This week, the second-life battery cell market maintained overall stable pricing. Cost side, lithium carbonate prices fluctuated upward this week, nickel sulphate prices rose steadily, while cobalt sulphate prices continued their weak downward trend. Overall raw material futures showed divergent trends, but the strengthening of lithium and nickel categories will raise battery cell recycling and processing production costs. However, there is a certain time lag in the top-down transmission of raw material price changes to the battery cell market, forming strong bottom support for the market. Supply side, at the current stage, the overall supply volume of second-life and Grade A/B battery for well-known mobile phone cell markets remained stable, battery cell enterprises maintained orderly shipments pace, market circulating sources showed no significant incremental changes, and the supply side maintained a loose and balanced pattern overall, causing no notable disturbance to prices. Demand side, with the Labour Day holiday approaching, some downstream enterprises initiated pre-holiday restocking and stockpiling activities, driving a slight recovery in rigid market demand. However, driven by earlier high-cost transmission, second-life battery market prices had already risen notably last week, and current overall price levels were already in a relatively high level range. End-user willingness to accept high-priced sources was weak, with cautious attitudes toward purchasing at high prices. The demand side could hardly continue to drive prices to rise, with most participants purchasing as needed. Under the counterbalance of multiple factors, second-life battery market prices basically maintained a sideways and steady trend this week.
