Disclaimer ## Competitive Landscape Global Battery Manufacturing Equipment Market Competition Landscape The competitive landscape for the battery manufacturing equipment market is shaped by companies supplying machinery and technology for lithium-ion battery cell and pack production. Competition is mainly focused on two areas: precision process equipment, especially fully automatic electrode slitting machines, and integrated automation and digital solutions for gigafactories. The analysis covers the global market, with particular attention to China’s electrode slitting segment and Europe’s digital integration case study. The global battery manufacturing equipment market was estimated at approximately USD 19.41 billion in 2025 (single web estimate), creating a large and growing market for equipment suppliers. The analysis excludes equipment used for upstream materials processing, battery recycling equipment, and end-user applications beyond battery manufacturing. Key Takeaways Naura Technology Group and Wuxi Lead Intelligent Equipment are among the few globally recognised manufacturers of fully automatic battery electrode slitting machines, positioning Chinese firms as critical suppliers in a precision‑centric process step. Siemens competes in battery equipment through its Digital Enterprise portfolio, offering end‑to‑end digitisation; its EUR 10 million investment in Northvolt’s 32 GWh gigafactory signals a partnership‑based strategy to secure reference projects. The market is split between specialised hardware‑focused OEMs and integrated automation/software providers, each serving different competitive dimensions (process precision vs. factory‑level digitalisation). China production value forecasts for electrode slitting machines (2021‑2032) are referenced in market studies, implying sustained demand growth, though the exact figures are not available in the supplied evidence. Specialised Precision Equipment: Electrode Slitting Fully automatic battery electrode slitting machines are an important part of lithium-ion cell manufacturing. They are used to precisely cut coated electrode foils before the cells move to the next stage of assembly. The global market includes several established manufacturers, such as Toray Engineering, Hakusan, MTI, Nagano-Automation, Maysun, Naura Technology, Ruian Loyal Machinery, Wuxi Lead Intelligent Equipment, and Wuxi Jinye Complete Equipment. Among these companies, Naura Technology Group and Wuxi Lead Intelligent Equipment are recognized as leading participants in the global market. The report does not provide exact revenue shares, but it states that the top three vendors accounted for an unspecified share of revenue in 2025, showing that the market is somewhat concentrated. The study also provides a forecast for China Fully Automatic Battery Electrode Slitting Machine Production Value, 2021–2032 (Section 3.6.3), which indicates continued investment and capacity expansion in China. Naura and Wuxi Lead have an advantage because they are close to the world’s largest battery cell production base, helping them with logistics and production scale. However, the report does not provide exact production values or market shares, so the level of market concentration cannot be measured precisely. Toray and Hakusan from Japan and MTI from the United States are also active in the market, making it a global market with competition spread across different regions. Integrated Digital Solutions: The Siemens‑Northvolt Partnership In contrast to the component‑level focus of slitting machine OEMs, large industrial automation suppliers compete by offering full‑factory digitalisation. The clearest supplied example is the partnership announced in May 2018 between Siemens and Northvolt. Siemens agreed to offer its Digital Enterprise portfolio to Northvolt for the construction and operation of its lithium‑ion battery cell gigafactory in Skellefteå, Sweden. The partnership included an investment of EUR 10 million from Siemens, and after production start (the plant opened in 2020 with a planned capacity of 32 GWh), Northvolt became a preferred supplier of lithium‑ion batteries for Siemens. The competitive logic is two‑fold. First, Siemens uses the partnership as a reference project for future battery production, demonstrating how its portfolio (software, automation, cloud computing) can digitise the entire value chain—from design and process planning to engineering and services. Jan Mrosik, then CEO of Siemens Digital Factory, stated: “With our Digital Enterprise portfolio, we contribute to a competitive battery cell production in Europe that fully exploits the benefits of software and automation: greater flexibility, efficiency and quality with shorter time to market.” Second, the supply‑side agreement (Siemens purchasing batteries) creates a closed‑loop incentive, aligning Siemens’ equipment sales with downstream offtake. Northvolt founder Peter Carlsson underscored the partnership’s strategic fit: “With its