Chinese Battery Makers Reach 70.4% of Global EV Battery Capacity

The source says China-based producers now hold a record share of global electric-vehicle battery installed capacity, up 20 percentage points over four years, while South Korean producers have lost ground.

Fact Check
The core numeric claim is consistently supported by three fetched articles: 'China’s EV battery makers widen lead to over 70% global share', 'China's EV battery makers widen lead to over 70% global share', and 'Chinese companies account for 70% of the global EV battery market share.' These sources all cite SNE Research and agree that Chinese producers reached 70.4% of global EV battery installed capacity in 2025. They also support the directional comparison over four years: Nikkei/36Kr say the share was less than or nearly 50% in 2021, implying an increase of roughly 20 percentage points, and they say South Korean producers' share fell to 15.3% from over 30% in 2021. The exact wording 'record share' is plausible from the trend described, though the underlying primary SNE Research page was not directly fetched here.
