Destocking of cobalt sulphate slowed in March, with inventory down 488 mt in metal content. Demand did not recover to pre-CNY level, while supply recovered rapidly to 4,301 mt in metal content.

SHANGHAI, Apr 14 (SMM) — Destocking of cobalt sulphate slowed in March, with inventory down 488 mt in metal content. Demand did not recover to pre-CNY level, while supply recovered rapidly to 4,301 mt in metal content.

The average monthly price of cobalt sulphate was 91,000 yuan/mt in March, an increase of 11% month-on-month and 75% year-on-year. The price of cobalt sulphate showed a trend of rise-stable-fall. Destocking slowed down and transaction was sporadic, weighing on prices.

Destocking is expected to pick up in April. However, lower prices of intermediate products and recycled scrap and delay in downstream purchases may weigh on the price of cobalt sulphate in April.

Why there is a Mismatch between Demand and Supply in New Energy Raw Materials?

In the past 2021, China's new energy industry developed rapidly, and the demand for the new energy vehicle market was greatly increased. According to the record of 2021, the global cumulative sales of new energy passenger cars exceeded 6.31 million, more than 2.2 times that of 2020. China has accounted for 52% of the global shares of new energy vehicles, with 3.312 million vehicles sold, up 275% year-on-year. Meanwhile, the installed capacity of motive power lithium batteries reached 154.5GWh, up 143% year-on-year, in 2021.

Domestic Demand for Cobalt Sulphate Declined due to Power Rationing and Fewer Orders from LG

China’s cobalt sulphate output stood at 5,335 mt in metal content in September, down 6% MoM, but up 37% YoY. Some companies received notices of power rationing in late September. The production of cobalt sulphate was less affected than that of cathode materials due to lower energy consumption. Although the cobalt intermediate product costs of domestic smelters increased in October due to rising cobalt prices overseas, most companies are expected to increase their production schedules. China’s cobalt sulphate output is estimated at 5,515 mt in metal content in October, up 3% MoM and 35% YoY.
