CATL and BYD are the two largest EV battery manufacturers in the world, but their business models are structurally opposite. CATL is a pure-play cell supplier — its customers include Tesla, BMW, Volkswagen, and dozens of others. BYD is vertically integrated: it designs, manufactures, and installs its own Blade LFP cells exclusively in BYD vehicles. CATL's model provides scale and diversification. BYD's model provides margin control and faster iteration cycles. The question of which structure wins long-term depends heavily on whether battery chemistry advantages can be sustained or whether all cells converge to commodity economics.
