With the problem of low energy density of lithium iron phosphate battery solved, the market share of lithium iron phosphate battery in the field of new energy passenger vehicles is gradually expanding. Compared with ternary cathode materials, lithium iron phosphate materials take into account both safety and high performance-to-price ratio.
On April 9, Zeng Yuqun, chairman of Ningde Times, said at the sub-event of the 125th anniversary of the founding of Shanghai Jiaotong University that the proportion of lithium iron phosphate batteries will be higher and higher in 3-5 years. "at present, with more and more charging piles, the range of electric vehicles does not need to be that long, because lithium iron phosphate batteries are cheaper, so their growth rate will be very fast, and the proportion of lithium iron phosphate will gradually increase, while ternary batteries will gradually decrease."

Another battery manufacturing leader is actively laying out the optimized version of lithium iron phosphate battery. On the evening of April 7, BYD released four new cars, including Qin PlusEV and 2021 Tang EV, all equipped with blade batteries. Wang Chuanfu, chairman of BYD, said that "from today on, BYD's pure electric models will be fully equipped with blade batteries and acupuncture experiments will be fully used."
By expanding potential customers and building factories at sea, BYD continues to promote the external supply of blade batteries. According to foreign media reports, BYD will start selling car batteries to other companies as early as the second half of this year.
The latest data show that the number of power batteries loaded in China in March is 9.0GWh. Among them, the total loading of ternary batteries was 5.1GWH, up 129% from the same period last year and 53.1% from the previous year; and lithium iron phosphate batteries totaled 3.9GWhh, up 627.9% from the same period last year and 73.7% from the previous year. Although the total installed capacity of the latter is not as good as that of the former, it is growing rapidly.
It is worth noting that the surge in demand for lithium iron phosphate batteries has triggered an increase in the price of upstream raw materials. The price of lithium iron phosphate increased by 29.73% in the first quarter of 2021.
"at present, the mainstream price of power lithium iron phosphate is 46000 ~ 50, 000 yuan / ton, and the mainstream transaction price of energy storage lithium iron phosphate is 42000 ~ 43000 yuan / ton. Compared with the low of 34000 yuan / ton in mid-November 2020, the market price of power lithium iron phosphate has recovered significantly recently, with a cumulative increase of more than 35% in more than four months. " For the recent trend of the lithium iron phosphate market, qu Yinfei, an analyst at Longzhong Information, pointed out on April 10 that although the price is already high, the lithium iron phosphate power market is still performing well, the leading enterprises are still operating at full production, and the overall operating rate of the industry is 65.72%.
What is more noteworthy is that the upstream raw material lithium carbonate has risen much more than lithium iron phosphate, and the price has rapidly doubled since October last year. Now, the cost pressure brought by the price increase is being transmitted to the industrial chain step by step, and the prices of electrolytes and negative materials have increased obviously.
