Methodology

How the estimates were built: data sources, modelling approach and validation steps.

Research approach

A market size is a claim about the world, and a claim is only as good as the route to it. Every study is built upward from units and prices — what is actually produced, sold or performed, at what it actually changes hands for — rather than from a headline figure divided downwards. Disclosed company revenue is then used to check that build, not to produce it.

Market size estimation, this report

The estimate is built upward from the number of production lines ordered each year, by equipment stage (electrode coating and calendering, cell stacking or winding, formation and aging, pack assembly) and the realized average selling price per line at each automation level. Line counts are derived from announced cell and pack manufacturing capacity in gigawatt-hours and a modeled equipment-to-capacity ratio. This bottom-up build is checked against disclosed capital expenditure and equipment order backlogs reported by GS Yuasa, Panasonic, Samsung SDI, LG Chem and Contemporary Amperex Technology in their capacity-expansion disclosures. Where the two diverge, the bottom-up line-count or price assumption is corrected; the disclosed capex figure is a check on the build, not a second estimate averaged into it.

The four stages

The same sequence runs behind every published study, whatever the industry. The order matters as much as the steps: the segment axes are fixed before any number is collected, so the model is never reshaped to fit whatever data happens to turn up.

What the build rests on, and what checks it

The two are not interchangeable. The left column produces the number; the right column tests it. When the check disagrees with the build, the answer is to find which bottom-up assumption is wrong — a unit count, a price, a take-up rate — not to split the difference between them.

The bottom-up build rests on
  • Volume actually transacted — units produced, installed, dispensed or procedures performed, counted at the level each is genuinely recorded
  • Realised pricing by tier and channel, rather than one blended average applied across the whole market
  • Take-up and frequency: how much of the addressable base buys, and how often it repeats
The build is checked against
  • Disclosed revenue of the companies serving the market, where filings separate it far enough to be usable
  • Buyer-side spending totals — capital budgets, procurement lines, or the output of the end market the product is bought against
  • Trade and customs flows, where the product crosses borders in a separately recorded form

Data sources

Published data establishes what happened. Only the people transacting in a market can say why, and what is about to change — so the two are collected separately and weighted differently.

Primary — who is interviewed
  • Commercial and product leadership at the companies that supply the market
  • Procurement and specification leads at the organisations that buy it
  • Distributors, integrators and channel partners, where the market is served indirectly
  • Regulatory and standards specialists, where approval governs what can be sold at all
Secondary — what is read
  • Company filings, annual reports and investor disclosure
  • Government statistics, customs records and regulatory registers
  • Trade association output and standards-body publications
  • Technical and peer-reviewed literature, where the market rests on a clinical or engineering claim
Primary research design, this report

Interviews target equipment sourcing and procurement leads at cell and pack manufacturers, process engineering managers responsible for line specification, systems integrators who install and commission automated lines, and regulatory or certification specialists who track battery safety approvals tied to new equipment qualification. Sourcing and process roles are weighted more heavily than finance roles, since equipment specification decisions, not budget approval, determine which chemistry, automation level and line configuration are actually ordered. Geographic sampling emphasizes China, South Korea, Japan, the United States and Germany, reflecting where gigafactory capacity is concentrated, with lighter coverage in Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe as new capacity is announced there.

Secondary sources, this report

Desk research draws on national investment-promotion agency trackers of announced gigafactory and cell-plant capacity, IEC 62660 and UL 1642 battery safety certification registers that flag new line qualifications, HS code 8479.89 machinery trade and customs data for cross-border equipment shipments, and named equipment and cell-maker annual reports and capital expenditure disclosures. Government program filings under the US Inflation Reduction Act Section 45X credit and the EU Battery Regulation's due-diligence registries are used to corroborate the pace and location of new capacity additions that in turn drive equipment orders.

Desk research runs across proprietary research databases including Factiva, OneSource and Hoovers alongside the public sources above. Modelling and statistical validation are run in SAS and SPSS.

Forecasting

The forecast is not a growth rate applied to a base year. It is built from the drivers that are expected to change, each one stated so a reader can disagree with it.

Forecast approach, this report

The forecast is built from announced gigawatt-hour capacity additions by year and region, converted to equipment line counts through the same equipment-to-capacity ratio used in the base-year build, then adjusted for the automation adoption curve and for the gradual decline in average equipment unit prices as suppliers standardize designs. Any single year's forecast is normalized to remove distortion from one unusually large announced order, spreading its equipment demand across the plant's actual commissioning schedule. For the forecast to hold, announced capacity additions must convert to firm equipment orders roughly on their stated timeline, without a sudden shift to a battery chemistry that requires substantially different line configurations.

Triangulation and validation

No figure enters a report on the strength of one source. Where the two sizing routes disagree the difference is not averaged away — the assumption causing it is isolated, tested against a third independent measure, and either corrected or carried forward as a stated limitation. Historical years are back-tested against the growth actually recorded before any forecast is allowed to run forward from them.

Validation, this report

Modeled 2020-2024 revenue was back-tested against known industry capital expenditure and equipment order data for those years to confirm the bottom-up build tracks recorded activity rather than diverging from it. Segment share shifts, including the rising share of fully automatic lines and of lithium-ion-focused equipment, were reviewed against process engineers' own account of which lines their facilities are ordering now. Sensitivities were tested against a slower electric vehicle adoption path, which pushes out announced capacity timelines, and against an earlier shift toward solid-state battery formats, which would strand orders for current-generation equipment ahead of schedule.

Confidence and limitations

Where an estimate is firm and where it is not is stated rather than left to be inferred from the precision of the number.

Confidence framing, this report

Confidence is strongest for lithium-ion and electric-vehicle-linked equipment segments, where capacity announcements and capital expenditure disclosures from named cell makers are frequent and specific. It is weaker for nickel metal hydride and nickel cadmium equipment, which see little standalone disclosure, and for country-level splits in the Middle East, Africa and Latin America, where reporting on new capacity is thin. The main structural risk to this estimate is an earlier-than-modeled commercialization of solid-state battery formats, which would require different line specifications and could shift equipment orders away from the configurations this estimate is built around.
