Poland ranks 5th in the world in the ranking of suppliers of lithium-ion cells and building element components [Bloomberg NEF]

Bloomberg New Energy Finance has ranked countries in the lithium-ion battery supply chain. In the segment of cells and their components (cathodes, anodes, electrolytes, etc.), we were the fifth in the world after the absolute world leaders.

Poland is an economic power when it comes to connections and their building material.

According to a Bloomberg study, now, in 2020, we are ahead of the production of cells and the lithium-ion cells themselves Germany, Hungary or Great Britain, because only real tycoons are ahead: 1 / China, 2 / Japan, 2 / South Korea and 4 / USA.

In 2025, Poland's position will not change, we will continue to be in the TOP5.

When it comes to mining lithium-ion battery raw materials, the top five are 1 / China, 2 / Australia, 3 / Brazil, 4 / Canada, 5 / South Africa. In this rating, European countries are rather weak, Poland took 22nd place.

TOP5 looks interesting in the field of infrastructure development, innovation and legal compliance: 1 / Sweden, 2 / Germany, 3 / Finland, 4 / Great Britain, 5 / South Korea. It looks like it The European Union has significantly accelerated its legislationbecause his countries (now or in the past) are intertwined with leaders from the Far East (source).

On the demand side, 1 / China is the world's # 1 consumer. The following: 2 / South Korea, 2 / Germany, 2 / USA, 5 / France. Poland ranks 14th. We add that the “demand” was the demand generated by transport and energy storage.

China leads almost all the rankings thanks to strong domestic demand and control of 80 percent of the world's mining and processing companies.

The European Union, on the other hand, has embarked on a chase for leaders.... We have a large automotive industry that is capable of developing a large number of cells. We are open to innovation. Our mining operations are not very well controlled, and we just build factories for the production of batteries, often for foreign capital:
