Solid-State Batteries Could Shatter China's Grip on Global Energy Storage

The global battery sector is on fire – and we’re not just talking about lithium-ion battery explosions. In 2025, the global lithium-ion battery market topped USD $150 billion in 2025, marking a stunning 20 percent year-on-year increase. But current lithium-ion battery design has some key limitations, opening up a potentially massive market for competitive designs. One of the major frontrunners are solid-state batteries, which could potentially offer higher energy density, faster recharging times, and better safety than battery cells…
