Cylindrical battery winding machines are core equipment in the lithium-ion battery manufacturing process. Their function is to precisely wind the positive electrode sheet, negative electrode sheet, and separator into a cylindrical cell structure according to predetermined tension and position. Widely used in 18650, 21700, and 4680 cylindrical battery production lines, they are one of the key pieces of equipment in the manufacturing of power batteries, energy storage batteries, and consumer electronics batteries. This process directly affects the battery's energy density, consistency, and safety. The winding process is one of the most critical forming steps in lithium battery production, determining the stability of the cell structure and production efficiency. In 2025, global sales of cylindrical battery winding machines were approximately 2,280 units, with an average unit price of approximately US$640,000 and an overall industry capacity utilization rate of approximately 78%. The upstream of the industry chain mainly comes from the lithium battery equipment, component, and material sectors, including precision machining, servo motors, linear guides, industrial control systems, laser processing equipment, and automation component companies. The midstream consists of battery production equipment manufacturers, while the downstream comprises power battery, energy storage battery, and consumer electronics battery manufacturers. The industry's average gross profit margin is approximately 28%. The product cost structure mainly includes core mechanical structure and precision machining (approximately 38%), servo control systems and electrical systems (approximately 24%), precision transmission and motion control components (approximately 16%), R&D and software systems (approximately 12%), and assembly and testing (approximately 10%). On the demand side, the downstream demand list mainly includes new energy vehicle power batteries, power tool batteries, energy storage batteries, consumer electronics batteries, and light electric vehicle batteries. The downstream customer list mainly includes battery manufacturers such as CATL, BYD, LG Energy Solution, Panasonic, Samsung SDI, EVE Energy, Sunwoda, and Guoxuan High-Tech. In terms of business opportunities, policy-driven factors mainly come from national policies promoting new energy vehicles and supporting the energy storage industry, driving the continuous expansion of battery production capacity. Technological innovation is mainly reflected in the development of large cylindrical 4680 batteries, all-tab structures, and high-speed automated production lines, significantly increasing the demand for high-precision, high-speed winding equipment. Regarding changes in consumer demands, the increased range of electric vehicles, the lightweighting of consumer electronics products, and the expansion of energy storage systems have increased the demand for high-energy-density cylindrical batteries, thereby driving the continued development of the winding equipment market.

The cylindrical battery winding machine industry occupies a crucial position in the new energy equipment industry chain, and its future development is highly correlated with the new energy vehicle, electrochemical energy storage, and consumer electronics markets. With the continued growth in global new energy vehicle sales and the rapid development of the energy storage industry, battery capacity expansion remains a long-term trend, providing a stable demand foundation for winding equipment. Simultaneously, large cylindrical battery technology is becoming one of the important development directions for power batteries. New cell structures such as the 4680 series place higher demands on winding precision, speed, and automation, driving equipment companies to continuously upgrade their technologies. On the other hand, competition in the equipment industry is gradually intensifying. Decreasing prices and increased customer concentration mean that equipment manufacturers need to rely on technological innovation, complete line solutions capabilities, and global service capabilities to maintain competitiveness. From a regional perspective, Chinese equipment companies have already established a strong advantage in the lithium battery equipment field, possessing competitiveness in automation, cost control, and production scale, and are gradually expanding their overseas market share. In the coming years, with the upgrading of power battery production lines, the explosive growth in demand for energy storage batteries, and the iteration of consumer electronics batteries, high-speed, intelligent, and integrated equipment will become the main development direction of the industry. Companies that can provide complete line equipment and digital production solutions are more likely to obtain orders from large battery manufacturers, thus occupying a more advantageous position in the industry.
