Hong Kong, July 17, 2025 – The center of gravity for the global energy supply chain has shifted. At the inaugural Battery Show Asia 2025 (TBSA), held at AsiaWorld-Expo, the data was definitive: with 17,893 professional buyers from 132 countries, Asia is no longer just the world’s factory—it is the hub of the global “Battery Economy”.
The Big Picture: Co-located with Mobility Tech Asia, the event served as a critical bridge between Eastern manufacturing might and Western market demand. Hosted by Informa Markets, the show convened 314 global exhibitors, creating a “powerful international platform” for unveiling breakthrough storage technologies.
Key Takeaways:
- Global Convergence: The event broke regional silos. With 59.7% of buyers coming from international markets (outside Hong Kong), the show validated Hong Kong’s role as the “Super Connector” for the energy transition.
- Decision-Maker Density: This was not just a technical showcase; it was a deal-making venue. The post-show report reveals that over 23% of attendees held C-Level or General Management positions, signaling high-level capital commitment to battery evolution.
- The Full Lifecycle: The narrative moved beyond simple production. Discussions led by giants like CATL, Siemens, and Panasonic focused on the entire value chain—from raw materials to recycling and “circular loops” defining the new battery economy.
The Bottom Line: For global investors, TBSA 2025 demonstrated that the battery sector is maturing into a standalone economic engine. The massive turnout suggests that the next phase of growth will be defined by cross-border partnerships and integrated supply chains rather than isolated competition.
What’s Next: The organizers confirmed the event will return to Hong Kong earlier next year, scheduled for March 10-12, 2026.
Official Partners: AIPressRoom joined the global battery and mobility ecosystem as a Media Partner for TBSA 2025.
