In the short term, there is an oversupply of lithium, leading to a decrease in the price of lithium carbonate and energy storage batteries. However, there is an expected increase in global new energy vehicle sales, which will drive up the demand for energy storage batteries. The global lithium carbonate production capacity is expected to exceed 2 million tons in 2024, leading to the risk of high-cost lithium production capacity being eliminated. In the short term, there may be a slowdown in downstream demand for lithium due to early reserve in power and energy storage industries, but with the recovery in demand, positive electrode material production is expected to increase. Additionally, events like early orders for positive electrode materials and the cancellation of futures contracts may impact the market in the short term, and market participants need to closely monitor these trends and take appropriate measures.
