Global energy transition investment set a record of 2.3 trillion US dollars in 2025, with electric transportation becoming the primary growth engine.
BloombergNEF's "Energy Transition Investment Trends" report shows that in 2025 global energy transition investment reached a record $2.3 trillion, up 8% year-on-year. Electric transport became the largest investment sector at $893 billion, surpassing renewable energy ($690 billion) and power grids ($483 billion). Clean energy supply chain investment rose 6% to $127 billion, driven mainly by battery manufacturing and battery materials, but overcapacity continued to weigh on prices. At the regional level, Asia-Pacific accounted for 47% of global investment; China remained in the lead with $800 billion, but its renewable energy investment saw its first decline since 2013; the EU grew 18% to $45.5 billion, and the US grew 3.5% to $37.8 billion. This article analyzes the implications of this shift in capital flows for the global EV industry from the perspectives of the battery supply chain, charging infrastructure, and power grid construction.