world‑class expertise within electrification, automation and digitalisation, Siemens will become an important technology partner, supplier and customer to Northvolt.” This approach contrasts with the transactional, hardware‑focused model of electrode slitting equipment suppliers. Comparison of competitive strategies: specialised equipment OEMs vs. integrated automation suppliers Dimension Specialised equipment OEMs (e.g., Naura, Wuxi Lead) Integrated automation suppliers (e.g., Siemens) Product focus Single‑process precision machines (electrode slitting) End‑to‑end Digital Enterprise portfolio (software, automation, services) Geographic emphasis China (domestic production base) with global sales Europe (reference project in Sweden) with global reach Value proposition Process‑level precision, reliability, and cost efficiency for a specific step Factory‑level flexibility, quality, reduced time‑to‑market through full digitisation Investment scale Not disclosed for individual projects; market growth implied by China production forecasts (2021‑2032) EUR 10 million equity investment plus long‑term battery supply commitment Market structure Multiple players; top three hold a measured but undisclosed share of revenue Large‑scale partnerships; reference project model for client acquisition competitive landscape scaled ## Value Chain Global battery manufacturing equipment market Scope and Equipment Taxonomy The battery manufacturing equipment market encompasses the machinery and systems used to produce lithium-ion cells and battery packs.

Downstream customers include lithium-ion battery cell producers, electric vehicle pack manufacturers, energy storage system assemblers, and consumer electronics battery lines. Supporting services such as maintenance, consulting, training, and logistics complete the ecosystem. The total addressable market is estimated at USD 19.41 billion in 2025, based on a single web estimate. Coverage in this chapter is limited to the two investments for which evidence is available; no data was supplied for electrode manufacturing or module/pack assembly equipment, nor for regions outside Germany and the United States. Key Takeaways ANDRITZ supplied a 1.5 GW formation line in southern Germany for premium electric-vehicle booster cells, emphasizing digital solutions, power electronics, and lifecycle support; it entered operation in January 2026. EnPower made a 60 MWh investment in automated cell assembly lines in Indianapolis for UAV and defense cells, prioritizing supply-chain resilience with 100 % non-FEOC sourcing; the lines are expected fully operational by Q2 2026. The two investments illustrate diverging demand: ultra-high-capacity formation lines for premium automotive cells versus modular assembly lines for specialized, security-sensitive applications. Both projects target early-2026 operation, suggesting active near-term deployment and follow-up order potential for equipment suppliers. The USD 19.41 billion addressable market (2025) indicates ongoing capital expenditure, but segment-level sizing and competitive share data are not available in the supplied evidence. Battery manufacturing equipment market structure Equipment Segment Upstream Inputs Downstream Applications Recent Investment Example (from supplied evidence) Electrode Manufacturing Specialty materials, precision metal parts, automation/control Li-ion cell production No specific investment in supplied packet Cell Assembly Automation/control, precision metal parts, software Li-ion cell production EnPower automated assembly lines, 60 MWh, Indianapolis, Q2 2026 Formation and Testing Power electronics, electrical/electronic components, software Li-ion cell production for EVs ANDRITZ 1.5 GW formation line, 50,000 channels, Germany, Jan 2026 Module and Pack Assembly Automation/control, electrical components, software EV pack, ESS No specific investment in supplied packet battery manufacturing equipment value flow Contrasting Investment Signals: High-Capacity Formation vs. Specialized Assembly Two equipment expansion announcements highlight the breadth of capacity, end-use, and geography in the market. ANDRITZ’s subsidiary delivered a 1.5-gigawatt mass formation line to a battery producer in southern Germany. The line, with 50,000 channels and a throughput of 200 cells per minute, produces cylindrical booster cells for a renowned German premium automaker. The equipment features integrated power electronics, real-time data tracing, and digital solutions; ANDRITZ also provides installation, commissioning, and lifecycle support. The line entered operation in January 2026, and the company reports it is “already working intensively on follow-up orders.” In contrast, EnPower announced an investment in advanced automated cell assembly lines at its Indianapolis headquarters. The new lines will add 60 MWh of annual assembly capacity for high-performance cells intended for the UAV and defense sectors. The equipment includes electrode processing, quality