SMM May 22nd: the recent price of lithium iron phosphate power is 3.5-37000 yuan / ton, the average price is 36000 yuan / ton, the power market is still slowly recovering, the market trading volume is less, the price has dropped slightly.

In terms of the power market, the domestic passenger car and bus market recovers slowly, and the demand for lithium iron is still not as good as that of the same period last year. In addition, lithium carbonate continues to decline slightly, and the price of lithium iron also falls accordingly. The demand for the quality of iron lithium in the energy storage market is on the low side, many iron lithium enterprises compete for orders, the price of iron lithium battery pack in 5G base station is declining all the way, the overcapacity in iron lithium market is serious, and the price of iron lithium is plummeting, which is basically about 30,000 yuan / ton at present, gradually deviating from the cost line. This year, the purchase volume of iron lithium in the energy storage market is expected to officially open in the second half of the year, and the power market may also increase demand after the sale of new models in the second half of the year. The demand for iron lithium has not changed much in the short term, and prices continue to be under pressure.

Solid-State Battery Next Decade Series, Part 4 of 9: Will It Be Crushed Under the Wheels of PV-Style Industry-Wide Involution? [SMM Analysis]

[SMM Analysis: Solid-State Battery Next Decade Series 9, Part 4: Will It Be Dragged Under the Wheels of PV-Style Industry-Wide Involution?] Solid-state batteries will not face PV-style industry-wide involution in the short term: unconsolidated technology routes, high capital barriers, and yields of only 50%-60% serve as firewalls. From 2027 to 2029, there will be phased risks, including pilot-line surplus and localized price wars on the equipment side; after 2030, if technology routes consolidate, leading capacity is released, and demand growth slows, industry-wide involution could emerge, with intensity likely lower than in PV but with slower market exit. Given the lessons learned from PV, the solid-state battery industry is fully capable of avoiding involution.

Optimize Lithium Battery Industry, Enhance Coastal Urban Agglomerations, and Advance Manufacturing Clusters

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and seven other departments jointly issued the 15th Five-Year Plan for New-Type Battery Industry Development. It proposes optimizing the layout of the lithium battery industry in accordance with the principles of regional agglomeration and concentration of main entities. It guides various regions to leverage their comparative advantages and achieve differentiated and specialized coordinated development. It consolidates and enhances the role of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area as driving forces for high-quality development, better leverages the role of coastal urban agglomerations such as Guangdong-Fujian-Zhejiang, and accelerates the cultivation of advanced manufacturing clusters for new-type batteries. Relying on the industrial foundations of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the Yellow River Basin, and the Northeast region, it promotes the strengthening, supplementation, quality improvement, and upgrading of the new-type battery industry chain. Based on the resources of the central and western regions, it enhances the resilience of the new-type battery industry chain.
