Develop a regional battery manufacturing value chain, increasing national and regional demand, and establish Southeast Asia as a regional and global export hub, producing 140–180 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of battery cells by 2030.
In little over a decade, Southeast Asia has become one of the world's top exporters of solar power equipment – a success driven significantly by the relocation of Chinese manufacturers to the region. But now, the sector faces considerable challenges as US tariffs cut off their main export market, intensifying pressure on a previously booming trade.
Growing Southeast Asia's solar photovoltaic (PV) cells, battery, and electric two-wheeler industries presents an estimated $90 billion to $100 billion revenue opportunity by 2030, with a potential 6 million renewable energy jobs to be created by 2050.
The solar sector is just one aspect of a broader trend of Chinese manufacturing investments reshaping Southeast Asia. Investments in the 10 countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) reached USD 17.6 billion in 2023, according to a recent report by the Asia Society, a US-based think-tank.
Southeast Asia is a solar PV manufacturing hub with 2 per cent – 3 per cent of the world''s polysilicon and wafer capacity and 9 per cent–10 per cent of the world''s cells and modules capacity.
