South Korea imported about $5.17B of lithium battery in 2024, of which 83.3% came from China. South Korea publishes shipment-level records, so the companies behind these numbers can be identified.
These are the origins South Korea buys lithium battery from, by declared value. If you are selling into South Korea, this is who you would be up against and how concentrated the market is. If you are buying, it shows which origins are established at scale.
| # | Origin | Value | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | China | $4.31B | 83.3% |
| 2 | Indonesia | $488.5M | 9.4% |
| 3 | Viet Nam | $76.5M | 1.5% |
| 4 | USA | $59.0M | 1.1% |
| 5 | Japan | $54.5M | 1.1% |
Because South Korea publishes shipment-level records, we can go from the figures above to the companies behind them: who imports lithium battery, how often they buy, at what value, who supplies them today, and how to reach the person who signs off.