control, and end-to-end automation. EnPower emphasizes that its material sourcing is 100 % non-FEOC, ensuring a domestic supply chain. The lines are expected fully operational by Q2 2026. The company describes the investment as “a critical step in strengthening the US battery supply chain” and as addressing “urgent need for high-performance, secure, domestically sourced batteries.” Comparison of ANDRITZ and EnPower equipment investments Aspect ANDRITZ (Germany) EnPower (United States) Capacity Scale 1.5 GW formation line 60 MWh annual assembly capacity End-use Application Automotive booster cells for a premium EV manufacturer UAV and defense high-performance cells Geographic Focus Southern Germany (fully European cooperation) Indianapolis, Indiana (100 % domestically sourced) Equipment Type Mass formation line: 50,000 channels, 200 cells/min, 22 modules, 14 racks Automated cell assembly lines with electrode processing and quality control Technology Emphasis Digital solutions, data management, advanced power electronics, lifecycle services End-to-end automation, non-FEOC material sourcing, quality control Timeline Operational January 2026 Fully operational Q2 2026 Customer Type Renowned German premium automaker US defense and UAV sector The two cases reveal a clear bifurcation. The ANDRITZ line targets ultra-high throughput for a premium automotive application, with digital integration and comprehensive after-sales support as competitive differentiators. The EnPower investment prioritizes supply-chain resilience, automation, and compliance with domestic sourcing rules for security-sensitive end uses. Both suppliers are positioning for follow-up orders, indicating that equipment demand is diversifying by segment and region. Market Implications for Participants and Timing The two announced investments point to growing demand in two distinct equipment segments: mass-production formation lines and specialised cell assembly lines. Buying factors vary by application: scale, digital capability, and lifecycle services drive decisions for high-volume automotive lines, while supply-chain security, automation, and sourcing independence dominate defense-oriented projects. Both investments are expected to be operational in the first half of 2026, aligning with the broader scale-up of battery cell production. For equipment OEMs, the European market appears to value technology differentiation (digital solutions, power electronics) and full-lifecycle support, as exemplified by ANDRITZ’s “fully European cooperation” and its ability “to prevail over other competitors.” In North America, the emphasis on non-FEOC sourcing and domestic supply chains suggests that equipment suppliers able to offer modular, US-based assembly lines and secure material chains will have a competitive advantage. The total addressable market of USD 19.41 billion in 2025 provides context for the scale of opportunity, but segment-level growth patterns, competitive shares, and pricing remain unsupported by the supplied evidence. Equipment OEMs should monitor the evolving requirements of automotive versus defense and UAV customers, as these segments are likely to demand increasingly differentiated equipment configurations. ## Investment Activity Investment Chapter: Battery Manufacturing Equipment Market This chapter covers investment activity in battery manufacturing equipment, focusing on U.S. public and private funding during 2025–2026.

Supporting services such as maintenance, consulting, training, facilities, and supply chain are excluded. Recent innovations are advancing production efficiency through digital twins, high‑speed prismatic assembly, all‑solid‑state stacking, and dry electrode coating. Their collective impact, however, depends on integration into production lines and the timing of scale‑up. Key Takeaways Digital twin solutions (BatCAT) are emerging to improve quality and process trust, aligned with the BATTERY 2030+ roadmap, but remain at project stage until 2030. High‑speed assembly lines for 588 Ah large prismatic cells now achieve 20 PPM, reducing per‑cell cost and enabling rapid energy‑storage capacity expansion. All‑solid‑state battery mass production is de‑risked by LEAD’s stacking solution achieving 0.35 s/cell with a 50 % speed increase and 30 % yield improvement. Dry electrode coating (Dürr X.Cellify DC) promises 65 % energy reduction and eliminates solvent recovery, potentially reshaping electrode factory layout and CapEx. These innovations target different manufacturing pain points and lack a single integrated offering, requiring equipment buyers to prioritise investments based on cell chemistry and production scale. Digital Twins and Process Optimisation The European Union-funded BatCAT project (Battery Cell Assembly Twin) is developing a digital twin that combines data-driven and physics-based methods to improve battery manufacturing. The project focuses on three main challenges: battery cell design, production operations, and trust in manufacturing