The batteries market is BYD's second major revenue stream. Although BYD started with batteries manufacturing, it has seen a great shift in recent years towards the EV market where business is much more profitable. Despite this, BYD remains a major player in the batteries market, cementing its place among well-known brands LG and Samsung. In July 2022, BYD overtook LG to become the second largest battery maker, with a market share of 16.1%, compared to LG's 11.1% and leader CATL's 33.4%. With the EV market rapidly growing and BYD contributing to energy storage projects all over the world, this market share is expected to grow further.

=== Intense Competition in the Chinese Market: ===
=== Intense Competition in the Chinese Market: ===
The Chinese new energy vehicle market is experiencing rapid growth, attracting numerous players seeking to maximize their interests. Beijing Automotive Group, Geely, and other Chinese independent brands have made significant strides in developing EVs, posing a direct threat to BYD's market share. Additionally, well-established foreign automakers like Tesla, BMW, and Volkswagen, backed by substantial financial and technological resources, also compete for a share of this vast market. To stay ahead, BYD must not only focus on product quality but also refine its product after-sales and marketing strategies to retain customer loyalty and attract new buyers.

=== Subsidy-Driven Market Dynamics: ===
=== Subsidy-Driven Market Dynamics: ===
Government subsidies play a crucial role in the Chinese EV market, encouraging consumers to adopt eco-friendly vehicles. Although BYD has benefited from subsidies, it faces stiff competition from other brands, particularly Tesla, which has secured significant financial support from various countries. This is evident from the fact that over the past 20 years, Tesla has successfully obtained various government subsidies, including tax breaks, loans, and other incentives, adding up to nearly $3 billion. Additionally, in 2020, Tesla's eligibility for significant financial support in China is highlighted by the substantial 2.1 billion yuan subsidy it received exclusively for new energy vehicles. These subsidies have helped Tesla and other competitors narrow the advantage that BYD might have gained, making it imperative for BYD to rely on continuous innovation and improvement rather than relying solely on subsidies.

=== Threats from Competitors: ===
=== Threats from Competitors: ===
While BYD has managed to establish a prominent position in the Chinese auto market, the emergence of new players, such as Great Wall Motor, poses a challenge to its dominance. Additionally, global automotive giants like Toyota, Honda, and General Motors have also made substantial investments in research and development of new energy vehicles, potentially overtaking BYD's technological leadership. Furthermore, BYD's strong emphasis on independent research, development, and innovation, there are certain disparities between their technology and some international counterparts. BYD has not been particularly successful in assimilating cutting-edge technologies from global sources. In comparison, Tesla has established partnerships with numerous companies, enabling it to benefit from collaborations. Notably, approximately 50% of Tesla's batteries are supplied by CATL and LG, while Nidec Corp provides the Tesla motor. These esteemed manufacturers have played a crucial role in elevating Tesla's vehicle quality to exceptional levels.

The revenue has grown rapidly since 2018 with the exception of 2019 where negative revenue (CNY -127.74B) and growth rate was observed (-1.78%).

Analysts predict that the revenue can optimistically grow up to 1.4T in 2024 and 2025. However, more pessimistic forecasts suggest that 2024 and 2025 may witness a negative growth of -10.6% and -23.7% respectively for the first time since 2019. On average, the revenue is expected to grow for the next three years but at a slower rate compared to the previous three years.

Between 2021 and 2022, some of the financial ratios have changed drastically. The Debt/EBITDA ratio has decreased by 70% from 1.63 to 0.49 as the company's earnings has increased significantly in relation to its debt, putting the business in a better position to pay off the incurred debt. <ref>[https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/debt_edbitda.asp#:~:text=Debt%2FEBITDA%E2%80%94earnings%20before%20interest,pay%20off%20its%20incurred%20debt. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/debt_edbitda.asp#:~:text=Debt%2FEBITDA%E2%80%94earnings%20before%20interest,pay%20off%20its%20incurred%20debt.]</ref>
The Debt/FCF ratio has also plummeted from 1.26 to 0.5 by 60%. This is another coverage ratios which reinforces that the cash generated by the company puts it in a healthy position to cover all its debt. <ref>https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/cash-flowtodebt-ratio.asp</ref>
The return on equity has increased by 11.77% in 2022. Return on equity is the ratio of net income to shareholder's equity. Higher net income stems from the growth in revenue which ultimately increases the return on equity. <ref>https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/returnonequity.asp</ref>
The significant growth in revenue over last year fuels the optimistic forecasts (for revenue and EPS) and the substantial changes observed in the financial ratios. The new product range offered by BYD to its customers that are looking for an affordable transition to electric vehicles, entry into the European market and government policies promoting the transition to sustainable transportation have been the fundamental driving factors in revenue growth observed since 2021.
