Overview Of Cell & Pack Manufacturers’ Margins

Overview Of Cell & Pack Manufacturers’ Margins

Margin Analysis Gross margins steadily declined over the last 5 years as material prices pressured midstream suppliers like cathode and anode manufacturers, which in turn reduced cell & pack manufacturing margins. Notably, CATL exhibited a linear decline from 30% to sub-20% gross margins, while net margins expanded aggressively as non-cost of goods sold expenses plateaued as a direct result of an expansion in economies of scale.
