Assessment of Strategy and Execution for 11 Lithium Ion Battery Manufacturers

Lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries have won the race to be the chemistry of choice for electric vehicle traction power. They offer the best combination of safety, power, energy duration, durability, and cost. Although the majority of automobiles with traction batteries on the road have nickel metal hydride (NiMH) cells, most new production vehicles will be shipped with Li-ion batteries in the coming years. Navigant Research expects the industry to produce 49 GWh of battery capacity for vehicles in 2020, a more than tenfold increase over 2013 production numbers.

However, the vendor landscape within the Li-ion industry is still unsettled. Some companies have built out their manufacturing capacity, yet have failed to garner large automotive contracts. Others have been more patient in constructing factories but are ready to make major strategic moves in that direction. Manufacturers that are able to reduce costs significantly while ensuring that safety and reliability standards are met will successfully tap into the world's growing need for electric drivetrains. Most market players are jockeying for position in that future reality while trying to remain solvent today.

This Navigant Research Leaderboard Report examines the strategy and execution of 11 Li-ion battery vendors that are active in the electric vehicle market and rates them on 13 criteria, including systems integration, safety engineering, chemistry performance, geographic reach, manufacturing and product performance, pricing, and overall corporate financial health. Using Navigant Research's proprietary Leaderboard methodology, vendors are profiled, rated, and ranked with the goal of providing industry participants with an objective assessment of these companies' relative strengths and weaknesses in the global electric vehicle battery market.
