Huayu cobalt industry believes that in terms of demand, the new energy vehicle industry will maintain rapid development. China has proposed to account for about 25% of the sales of new energy vehicles by 2025. Britain will ban the sale of fuel vehicles by five years to 2035. Germany has significantly increased subsidies for new energy vehicles, and the United States has also proposed a tax credit for buying cars. The global market share of new energy vehicles rose to 2.5% in 2019, up from 2.1%. With the rapid development of 5G industry, the demand for consumer electronics will reach the bottom. According to IDC, nearly 100m 5G intelligent terminals will be shipped in 2020, and by 2023, the annual shipment of 5G terminal products will exceed 400m units. The supply side of cobalt mine is less than expected, and the construction or shutdown of new construction, technical transformation and expansion of cobalt mine projects have also been delayed. The contraction of the supply side will have a certain supporting effect on the price.
