SMM, June 24:

 

According to a survey by SMM (SMM), this week (June 27-July 3) the weekly operating rate of SMM recycled lead smelters in the four provinces was 52.0%, up 1.6% from last week.

Among them, the operating rate of Henan recycled lead licensed smelting enterprises is 50.9%, and that of Jiangsu recycled lead licensed smelting enterprises is 53.3%, which is the same as last week. Due to the tight supply of waste batteries, it is difficult to purchase at low prices, and it is difficult to fluctuate the operating rate of recycled lead enterprises. Anhui recycled lead licensed smelting enterprises have an operating rate of 48.4%, an increase of 3.2% compared with last week, and almost all of their production capacity has been released due to the increase in Anhui Dahua production. The operating rate of licensed smelting enterprises for recycled lead in Guizhou was 59%, up 2.5% from last week, mainly due to the completion of maintenance in Xinkaida, Guizhou, and an increase in daily output this week.

Recovery Stalled, Supply-Demand Divergence: Secondary Lead Output Rebounded in March — Will Growth Hold in April?
In Q1 2026, China's secondary lead market navigated through turbulence amid holiday effects and industry difficulties.

Looking ahead to April, although large smelters are expected to resume production in a concentrated manner……
