Maintaining stable growth through solid market power

Samsung SDI has been struggling to improve product quality and to ensure product stability since we started the lithium-ion rechargeable battery business in 2000.Especially we released the world’s first flexible battery, developing leading technology for the next generation. So we could lead in the small-sized battery market. As a result of these efforts, we took the largest market share in the global small-sized battery market in 2014, and based on a B3 report, we have maintained the No. 1 position since 2010, showing our solid market power.
