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.
