【SMM Analysis】Energy storage battery prices are temporarily stable, demand steadily increasing.

Published: May 7, 2024 20:12
During the Labor Day, the prices of energy storage batteries have remained stable.

During the Labor Day, the prices of energy storage batteries have remained stable. From the demand side, in the first quarter, China added 3.91 million kilowatts/10.81 million kilowatt-hours of installed capacity, an increase of over 12% from the end of 2023. It can be seen that China's demand for energy storage is still growing. Looking ahead to the upcoming mid-year 630 grid connection preparations, downstream demand for energy storage cells is expected to increase rapidly. From the supply side, as some companies have already reduced their inventory to reasonable levels, and in preparation for downstream grid connection purchases, the production capacity of energy storage cell manufacturers has steadily increased. As for prices, due to the issue of overcapacity in the electric cell industry, it is expected that there may still be room for further price reductions in the future.

[SMM Analysis] Riding the Winds In and Outside China, Breaking the Iron Law of Old Cycles: 2026 Energy Storage Battery Cell Semi-Annual Review and Outlook
[SMM Analysis] In H1, the overflow of global utility-scale energy storage long-term contracts intertwined with the growing pains of production line upgrades. This not only completely shattered the cyclical pattern of "retreat after rapid rise" in the energy storage market, but also directly triggered a structural shortage and a strong price recovery for 314Ah battery cells. Furthermore, driven by the looming cancellation of tax rebates at year-end, an even more intense wave of "export rush" is gaining momentum, potentially pushing the full-year battle between volume and price to its peak.
