In 2017, the production of new energy vehicles was 810000, an increase of 56 percent over the same period last year, and the cumulative demand for batteries reached 36.02 million kilowatt-hours of electricity. Battery demand for the period from January to December 2018 was 58.67 million kilowatt-hours, equivalent to a 63 per cent year-on-year increase from a 17-year low growth base.

In 2019, the growth rate of battery charge is much higher than that of the whole vehicle, which also reflects the contribution of the overall strength of new energy vehicles to the battery, and makes a good contribution to the industry.

Judging from the battery installed capacity of different models in the first six months of 2019, the battery demand of passenger cars is very strong, reaching 22.82 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, an increase of nearly 1.5 times, the capacity of bus batteries has decreased from the same period last year, and the demand for electricity for special-purpose vehicles has increased sharply.

Compared with 2018, the average bicycle capacity of passenger cars increased from 28 degrees to 41 degrees in 2019, the average bicycle capacity of passenger cars increased from 161 degrees to 166 degrees, and that of special purpose vehicles increased from 50 degrees to 102 degrees.

Ningde's market share reached 47% from January to June, compared with a sharp increase in 2018, BYD's battery market share was 25%, also up from 2018. As a result of the increase in the installed capacity of the first two battery companies, the share of the third and fifth battery companies fell relatively, from 16% in January-June 2018 to 11% in 2019, while the rest of the intermediate enterprises changed little.

Magnesium Market Holds Up Well as Cost Support and the Tug-of-War Between Sellers and Buyers Continues [SMM Magnesium Weekly Review]
[SMM Magnesium Weekly Review: Magnesium Market Held Up Well, With Cost Support and a Tug-of-War Between Sellers and Buyers Continuing] This week, the overall magnesium industry chain held up well, with prices of all products generally raised. The raw material dolomite market remained stable, with ample supply and steady demand. Magnesium ingot prices consolidated at highs. At the beginning of the week, supported by rising energy costs such as ferrosilicon and coke and tight spot availability, prices jumped by 300 yuan/mt. Subsequently, downstream fear of high prices emerged, transactions failed to keep pace, and prices consolidated at highs. In foreign trade, the center of magnesium ingot FOB quotes moved up to $2,440-2,470/mt. Wait-and-see sentiment outside China remained strong, but influenced by bullish expectations in China, forward orders were gradually locked in. Magnesium powder prices remained firm, with strong cost support. Export data increased YoY, while domestic trade was mainly driven by just-in-time procurement. The benchmark price of magnesium alloy held up well, but the release of new capacity led to increased supply, processing fees stayed in the doldrums, and the market showed a pattern of strong supply and weak demand. Overall, cost support remained the core driver behind magnesium prices fluctuating at highs, while downstream acceptance of high prices was limited, and the market may continue this tug-of-war in the short term.
