According to data from the Industry Research Center of the Guangdong Battery Industry Association, a survey of the top 20 battery manufacturers shows that by February 2026, the global energy storage cell market CR3 and CR5 will be 45.3% and 60.1%, respectively. The top three companies by shipment volume are CATL, EVE Energy, and Hubei Chuen, with market shares of 26.6%, 10.1%, and 8.7%.

In February 2026, due to the Spring Festival holiday, some companies experienced seasonal production declines in the global energy storage cell market. However, overall, the market remains highly active, with leading energy storage cell manufacturers maintaining strong order reserves and capacity utilization rates staying within a reasonable range.

Looking at the competition among the top five companies, CATL’s large-capacity 587Ah cells are being delivered steadily for major North American projects. Meanwhile, the company is deepening cooperation on shared domestic energy storage projects, supported by strong order backing and maintaining a leading market share.

EVE Energy continues to increase orders for commercial and industrial energy storage, with its 628Ah large batteries steadily penetrating the European residential storage market. Overseas delivery schedules are stable, and capacity utilization remains high.

Hubei Chuen’s new production lines are progressing smoothly, with faster delivery for domestic large-scale projects. The company is also entering the implementation phase of strategic cooperation projects with Egypt’s WeaCan and Kemet Industries Group, totaling 6 GWh, marking significant progress in North African market expansion.

Haichen Energy Storage has seen significant growth in overseas commercial and industrial energy storage orders. The iteration of long-duration storage technology is accelerating, and the “Lighthouse Factory” effect continues to be felt, highlighting cost and efficiency advantages.

CINNO Power’s European energy storage projects are progressing steadily. The Zigong-based production capacity is ramping up smoothly, domestic shared energy storage project deliveries are well secured, and global expansion efforts are accelerating.

Looking ahead, although February’s production scheduling experienced seasonal fluctuations due to the Spring Festival, industry production is expected to gradually recover from March. Q1 global energy storage cell demand will remain strong. Most energy storage manufacturers have ample orders on hand, and the “peak season” phenomenon continues. Leading companies with global capacity layouts, cost control advantages, and technologies such as large cells and long-duration storage are expected to gain more market share, further increasing industry concentration.
