The heatmap shows clear regional specialization in battery job creation. Asia dominates across most value-chain segments, while Europe and North America show growing employment in manufacturing, integration, and recycling driven by localization policies. Africa and South America remain concentrated in upstream raw materials with limited downstream industrialization. The assessment reflects announced and operational capacity, project pipelines, investment activity, and policy frameworks. Upstream ratings capture resource availability and processing intensity, while downstream ratings reflect growth in electric mobility, BESS, and circular-economy activities.
