Positive production in March 2024 increased by 55% compared to the previous month, with growth expected to slow down to 16% in April. The total production of the four main materials in March increased by 55%, with the growth in iron-lithium materials at 70%. In March, orders for iron-lithium companies gradually recovered, with significant increases in orders for top iron-lithium companies, leading to increased production and supply. The growth in ternary materials was 33%, with medium-nickel materials being a hot product in the market, maintaining significant growth in March. Low-nickel and high-nickel materials also saw a recovery from the low point in February. Lithium cobaltate and lithium manganate achieved an environmental increase of 44% and 26% respectively.
In April, it is expected that the overall month-on-month increase in the four main materials will be 16%, with iron-lithium materials leading among the four main materials.

1 Billion m²/Year Dry-Process Separator Project For Lithium/Sodium Batteries Lands In Nanning

Recently, Nanning Urban Construction Investment Group and Huahui New Material Technology Co., Ltd. signed an agreement for the lithium/sodium battery dry-process separator intelligent manufacturing project. The total investment for the project is approximately 500 million yuan. It plans to build a new production line with an annual capacity of 1 billion square meters of dry-process separators for lithium/sodium batteries. The project will introduce Guangxi's first new-generation dry-process uniaxial stretching and 4.2-meter-wide biaxial stretching battery separator production line. It is expected that upon reaching full capacity, the annual output value will be approximately 800 million yuan, creating 170 jobs, and establishing the first battery base film production base in Guangxi.
