Details

This research developed a methodology to map the UK battery sector and provided detailed data on company financial information, industrial activities, and geographic data.

The project used:

• publicly available directories
• internal data sources
• systematic desk research
• advice from government and industry stakeholders
• interviews with companies

This enabled the development of a comprehensive database covering companies across the UK battery sector.

Where data was unavailable, an estimation methodology using Office for National Statistics (ONS) statistics was developed. This report details the methodology and key findings from this research.
