Well-founded insights for decision-makers

The European battery industry has reached a critical turning point. After a period of rapid expansion and high-flying expectations, the reality of global market shifts and structural hurdles has set in. As of 2026, the focus has shifted from “damage control” to the urgent need for a resilient, self-sufficient, and innovative local value chain.

While political commitment is on the right track through initiatives like the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA)and the EU Battery Regulation, significant hurdles remain. Europe’s path to battery sovereignty is challenged by intense price competition from non-EU players, a complex regulatory landscape, and a widening gap in raw material self-sufficiency.

This white paper offers in-depth insights into the current development of the battery value chain in Europe, highlighting the major production hubs emerging across the region and the key players driving them.
