Lithium Battery Manufacturing in the UK

Lithium battery manufacturing is ramping up in the UK following substantial support from government-backed R&D investment. Manufacturers are increasingly focused on producing high-quality, low-volume batteries – often to spec – for the defence, medical and automotive industries. Business confidence is a key driver of investment in lithium battery manufacturing, which is driven by the state of the economy. Exports are a key source of revenue; the sustained weakness of the pound has made UK-manufactured batteries more competitively priced, helping to raise export levels. Over the five years through 2023-24, lithium battery manufacturers' revenue is forecast to grow at a compound annual rate of 2.5% to reach £245.3 million.

Companies operating in this industry manufacture lithium and lithium-ion batteries. Industry products are most commonly used in vehicles and electronic devices such as mobile phones, cameras, laptops, pacemakers and toys.
