Taiwan’s Largest Battery Import Sources, 2024

China supplied most of Taiwan’s listed battery and accumulator import value.

What the Data Shows

Lithium-ion batteries matter for energy storage, devices and electric-vehicle systems, but public Taiwan selected-commodity data is broader than one lithium-ion code. The official battery line still shows the sourcing pattern for Taiwan’s battery import pipeline. China’s lead is large enough to be visible even when the category is treated cautiously.

Data notes & caveats

This is broader than HS 850760 lithium-ion batteries. Use exact CCC/HS 850760 if the final graphic must be lithium-ion only.

Methodology

Values use Taiwan MOF Table 9, “Primary Cells, Primary Batteries and Electric Accumulators,” 2024 cumulative imports by country of origin. Values are current U.S. dollars, shown in millions.

Source consistency notes

All visible ranking values use the same 2024 source table unless otherwise noted in data_notes and research_warnings.