data. BatCAT is creating a cross-chemistry data space covering lithium-ion, sodium-ion coin cells, and redox flow batteries, with the aim of improving product quality and process efficiency. The digital twin is designed to provide real-time data analysis and support decision-making in Industry 5.0 manufacturing environments. The project is aligned with the BATTERY 2030+ roadmap and is expected to deliver its outcomes by 2030. For equipment OEMs, cell manufacturers, and system integrators, the project points toward greater use of digital twins in battery production. However, BatCAT is still at the prototype stage and does not yet have a confirmed commercial deployment timeline. Comparison of Key Innovation Metrics Three of the four innovations have clear quantitative performance measures, while BatCAT does not provide a single numerical performance metric because it is focused mainly on digital-twin development. YIFI Laser reports a throughput of 20 PPM, LEAD Intelligent Equipment reports a cycle time of 0.35 seconds per cell along with a 50% increase in speed and a 30% improvement in yield, while Dürr reports a 65% reduction in energy consumption. The comparison therefore highlights different areas of improvement across the technologies: YIFI Laser focuses on production throughput, LEAD Intelligent on cycle time, speed, and yield, and Dürr on energy efficiency. BatCAT’s contribution is more qualitative at this stage, with its main focus on real-time data, cross-chemistry modelling, and digital decision support rather than a measured production improvement. High‑Speed Assembly for Large‑Format Cells YIFI Laser has rolled off a high‑speed assembly line for 588 Ah large prismatic energy‑storage cells. The line covers the full assembly process from cell preheating to sealing pin welding, including thermal pressing, ultrasonic welding, tab laser welding, stacking and wrapping into casing, top‑cover laser sealing, helium leak testing, and sealing pin welding. It achieves a production efficiency of up to 20 PPM. The line is compatible with cell capacities ranging from 187 Ah to 588 Ah and supports both 2‑tab and 4‑tab cell structures. Multi‑station visual inspection and a 3D double‑side visual system are used to ensure high yield and consistent quality. This equipment directly reduces per‑cell manufacturing cost and factory space requirements, making it attractive for stationary‑storage manufacturers aiming to scale up quickly. All‑Solid‑State Battery Manufacturing LEAD Intelligent unveiled a next‑generation high‑efficiency stacking solution for all‑solid‑state batteries, achieving 0.35 seconds per cell. The solution addresses the long‑standing challenge of simultaneously achieving precision, yield, and efficiency in the stacking and cutting‑stacking processes of solid‑state cells. LEAD claims a 50 % increase in stacking speed and a 30 % yield improvement compared to prior methods. The technology bridges the gap between laboratory‑scale processes and industrial mass‑production equipment. It was presented at the 10th Qidian Lithium‑ion Battery Industry Annual Conference in January 2026. This innovation de‑risks the timeline for all‑solid‑state mass production, as equipment buyers can now expect production‑ready stacking solutions that deliver the speed and yield needed for commercial viability. Dry Electrode Coating: Lab to Fab Transition Dürr’s X.Cellify DC dry coating technology transitions electrode manufacturing from wet‑based slurry processing to a dry‑film approach. In conventional wet coating, active material is dispersed in a solvent, applied to metal foil, dried in long ovens, and the solvent is often recovered—requiring large dryers, solvent handling, and significant energy. Dry coating removes these steps by forming a free‑standing film of active material through dosing and calendering, then laminating the film to both sides of the current collector. Dr. Stefan Doose presented this technology at the Battery Show Europe. Dürr states that dry coating reduces energy consumption by 65 % and directly lowers both CapEx and OpEx while shrinking factory footprint. The technology is moving from lab to fab; customers are evaluating pilots, but mass‑production readiness is not yet claimed. Technology Comparison Comparison of technology innovations Technology / Innovation Participant Metric Period Application Implication Digital twin for cell assembly BatCAT (HORIZON) No single metric supplied; aligns with BATTERY 2030+; cross‑chemistry data space Project until 2030 Li‑ion, Na‑ion coin cells, redox‑flow batteries Emerging prototype; integration into production lines will require industry‑wide standards High‑speed prismatic assembly line YIFI Laser 20 PPM Commercial (rolled off 2026) Large‑format energy‑storage cells (187‑588 Ah) Reduces per‑cell cost and factory footprint; enables rapid ESS capacity expansion All‑solid‑state stacking solution LEAD Intelligent 0.35 s/cell; 50 % speed increase; 30 % yield improvement Commercial (unveiled Jan 2026) All‑solid‑state batteries De‑risks mass production; equipment buyers now have a benchmark for solid‑state stacking Dry electrode coating Dürr (X.Cellify DC) 65 % energy reduction Lab‑to‑fab transition (presented 2026) Electrode manufacturing Lower CapEx/OpEx; eliminates solvent handling; factory footprint shrinks battery manufacturing flow innovations scaled.. Implications for Industry Each innovation—digital twin, high‑speed prismatic assembly, solid‑state stacking, and dry coating—addresses a distinct manufacturing bottleneck. BatCAT’s digital twin is a prototype that, if commercialised, could optimise the entire cell assembly process. YIFI’s 20 PPM line and LEAD’s 0.35 s/cell stacking are already commercial and can be procured today, though they target different cell formats and chemistries. Dürr’s dry coating is still in the pilot phase but offers a step change in upstream energy and space efficiency. Equipment buyers must assess their own chemistry roadmaps and scale targets before prioritising investments. The lack of a single integrated solution means that factories will likely combine best‑in‑class equipment from multiple suppliers, making interoperability and standardisation critical for future efficiency gains. ## Market Risk Risk : Battery Manufacturing Equipment Market This chapter looks at the main risks facing the battery manufacturing equipment market, using the global 2025 market size estimate of $19.41 billion as a reference point. The focus is on upstream supply problems and changes in trade policy that could affect equipment manufacturers, battery cell producers, and end users. Cyclone disruptions in Australia and closure of South Africa’s last manganese smelter tighten global manganese supply, potentially raising steel Toxic‑waste allegations at a Ghanaian manganese mine supplying Tesla’s EV chain introduce reputational and regulatory risk, potentially triggering stricter ESG audits and shifting supply sourcing, affecting equipment OEMs’ customer base. US tariff policy uncertainty has stalled battery materials projects: new US project announcements dropped from 19 in H1 2023 (US$6.7 billion China’s export controls on battery manufacturing equipment (effective 8 November 2025) restrict shipments of key machinery to non‑Chinese cell producers, disrupting supply chains and forcing alternative sourcing that may raise costs and extend lead times for equipment OEMs. Raw Material Supply Risks: Manganese Constraints Cyclone disruption in Australia reduces South32’s manganese output Tropical Cyclone Narelle disrupted operations at South32’s Gemco mine in the Northern Territory during March 2026. The company reduced its fiscal 2026 production guidance for Australia manganese to 3 million wet metric tons (wmt), down more than 6% from the previous forecast. Third‑quarter output was 589,000 wmt, up from zero in the same period a year earlier. The cyclone cut into a critical manganese supply region, and the lower output tightens global availability of the metal. Manganese is essential for high‑strength steel used in battery manufacturing equipment and for certain battery cathodes. The mechanism runs from mine disruption → reduced manganese supply → higher input costs for steel‑based equipment components → potential margin pressure for equipment OEMs, and uncertainty for cell producers that depend on manganese‑rich cathode chemistries. South Africa’s last manganese smelter ceases production Transalloys, the last manganese smelter in South Africa, ceased production in July 2026 after years of mounting financial losses driven by high electricity costs and the slow pace of tariff relief. The facility in Mpumalanga put about 600 direct jobs and 7,000 downstream roles at risk, with a R6 billion investment under threat. Transalloys’ closure removes a major regional source of ferromanganese, an input for steelmaking and precision metal parts used in battery manufacturing equipment. The mechanism: reduced ferromanganese supply → higher prices for specialty steels and fabricated components → increased procurement costs for equipment OEMs and their component suppliers. Toxic‑waste allegations at Ghanaian manganese mine supplying Tesla’s chain An investigation by Global Witness in 2025–2026 revealed that waste from a giant manganese mine in Ghana—a key supplier to the EV supply chain, including Tesla—is creating toxic conditions for local communities. Interviews with more than 150 residents documented chronic health problems (skin, eye, breathing conditions) and poisoned water supplies. A 2022 water study found the mine pit water highly concentrated in arsenic and other toxic metals; the authors warned of risks of cancer, stillbirths, and even DNA alterations. Ghana is the world’s fourth‑largest manganese producer, and China processes more than 90% of global manganese products. The allegations create reputational and regulatory risk: cell producers and their equipment vendors may face pressure to tighten