It is expected that the industrialisation of sodium batteries will further accelerate in the future.

According to the news released by Natrium Energy, on the morning of June 9, the completion and commissioning of major projects in the second quarter and the signing ceremony were held in Yuecheng and Binhai District of Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province. Among them, the 80,000 mt of sodium-ion battery cathode material project of Natrium Energy was approved by the Binhai New Area Management Committee, and the contract was officially signed at this conference.  (https://www.itdcw.com/news/qiye/06141293912022.html)

Che Haiying, chairman of Natrium Energy, said that the company plans to complete the production of 3,000 mt of cathode materials and 5,000 mt of electrolyte this year. It is expected that in the next 3-5 years, the company will build 80,000 mt of cathode materials and supporting electrolyte production lines in stages to promote the development of the sodium-ion battery industry and become a pioneer in the global sodium-ion battery industry.

 China Merchants Securities Research Report recently analysed that the industrialisation of sodium-ion batteries in the domestic market is accelerating with the cost advantage. Companies such as CATL, HiNa Battery, and Natrium Energy have successively launched sodium-ion battery products with excellent performance. From the perspective of downstream applications, the existing products are mainly aimed at the energy storage market, and there are also some innovative attempts in the electric bicycle and motive power market. It is expected that the industrialisation of sodium batteries will further accelerate in the future.

Cost Push or Supply-Demand Restructuring?—The Real Logic Behind Iron Phosphate Price Increases in April
Iron phosphate negotiations in April were deadlocked, with offers hitting 13,000 yuan/mt. The price surge appeared raw-material driven, but in fact reflected pricing power shifting upstream after a reversal in supply-demand fundamentals. Downstream buyers cited “cost increases” to push back, yet conveniently forgot the upstream losses quietly absorbed over the past three years. This was never about simple cost pass-through—it was a restructuring of profit distribution across the chain.

[SMM, March 30] Technological iteration in the sodium-ion battery industry accelerated, and the anode-free route achieved a critical breakthrough. Recently, Nayuan New Materials Technology (Wuxi) Co., Ltd. officially released its NFS anode-free sodium-ion battery prototype product. The battery cell's measured energy density reached 220 Wh/kg, significantly higher than the industry's mainstream level of 120 Wh/kg, providing important technological support for sodium-ion batteries to break through performance bottlenecks and expand application scenarios.

February 2026 coincided with the Chinese New Year holiday. Affected by holiday factors, production pace across core segments of China’s sodium-ion battery industry generally slowed, showing an “off-season reset” trend. From cathodes, anodes, and electrolyte to battery cells and end-users, production across all segments declined MoM to varying degrees, while YoY still maintained a certain degree of growth resilience.
