Regeneration of dragon said

Can see from the investment M&A events, capital break into lithium battery recycling market is very fierce, especially since 2017, li-ion battery materials production enterprises, power battery production enterprises, the third party recycling companies are overweight layout lithium battery recycling market. Li-ion battery materials supply and demand imbalance is the main cause li-ion battery recycling industry M&A, because her resources can be in an impregnable position.

The lithium battery recycling outlook is another important reason. While from the point of industry development situation, the outbreak of the power battery recycling market period has not yet come, but the market is attractive enough. Power lithium battery recycling 10 billion blue ocean market gradually forming. ndustry report predicts, power battery according to 3-5 years out of fixed number of year, predicts 2018 recycling market is taking shape. According to the calculation, the size of the market in 2018 will reach 2018 yuan, in 2020 reached 10 billion yuan, is expected to reach 25 billion yuan in 2023.

Facing the market, each big enterprise has prepared for managing integration of resources, and grasping the development initiative. Predictably with the further development of new energy automotive industry, the establishment and perfection of recycling system, national policy support for waste lithium battery recycling, lithium battery recycling market integration and the merger drama will be staged. On the other hand, the current, power battery recycling industry is still at groping stage in our country. Power battery recycling way of dealing with environmental protection, safety and dismantling, industry standards and reuse technology are still the common challenges. The extensive involvement of capital may be expected to innovative business model, promote the standardization and the green industry development.
