Indonesia Battery Companies Matrix by Mordor Intelligence

Our comprehensive proprietary performance metrics of key Indonesia Battery players beyond traditional revenue and ranking measures

The MI Matrix can diverge from simple revenue rankings because it rewards on-the-ground readiness, product cadence since 2023, and the ability to deliver reliably across Indonesian buyer types. It also weighs visible asset commitment, practical channel reach, and proof of repeatable quality more than headline scale. For Indonesia buyers, lithium-ion and lead-acid remain the two anchor chemistries, with use split across two-wheelers, cars, electronics, and backup power for telecom and UPS. Shortlisting providers usually comes down to cycle life, warranty handling, local service coverage, and predictable lead times during demand spikes. Mordor Intelligence's MI Matrix is better for supplier and competitor evaluation than revenue tables alone because it ties positioning to capabilities that directly affect delivery, quality risk, and adoption timing in Indonesia.

Analysis of Indonesia Battery Companies and Quadrants in the MI Competitive Matrix

Comprehensive positioning breakdown

GS Yuasa Corporation

Factory scale in Karawang and Semarang raises the bar on delivery speed and warranty support. Established ownership ties in Indonesia link the business to a major OEM-aligned group, and PT GS Battery states capacity above 20 million units per year, which supports SLI and related segments. Indonesia's push for reliable backup power matches Yuasa's focus on storage systems and maintenance services and can deepen recurring revenue. If EV adoption accelerates faster than expected, the company can convert brand trust into higher-value chemistries. The main risk is lead and import input volatility tightening margins.

Leaders

Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited

USD 6.0 billion buildout signals intent to become a leading vendor for EV and storage systems in Indonesia. The planned integrated project spans mining, materials, cell production, and recycling, with Indonesian operations discussed as ramping from an initial 6.9 GWh toward 15 GWh, and potentially more if storage demand scales. Local content expectations and permitting pace will shape the real timeline, so execution discipline matters as much as technology. If demand softens, the project can still pivot toward stationary storage buyers who value scale and cost curves. The largest risk is schedule slip from approvals and infrastructure readiness.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose between lithium-ion and lead-acid for backup power in Indonesia?

Lithium-ion usually wins on weight, cycle life, and faster recharge. Lead-acid often wins when upfront budget and simple serviceability matter most.

What should fleets check before signing an SLI supply agreement?

Ask for warranty terms in writing, failure rate handling, and service turnaround time by city. Also confirm fresh stock rules and core return expectations.

What makes an EV battery partner "ready" in Indonesia today?

Look for local value add plans, clear permitting progress, and a credible ramp schedule. Also check whether the partner can support safety testing and recall processes locally.

How do telecom and UPS buyers reduce battery downtime risk?

Standardize on a small number of models, then monitor health and temperature consistently. Require proof of traceability so root-cause analysis is possible when failures occur.

What is the biggest near-term risk for battery buyers in Indonesia?

Commodity swings and import dependence can disrupt pricing and availability, especially for lead and lithium inputs. Diversifying approved vendors and holding safety stock can reduce exposure.

When should buyers prefer a provider with local manufacturing over a pure importer?

Local plants help when lead times and warranty swaps must be fast, especially for fleet and workshop demand. Importers can still work well for niche formats with stable replenishment cycles.


Methodology

Research approach and analytical framework

Data Sourcing & Research Approach

Used company investor materials, official corporate pages, and credible news coverage for 2023+ developments. This approach works for public and private firms by relying on filings where available and observable signals elsewhere. When direct Indonesia financial detail was limited, the scoring emphasized assets, certifications, and disclosed project commitments. Conflicting signals were triangulated across multiple sources.

Impact Parameters
1
Presence

Local plants, warehouses, and dealer coverage determine lead times for SLI, portable, and industrial backup buyers.

2
Brand

Workshop and OEM trust drives repeat purchase, warranty acceptance, and safety perception for lithium-ion and lead-acid formats.

3
Share

Relative standing inferred from OEM supply ties, installed base, and Indonesia shipment scale signals.

Execution Scale Parameters
1
Operations

GWh plans, plant count, and certified processes indicate ability to supply spikes in automotive and stationary backup.

2
Innovation

New cell formats, deep-cycle designs, and ESS integration introduced since 2023 show readiness for changing applications.

3
Financials

Ability to fund inventory, capex, and compliance costs in Indonesia supports continuity through commodity swings.
