Last year, CATL witnessed its annual sales volume of lithium ion batteries jump 14.36% from a year ago to 46.84GWh. As the main income contributor of CATL, the power battery system unit recorded 44.45GWh (+10.43% YoY) in annual sales, which resulted in 39.426 billion yuan ($6.079 billion) for the revenue.

The company announced its 2020 installed capacity of power batteries reached 31.9GWh, amounting to 50% of China's total volume.

The gross margin in the sales of power battery systems stood at 26.56% in 2020, dropping 1.89 percentage points over the year-ago period. The company attributed the decrease to a combined result from the changes of the unit selling price and the unit cost in procuring raw materials.
