Last year, China's lithium battery negative electrode material market output reached 146,000 tons

Recently, some institutional research shows that in 2017, China's lithium battery market reached 80.5 GWh, a year-on-year increase of 27.0 <UNK>, driving the output of lithium battery negative electrode materials to increase by 23.7 <UNK> year-on-year, reaching 146,000 tons.

In 2017, China's lithium battery negative material market output reached 146,000 tons

According to analysis, the main reasons why China's lithium battery negative material market has maintained a steady growth rate in 2017 are as follows: The market growth is mainly driven by the growth of the power battery market. In 2017, China's output of new energy vehicles increased by 44.5 % year-on-year, reaching 44.5 GWh. Main growth points of dynamic artificial graphite cathode materials market; Enterprises represented by Beiterui, Jiangxi Zichen, and Shanghai shanshan have maintained an increase in exports, especially Zichen. With the release of its production capacity, the export volume to Japanese and Korean companies has increased significantly.

In the next three years, the competitive pattern of power battery enterprises in China will change greatly, and the demand of power battery for negative electrode materials is much greater than that of 3C digital batteries, and the proportion of artificial graphite application will become higher and higher. Attracted by the vast application prospects, a number of negative material enterprises increased production capacity in 2017, and a number of new entrants entered the company. GGII believes that in the next three years, the competition in the negative material market will be further intensified, low-end repetitive production capacity will be eliminated, and companies with core technology and superior customer channels will be able to achieve significant development. Market concentration will be improved.
