Less than a decade ago, South Korean companies held over half of the global energy storage system (ESS) market with the rushed promise of helping secure a more sustainable energy future. However, a string of ESS-related fires and a lack of infrastructure had dampened investments in this market.
South Korea's top battery manufacturers—LG Energy Solution, Samsung SDI and SK On—are accelerating efforts to mass-produce lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries for energy storage systems (ESS) amid ongoing weakness in electric vehicle demand.
Last Updated on February 21, 2025 South Korea is a global leader in lithium-ion batteries, supplying EVs, electronics, and energy storage systems. Giants like LG Energy Solution, Samsung SDI, and SK On dominate the industry, while Ohsung Co., Ltd. and others contribute to innovation.
But South Korea's battery industry faces mounting pressure from China, whose manufacturers, led by CATL, currently account for nearly 90 percent of global energy storage battery capacity. CATL expanded its footprint in January by establishing a South Korean subsidiary, signaling an aggressive push into the local market.
