South Korean firms LG Energy Solution Ltd., Samsung SDI Co., and SK On Co. hold nearly half of the world market for electric vehicle batteries excluding China; however, the nation's finance ministry stated that supply chain diversification and "internationalization" of raw material procurement channels are urgently needed.
Under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) program, which was implemented in the US in 2022, South Korean authorities plan to help businesses get tax incentives in the US.

The US also put a ban earlier this month on the use of Chinese parts in batteries for businesses obtaining IRA tax credits.
