Which countries are accelerating efforts to localize lithium production?

For instance, while China leads in large-scale production, countries like India are accelerating efforts in local cell manufacturing, and South American nations like Chile, with their lithium reserves, are exploring partnerships to localize production and integrate renewable energy sources.

Are Chinese battery companies expanding their manufacturing in Europe?

Another trend is for Chinese battery companies, such as CATL, to establish and expand their manufacturing in other continents, particularly Europe. 43 Manz AG, GROB-WERKE GmbH & Co. KG, and Dürr Group have entered a strategic partnership to jointly acquire and execute projects for outfitting complete battery manufacturing plants.
