Since 2023, several Chinese lithium battery industry chain companies, including CATL, Gotion High-Tech, Sunwoda, BTR, Huayou Cobalt, CNGR Advanced Material and Tinci Materials, have collectively invested in Morocco and built factories. The battery industry chain centered around LFP is forming rapidly.
With the increasing demand for lithium batteries worldwide, the Moroccan government’s initiative to attract investments in the lithium battery industry has gained significant traction. One of the latest developments in this sector is the investment by BTR New Material Group in Morocco.
Tinci Materials plans a factory in Morocco with an annual production of 300,000 tons of lithium battery materials. Huayou Cobalt and LG Energy Solution will co-build a plant in Morocco, one for 50,000 tons of LFP annually and another for 52,000 tons of lithium conversion annually.
In June this year, the Moroccan government announced that Gotion High-Tech would invest $1.3 billion (US) to build a gigafactory for EV batteries. The initial planned production capacity is 20 GWh, with future plans to gradually increase it to 100 GWh, and the total investment is expected to reach $6.5 billion.
The project, led by Chinese company Gotion High-Tech, will place Morocco at the heart of the global clean energy race, transforming the country into a key supplier of batteries for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage.
Huayou Cobalt and LG Energy Solution will co-build a plant in Morocco, one for 50,000 tons of LFP annually and another for 52,000 tons of lithium conversion annually. In addition to abundant phosphate reserves, Morocco also possesses metal resources like cobalt and lithium needed for battery production and has cost advantages.