ESG audits, alter sourcing, or redesign supply chains to avoid material from disputed mines. For equipment OEMs, a shift away from Ghanaian or Chinese‑processed manganese could alter demand patterns for certain battery‑grade materials and, by extension, the equipment that processes them. Comparison of manganese supply risks Risk Mechanism Exposed participant / geography Timing Supported consequence Cyclone reduces Australian manganese output Lower mine production tightens global supply → higher steel input costs for equipment; uncertainty for manganese‑rich cathode users Battery equipment OEMs (via steel costs); cell producers using high‑manganese chemistries; Australia, global 2026 (forecast cut; disruption in March 2026) South32 fiscal 2026 guidance: 3 M wmt, down >6% from prior forecast South Africa smelter closure Loss of last domestic ferromanganese source → tighter regional metal supply → higher specialty‑steel costs for equipment fabrication Equipment OEMs sourcing steel components; South Africa, global 2026 (closure July 2026) Transalloys ceased production; 600 direct, 7,000 downstream jobs at risk; R6 bn investment at stake Toxic‑waste allegations at Ghana mine Reputational and regulatory pressure → potential ESG‑driven supply redirection → altered demand for battery‑grade manganese and processing equipment Tesla’s supply chain; Ghana manganese export flows; China (processor of >90% of global manganese products); equipment OEMs reliant on those flows 2025–2026 (investigation published, health effects documented) More than 150 affected people; mine pit water with arsenic; calls for action not yet implemented Manganese supply chain disruption map Trade Policy and Export Control Risks US tariff policy stalls battery materials project investment After the Trump administration’s tariff policy shift, new US battery component or mineral extraction projects dropped sharply. In the first six months of 2023, companies announced 19 projects representing US$6.7 billion in planned investment. Since the policy change, only three new US projects have been announced. Specific examples: Group14 delayed its silicon anode facility in Washington until tariff clarity improves; Aspen Aerogels canceled a Georgia facility that was conditionally approved for a US$670 million Department of Energy loan; Eos Energy’s US$306 million loan closed in December 2025 but is now under review by the loan office. For battery manufacturing equipment OEMs, the mechanism is clear: fewer and smaller battery materials projects → reduced demand for cell‑production equipment → lower orders and revenue for OEMs. The pipeline stall is concentrated in the US, but the effect ripples globally as projects that would have procured equipment from American, European, or Asian OEMs are delayed or cancelled. China’s expanded export controls restrict battery manufacturing equipment On 9 October 2025, China’s Ministry of Commerce and General Administration of Customs jointly issued Decision No. 58 of 2025, effective 8 November 2025. This adds \”equipment for the manufacturing of rechargeable and dischargeable lithium‑ion batteries\” (including cells and packs with energy density ≥300 Wh/kg) to the List of Dual‑Use Items, an export‑controlled category. Shipments of such equipment now require an export license from Chinese authorities. The decision also controls battery technology and high‑density lithium‑ion cells themselves. China is the dominant producer of battery‑manufacturing machinery; these controls restrict the supply of critical equipment to non‑Chinese cell manufacturers. For equipment OEMs outside China, the mechanism includes two pathways: (1) OEMs that rely on Chinese‑made components face supply disruptions, higher costs, or longer lead times as they seek alternative sourcing; (2) OEMs based in China may gain a competitive advantage by controlling access to restricted machinery, while non‑Chinese OEMs could lose market share if their customers cannot obtain the controlled equipment. The timing (effective late 2025) means the impact will become visible in equipment order books and delivery schedules in 2026. Boundary and evidence gaps. The risks covered are limited to manganese supply and two trade‑policy developments. Other critical categories—technology substitution, labor shortages, cobalt/nickel/lithium risks, competitive dynamics—are not addressed by the available information. No data on demand growth rates for the equipment market exists in the packet, making it impossible to quantify the absolute equipment‑order impact from project delays. Alternative sourcing strategies, inventory buffers, and supplier responses are unaddressed. The 2025 market size of $19.41 billion is a single‑web estimate without cross‑validation. All risk events date from 2025–2026 and may not reflect post‑2026 trends. ## Regulatory Landscape Scope of this Chapter Regulatory developments in the European Union, international standards bodies, and India are redefining market