CATL

Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) was established in 2011 by the founding team behind Amperex Technology Limited, a lithium-ion battery company focused on consumer electronics. [1] CATL’s stated mission is to provide technology, products and services for global new-energy applications and to help build a zero-carbon energy ecosystem. [1] Its development has taken battery expertise from portable electronics into passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, stationary storage and newer applications such as vessels and aircraft. [1]

CATL’s product and solution portfolio includes EV battery systems, commercial-vehicle batteries, electrochemical energy-storage systems, battery swapping and battery-recycling services. [2] Its 2025 annual report describes representative products such as Qilin, Shenxing, Freevoy, Tectrans, TENER and Naxtra, and says these products serve both front-of-the-meter and behind-the-meter storage as well as passenger and commercial vehicles. [2]

In its 2025 results announcement, CATL reported RMB423.7 billion in revenue, RMB72.2 billion in net profit attributable to shareholders, 661 GWh of lithium-battery sales and RMB22.1 billion of research-and-development investment. [3] The same announcement, citing SNE Research, reported a 39.2% global power-battery share and first place in global energy-storage battery shipments for the fifth consecutive year; these are company-reported or cited market figures, not an independent assessment in this profile. [3]

CATL also treats materials recovery as part of its battery business. [4] Through its subsidiary Brunp Recycling, it describes a closed loop from battery production and use through recycling, remanufacturing and resource regeneration; as of December 31, 2024, CATL reported more than 240 waste-battery collection depots, 270,000 tonnes of disposal capacity and a 99.6% recovery rate for nickel, cobalt and manganese.
