Introduction

As the domestic battery industry continues to expand, listed companies across power, consumer, storage, and material segments are reporting their latest human resource figures.

Battery enterprise efficiency, a dual-dimensional look at revenue and profit per capita-Chargerlab

We have analyzed 28 representative players, ranging from industry leaders like CATL, Sunwoda, Gotion High-Tech, and EVE Energy to niche, specialized enterprises such as Deryu and Lijia Tech. The findings are clear：With a combined workforce exceeding 480,000, these companies are generating an average revenue of roughly 1.45 million RMB per employee.

Overview of A-share listed battery enterprises

The following table lists operational data for 28 battery companies, sorted alphabetically by brand.

These firms cover power, consumer, and energy storage batteries, as well as battery materials. They are distributed across 14 provinces, with the largest group located in Guangdong (9 enterprises).

2025 employee ranking

The battery sector displays a clear "long-tail" distribution with extreme variance in workforce size. CATL stands at the top with 185,800 staff, trailed by Sunwoda (63,700), GOTION (33,100), and EVE (31,200).

While power battery leaders dominate in terms of massive headcounts, companies specializing in consumer and primary lithium batteries operate with much leaner, more agile teams.

2025 revenue per capita ranking

FAR EAST CABLE ranks first with 3.8122 million RMB/person, followed by Tianneng (2.4187 million) and CATL (2.2799 million).

Five companies show revenue per capita above 2 million RMB, and 10 remain below 1 million RMB. With nearly half of the enterprises reporting over 1.3 million RMB per person, the industry maintains high overall productivity.

2025 profit per capita ranking

CATL (413,200 RMB/person) and Anfu Technology (400,500 RMB/person) form the leading tier, significantly surpassing other firms. Ranking third to fifth are ATL (186,500 RMB/person), Deryu (176,200 RMB/person), and Corun (150,000 RMB/person).

Over 80% of these firms are profitable, but the top concentration is evident as CATL and Anfu Technology lead by a wide margin, while most other companies report profit per capita in the 50,000 to 150,000 RMB range.

Summary of ChargerLAB

These 28 battery players are spread across a broad geographic footprint, with Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Anhui emerging as the core industry clusters. In 2025, the battery sector showcased strong job creation and solid profit margins—industry titans continued to pull ahead, while SMEs carved out their own specialized roles. As the EV and energy storage sectors continue their upward trajectory, we anticipate even greater gains in human capital efficiency across the industry.
