Hundreds of billions of markets explode! Lithium battery is good again!

SMM survey: what kind of metal do you like most in 2022?

Compared with hot electric cars, electric two-wheelers seem to receive less attention.

But this is not the case. According to iResearch, the market size of electric two-wheelers in China will reach 104.6 billion yuan in 2020. The contribution to the scale growth of electric two-wheelers from 2021 to 2023 is mainly from the sales growth caused by the replacement of the new GB standard. It is estimated that the market size of electric two-wheelers will reach 144.3 billion yuan in 2022.

At the same time, with the approach of the transition period of the "new national standard" in various places, about 250 million two-wheeled electric vehicles exceeding the standard will face withdrawal and replacement from 2021. The transition period introduced by various places is mainly concentrated between 2021 and 2023. After the transition period, all vehicles exceeding the standard are not allowed to run on the road, which means that the replacement target of most of the stock should be completed within three years.

Thus it can be seen that the electric two-wheeler has ushered in a new tuyere and become a new hundreds of billions of blue ocean market.

Strive to create a base of hundreds of billions of new energy electric vehicles

However, the second round of travel this high-frequency, large user base, incremental market, lithium electrification currently accounts for less than 5%, lithium electrification has a long way to go. Based on the new national standard, market, performance-to-price ratio and other multi-wheel drive, the lead-to-lithium speed of two-wheeled electric vehicles is accelerated, coupled with the high demand for lithium batteries at the export of shared motorcycles and electric two-wheeled vehicles, the permeability of lithium batteries in the two-wheeled vehicle market will increase year by year, and the power lithium battery is currently accelerating to pry into this huge market.

On December 14, the official media reported that in recent years, the new energy electric vehicle industry in Guigang has made great progress.

Up to now, the China-ASEAN new energy electric vehicle production base has signed a contract to introduce nearly 100 electric vehicle enterprises, and more than 50 have been completed and put into production. Emma, Tailing, Luyuan, Oupai, immediately and other enterprises have entered one after another, forming an annual production capacity of 4 million two-wheeled electric vehicles, 500000 three-wheeled electric vehicles, and 5 million sets of spare parts, with a local matching rate of 80%, and a relatively perfect industrial chain has been established. Electric motors, plastic parts and other key components sell well all over the country and exported to ASEAN countries, which has launched the brand of "good trams made in Guigang".

It is estimated that in 2021, Guigang City will produce 2.6 million new energy electric vehicles, with a total output value of 6 billion yuan above scale, a total output value of more than 10 billion yuan of the whole industry chain, and a tax revenue of about 120 million yuan.

At the same time, Guigang City is vigorously cultivating new energy (smart) automobile and electric vehicle industry clusters around the goal of speeding up the construction of the core port city and strategic emerging industrial city of the Pearl River-Xijiang Economic Belt. Efforts will be made to create a national influential manufacturing base of hundreds of billions of yuan of new energy (smart) cars and electric vehicles.

Rapid development of lithium electricity market for two-wheeled vehicles

According to data released jointly by EVTank and Ivy Economic Research Institute, the total production of electric two-wheeled vehicles in China in 2020 was 48.34 million, an increase of 27.2% over the same period last year, and the cumulative social ownership has reached 340 million.

In 2021, it is almost certain that the output of electric two-wheelers in China will continue to develop at a high speed. Because the five companies with the largest market share in the electric two-wheeler industry, Yadi, Emma, Xinri, Tailing and small knife, have set sales or production targets for 2021 at the beginning of this year.

Yadi's sales target is 16 million vehicles, Emma's sales target is 16 million-18 million vehicles, Tailing's sales goal is to guarantee 8 million vehicles, the target is 10 million vehicles, and the sales target of knives is 10.01 million vehicles. Xinri, which did not publicly disclose its sales target, also pointed out its capacity layout of 10 million vehicles in 2021.

This is only the sales forecast of the electric two-wheeler head enterprise in 2021. If you add in the sales of Luyuan, Golden Arrow, immediate, Xinlei and other companies, the overall sales of China's electric two-wheelers are expected to double in 2021 compared with 2020!

Correspondingly, the demand for lithium batteries for electric two-wheelers will double!

Seize the hundreds of billions of grade market

Market data show that in 2019, when the new national standard was just implemented, China's shipments of lithium batteries for two-wheeled vehicles reached 5.6 GWH, an increase of 62% over the same period last year. In 2020, China's shipments of lithium batteries for electric two-wheeled vehicles went even further, reaching 10.7 GWH, an increase of 91.1% over the same period last year.

At the same time, public data show that the average daily number of two-wheel trips in China is more than 1 billion, including 700 million electric vehicles (including shared scooters). The number of electric bicycles and motorcycles has reached 400 million, with an annual increase of 46 million.

Based on the huge increment of electric two-wheelers and the further improvement of lithium electrochemical permeability, there have been more and more entrants in recent years, including vehicle companies, shared motorcycles, battery companies, and other fields.

Foxconn will accelerate Gogoro's global expansion by introducing new manufacturing capacity and scale to Gogoro battery switching technology and electric smart scooters.

In April, Gogoro announced a partnership with Hero MotoCorp, India's largest motorcycle maker, and in May, Gogoro announced a partnership with China's Cheung Kong Group and Yadi to develop new models with replaceable battery packs.

It is reported that Gogoro claims to have nearly 400000 customers and 2100 battery exchange stations, and currently carries out 270000 battery replacements a day, with a cumulative total of nearly 200 million battery replacements. Among them are both the company's own models and third-party electric motorcycles.

Summary

Electric two-wheeler, as a consumer product with high frequency, rigid demand and large user base, undoubtedly has a huge market. but today's two-wheeler market is no longer the original barbaric growth, the "new national standard" directly promotes the electric two-wheeler enterprises to pay attention to "lithium electrification + intelligence".

At the same time, consumers always pay most attention to the three core issues of "mileage, safety and price". Only by developing products that satisfy consumers based on the actual demand, can we "capture" hundreds of billions of blue ocean.
