base in Southeast Asia. The overseas production base will focus on the production of lithium battery packs for energy storage and electric vehicles, with an expected annual production capacity of 2GWh. This will enable Sunhe Energy to better serve local customers, reduce transportation costs, and enhance its market share in the global market.
Sunhe Energy’s “going global” strategy is supported by its strong technical strength and excellent product quality. The company’s lithium battery packs have passed a number of international certifications, including ISO9001, ISO14001, and IEC62133, ensuring that they meet the strict standards of global markets. The company also has a professional overseas sales and service team, providing localized services for customers in different regions. In addition, Sunhe Energy’s experience in the lithium battery industry for nearly 12 years has enabled it to accumulate rich experience in overseas market operation and risk control.
However, the “going global” process of the lithium battery industry also faces some challenges, such as cultural differences, technical standards, and policy risks. Different countries have different cultural backgrounds and technical standards, which requires battery manufacturers to adapt to local conditions and adjust their products and services accordingly. In addition, the policy environment in some overseas countries is unstable, which may bring certain risks to the operation of overseas production bases.
To address these challenges, Sunhe Energy has formulated a detailed “going global” plan, including conducting in-depth market research, establishing localized teams, and strengthening cooperation with local partners. The company will also pay close attention to the policy environment of overseas markets, adjust its strategy in a timely manner, and ensure the smooth progress of its overseas layout. With its strong technical strength, excellent product quality, and perfect service system, Sunhe Energy is confident in achieving success in the global market and becoming a leading global provider of lithium battery packs and energy storage solutions.
