An SMM survey showed that the average operating rate across lead-acid battery producers in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hubei and Hebei provinces averaged 10.33% in the week ended February 14

SHANGHAI, Feb 14 (SMM) – Leading lead-acid battery producers in China resumed production this week, but their recovery was subdued at 20-30% as transportation and travel restrictions and quarantines lingered.

An SMM survey showed that the average operating rate across lead-acid battery producers in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hubei and Hebei provinces averaged 10.33% in the week ended February 14, recovering from zero last week.

SMM added more companies to its survey, bringing the ratio of surveyed capacity to the total across the five regions to 66.5%.

The average operating rate is set to increase further next week, as smaller battery producers will gradually resume production.

The power rationing and maintenance continued to limit the domestic supply of primary lead, while the consumption recovered, which will support the lead prices at a high level in the short term.

Operating rate at major aluminium processors continued to drop, affected by power curtailment in Henan

Operating rates across major aluminium processors decreased 1.8 percentage points from a week ago to 70.7% last week. The main reason is that the power load in Henan is too high, prompting the province to impose staggered power use, affecting production at local aluminium plate, strip, foil and wire & cable producers.