entry requirements and cost structures for battery manufacturing equipment. Exporters, certification bodies, and downstream battery and pack manufacturers must calibrate compliance strategies and capital outlays to three distinct but simultaneous changes: binding sustainability and due diligence obligations in the EU, new harmonised safety standards from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), and a tariff exemption on a critical raw material input in India. Key takeaways EU Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 requires mandatory carbon footprint declarations and due diligence on economic operators; due diligence obligations become applicable on 18 August 2025, though the designation of notified bodies is delayed. IEC 62933-4-1:2026 takes effect on 15 July 2026 for EU-bound liquid-cooled large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) units, introducing grid-forming capability and third-party certification requirements. IEC 62660-3:2026, published on 27 May 2026, harmonises EV battery safety testing across China, the EU, Japan and South Korea, reducing average type‑approval duration from 12 to 7 weeks. India exempts basic customs duty (to 0%) on high-grade manganese ore under Tariff Item 26020010 from 9 June 2026, lowering input costs for domestic battery equipment manufacturers. The simultaneous timing of these regulations (2025–2026) creates a compliance window that equipment suppliers must navigate, driving demand for testing, certification and consulting services across jurisdictions. EU and international standards reshaping market access EU Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, as amended by (EU) 2025/1561, imposes battery due diligence obligations on economic operators that place batteries on the EU market or put them into service. These obligations cover the sourcing, processing and trading of cobalt, natural graphite, lithium and nickel. They include requirements for third‑party verification by notified bodies and for disclosure of information on supply chain risk management. The due diligence obligations are to be applied from 18 August 2025. The regulation also defines ‘carbon footprint’ as the sum of greenhouse gas emissions and removals expressed as CO₂ equivalents, based on a Product Environmental Footprint study, and mandates carbon footprint declarations for batteries placed on the market. However, the designation of notified bodies is taking longer than expected, and due diligence schemes addressing battery raw materials still need further development and implementation. This creates uncertainty about enforcement readiness during the initial compliance period. For battery manufacturing equipment exporters, the regulation directly affects market entry: equipment used to produce batteries destined for the EU must support the collection of data required for carbon footprint declarations and due diligence reporting. Downstream battery cell and pack manufacturers will require equipment that enables traceability of material origin and energy consumption. Certification bodies and technical consulting services face additional demand for verifying compliance. IEC 62933-4-1:2026 – BESS safety standard On 15 July 2026, the IEC formally published and made mandatory IEC 62933-4-1:2026, replacing IEC 62933‑4:2022. The new standard applies to all liquid‑cooled large‑scale BESS units shipped to the EU. It requires grid‑forming capability and third‑party certification, and adds dynamic test requirements covering real‑time inertial response, black‑start support, and low‑voltage ride‑through (LVRT). The rule change directly affects BESS market access, type‑testing cycles, and the validity of CE declarations of conformity. Manufacturers and export‑oriented suppliers will feel the impact at the product qualification stage, where technical specifications, compliance files and certification readiness must be updated. IEC 62660-3:2026 – EV battery safety harmonisation Published on 27 May 2026, IEC 62660-3:2026 harmonises safety test requirements for secondary lithium‑ion traction batteries used in electric road vehicles. The standard integrates testing protocols previously divergent across GB/T (China), UN GTR 20 (EU), JIS C 8714 (Japan) and KS C IEC 62660-3 (South Korea). Adoption reduces the average type‑approval duration for battery systems exported to the EU, South Korea and Southeast Asia from 12 weeks to 7 weeks – a 40 % reduction. For battery manufacturing equipment, this means that equipment producing cells or packs for export to multiple markets can be designed to a single set of safety parameters, reducing certification logistics and time‑to‑market. However, the standard imposes new testing requirements that may necessitate equipment modifications or additional test fixtures. Regulatory comparison: selected instruments affecting battery manufacturing equipment Jurisdiction Rule / standard Requirement Effective date Affected participant European Union