Starting from BYD Company Limited, we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
Grid-Scale Battery Storage (LFP/Li-ion) →Stands to benefitChina accounts for 75% of this input's supply share, and the new Hubei battery-pack project adds capacity inside that dominant source country, so China benefits from higher grid-scale battery output.
82% confidenceBYD Company →supply upvehicle production
BYD said battery production was ramping and adding monthly vehicle capacity, so newly online pack capacity should ease the battery bottleneck and increase vehicle output.
“Chairman Wang Chuanfu told shareholders on June 9 that the first quarter of 2025 marked a trough for the new-car market and that Blade battery production has been ramping since March, adding 20,000 to 30,000 vehicles of monthly capacity.”
66% confidenceCited →Gotion High-Tech (Guoxuan High-Tech) →supply upGrid-Scale Battery Storage (LFP Lithium Iron Phosphate)
A new battery-pack project coming online at Gotion should raise available output of its LFP battery-storage products, though the market-wide effect is moderated by its 7% share.
62% confidenceBYD Company Limited →Prices riseLithium-ion battery cells (prismatic, cylindrical, pouch)
A new battery-pack plant coming online increases demand for the cells that go into packs, which can put upward pressure on BYD's lithium-ion cell input market.

Grid-Scale Battery Storage (LFP Lithium Iron Phosphate) →supply upChina already accounts for 73% of this supply node, so new production coming online in Hubei should increase China’s overall supply of LFP grid-scale battery storage.
88% confidenceLithium-ion battery cells (prismatic, cylindrical, pouch) →Stands to benefitContemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited300750.SZ
Higher battery-pack output should lift orders for lithium-ion cells, and CATL's 37% share makes it a primary beneficiary.

Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited →Prices riseLithium-ion battery cells (prismatic, cylindrical, pouch)
A new battery-pack project should raise demand for lithium-ion cells, and CATL is a major supplier of these cells, so the cell market tightens and pricing pressure rises.
67% confidenceLG Energy Solution, Ltd. →Prices riseLithium-ion battery cells (prismatic, cylindrical, pouch)
If the new battery-pack capacity increases demand flowing to LG Energy Solution, its demand for prismatic/cylindrical/pouch cell inputs rises, putting upward price pressure on a 14% share supply with a 12-month replacement horizon.
