Global Roller Pressing Blade Battery Cans Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Roller Pressing Blade Battery Cans market size is predicted to grow from US$ 302 million in 2025 to US$ 2,172 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 32.9% from 2026 to 2032.

The blade battery originated from the lithium iron phosphate (LFP) power battery launched by BYD in 2020. It is named for its flat and slender battery cell shape. Its core innovation lies in the module-free design. The battery cells are directly arranged into a battery pack, eliminating the traditional module structure and improving space utilization.

The Roller Pressing Blade Battery Cans refers to an aluminum shell for blade batteries manufactured by a roll-pressing process. Its core feature is that the aluminum strip is processed into an ultra-thin, long strip-shaped sealed shell through continuous rolling, welding and straightening processes, which has both structural support and battery cell protection functions.

As the core carrier of the global transportation energy revolution, the Electric Vehicles industry has shifted from a policy-driven to a market- and technology-driven development stage. In 2024, China's Electric Vehicle sales reached 12.866 million units, a year-on-year increase of 35.5%, ranking first in the world for 10 consecutive years. Batteries, as the core components of Electric Vehicle, directly affect the performance, endurance, safety and user experience of the vehicle. As an alternative energy carrier to traditional fuel engines, batteries are not only a source of power, but also the foundation for the development of vehicle intelligence and electrification.

From the current battery form of Electric Vehicle, there are mainly ordinary square shell batteries, cylindrical batteries, blade batteries and other types. Ordinary square shell batteries have high structural strength and good grouping efficiency (volume utilization rate of more than 60%), which are suitable for mainstream vehicle designs. Representative manufacturers include CATL, CALB Group, Gotion High-tech, etc. Square shell batteries are the battery form with the highest market share; the representative models of cylindrical batteries are mainly Tesla, and South Korea's LG is the main supplier. Cylindrical batteries can improve heat dissipation efficiency and single cell capacity compared to square shell batteries; blade batteries are mainly derived from the evolution of the battery architecture of Electric Vehicle, from battery modules (CTM) to CTP, and then to CTB. Car companies represented by BYD have developed blade batteries to improve the space utilization of battery packs and increase energy density. In March 2020, blade batteries began mass production at BYD's Chongqing Fudi Battery Factory. The BYD Han EV, which was equipped with blade batteries for the first time, has a range of 300 km. 605km, reaching the same endurance level as high-energy-density ternary battery electric vehicles. By the end of 2024, BYD's blade battery installed capacity has exceeded 200 GWh.

As the core structural component of the blade battery, the battery cell shell is mainly used to accommodate and protect the internal battery cell materials. The battery cell shell is usually made of aluminum. According to different processes, the blade battery cell shell can be divided into extrusion molding, stamping molding, roll forming and other types. Extrusion and stamping processes are production processes from many years ago. Due to their own process defects and material performance limitations, they cannot meet the mileage requirements of Electric Vehicle and are gradually eliminated by the market. Roll welding not only breaks through the defects of the above two processes, but also solves the limitations of material performance. It will become the mainstream process in the Electric Vehicle market in the future. Currently, the number of roll-pressed blade battery cell shell manufacturers is only in the single digits, mainly including Shandong XinHeyuan, Shenzhen Kedali, Ningbo Zhenyu Technology, Fuzhixin New Energy Technology, GUANGZHOU LINGLONG TUBING TECHNOLOGY, Tai'an Dingtai Automotive Technology, Zhejiang Zhongze Precision Technology, Fischer Group, UNION ALUMINUM, Jiangsu Otepas New Energy Technology and other companies. According to our research data, the shipment volume of roll-pressed blade battery cell shells will exceed 130 million in 2024, of which Shandong XinHeyuan occupies about 60% of the market share.

Roll-pressed blade battery cell shells can be divided into long blade and short blade products according to different types. Long blade batteries are dominated by BYD blade batteries, and short blades are represented by Honeycomb Energy. In recent years, Zhongxinhang and Geely have also entered the short blade product market. According to our data, the market share of roll-pressed long blade battery shells will be nearly 90% in 2024, and roll-pressed short blade battery shells are developing rapidly at a high growth rate. From the application perspective, BEV is the most important downstream application. In 2024, BEV will account for about 85% of the market share, and PHEV will account for about 10% of the market share. Other fields such as energy storage applications have also been trial-produced and installed and are developing rapidly. In the future, with the coordinated development of long and short blade batteries, and the expansion of cross-field applications such as Electric Vehicle, energy storage, and construction machinery, the roller-pressed blade battery cell shell will usher in a broad market development space.
