China Battery-grade manganese sulphate output in October and forecast for November

In October 2023, China's high-purity manganese sulphate production was about 26,300 mt, up 19.55% MoM. This rise is due to a boost in some enterprises' output and a growth in export orders. Most enterprises increased their operating rates in October.

As per SMM, November's ternary cathode precursor scheduled production is expected to drop, reducing high-purity manganese sulphate procurement. After prior production rush, output in November and December is likely to fall back. Consequently, November's high-purity manganese sulphate production is projected at 23,200 mt in physical content, down 11.79% MoM.
