Market attention has been drawn to the latest data from the 2026 China Cylindrical Battery Industry White Paper released by Start-Point Lithium Battery. The report reveals that global cylindrical battery shipments surged to 285 GWh in 2025, reflecting a robust year-on-year growth of 29.5%. China accounted for nearly half of this total, with domestic shipments reaching 137.6 GWh. Against this backdrop of high industry prosperity, BAK Batteries, a veteran player in China's lithium battery sector, demonstrated its supply chain strength by securing positions on three significant shipment rankings released concurrently.

In terms of overall market share, BAK ranked 7th in the "2025 China Cylindrical Battery Total Shipment Ranking (by GWh)" and 5th by unit count. These results highlight the company's economies of scale in producing high-energy-density and high-consistency cells. Within specific segments, BAK maintained a solid 5th place ranking in small cylindrical battery shipments, further reinforcing its supply dominance in niche markets such as power tools and smart home devices. Additionally, BAK was listed 9th in the "2025 China 46-Series Cylindrical Cell Shipment TOP10," with its production ramp-up pace positioned among the industry leaders.

The White Paper notes that as all-tab technology matures and manufacturing processes evolve, cylindrical batteries are rapidly penetrating the power battery and energy storage sectors beyond traditional 3C digital applications. As one of the earliest enterprises in China to establish a comprehensive all-tab cylindrical matrix, BAK Batteries has cultivated a balanced business structure characterized by "stable volume from small cylinders and incremental profit from large cylinders." Heading into the next expansion phase of the global new energy market in 2026, BAK's mature mass production capabilities and superior yield rate management will serve as its core competitive moat.