EU Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, as amended by (EU) 2025/1561 Carbon footprint declarations; battery due diligence on cobalt, lithium, nickel, natural graphite sourcing; third‑party verification by notified bodies Due diligence obligations from 18 August 2025 (notified body designation delayed) Battery manufacturing equipment exporters, economic operators, notified bodies International (EU market specific) IEC 62933-4-1:2026 Grid‑forming capability, third‑party certification, dynamic tests (inertial response, black‑start, LVRT) for liquid‑cooled large‑scale BESS 15 July 2026 BESS equipment manufacturers, exporters to EU, certification bodies International (global) IEC 62660-3:2026 Harmonised safety tests for EV traction batteries; single‑test acceptance across GB/T, UN GTR 20, JIS C 8714, KS C IEC 62660-3 27 May 2026 EV battery cell and pack manufacturers, equipment exporters, certification bodies India Notification No. 21/2026-Customs (Government of India Ministry of Finance) Exemption of basic customs duty (0%) on high‑grade manganese ore under Tariff Item 26020010 9 June 2026 Domestic battery equipment manufacturers (via reduced input costs) Regulatory timeline for battery manufacturing India’s tariff exemption: lowering input costs for domestic equipment manufacturing On 9 June 2026, the Government of India Ministry of Finance, Department of Revenue, issued Notification No. 21/2026-Customs under the Customs Act, 1962, amending the principal notification No. 62/2022-Customs. The amendment inserts entry 825A into Table I, fixing the basic customs duty rate at 0.0% for all imports of high‑grade manganese ore falling under Tariff Item 26020010. Previously, such imports attracted positive basic customs duty rates. High‑grade manganese ore is a critical raw material used in the production of cathode materials for certain lithium‑ion battery chemistries and in steelmaking for battery manufacturing equipment components. By eliminating the basic customs duty, the Indian government aims to stabilise raw material costs for domestic industry, including manufacturers of battery cells, packs, and the machinery used to produce them. The cost reduction passes through to battery manufacturing equipment producers indirectly, as lower input costs for cathode precursors may reduce overall production costs for battery cells, potentially increasing domestic demand for production equipment. Importers of high‑grade manganese ore can now bring in the material duty‑free, improving the competitiveness of downstream battery component manufacturing in India. This tariff change is a national level measure. It does not directly alter equipment trade barriers, but by improving the cost position of domestic battery material and cell producers, it may shift investment decisions and equipment procurement patterns. Equipment suppliers serving the Indian market may see increased orders from domestic cell manufacturers benefiting from lower material costs. The chapter covers the three regulatory developments that directly affect battery manufacturing equipment: EU binding regulation on battery sustainability and due diligence, IEC safety standards for BESS and EV batteries that harmonise certification, and India’s customs duty exemption on a critical raw material. Excluded are battery chemistry‑specific rules, end‑of‑life regulations only, other regional trade policies, and non‑binding guidelines. No single framework spans all markets; exporters face a fragmented landscape requiring multi‑jurisdictional compliance strategies. Enforcement details and industry response data are not available in the available documentation. ## FAQ **Q: What is the projected market size of the Global Battery Manufacturing Equipment Market by 2033?** The Global Battery Manufacturing Equipment Market is projected to reach USD 68.25 billion by 2033, growing from USD 19.41 billion in 2025 at a baseline CAGR of 17.02% during the forecast period **Q: What are the key factors driving the growth of the Global Battery Manufacturing Equipment Market?** The market is driven by gigafactory investments, EU Battery Regulation carbon footprint compliance, the U.S. DOE USD 500 million battery manufacturing grant program, increasing EV battery production, and growing investments in advanced automation and digital manufacturing technologies. **Q: Which equipment segments are included in the Global Battery Manufacturing Equipment Market?** The market includes electrode manufacturing equipment, cell assembly equipment, formation & testing equipment, and module & pack assembly equipment, along with automation, control systems, and software supplied as integral parts of battery manufacturing equipment. **Q: What are the major challenges affecting the market?** Key challenges include automation substitution by robotics suppliers such as ABB and KUKA, geopolitical trade policy uncertainties, export control restrictions on battery manufacturing equipment, and supply chain disruptions.
