[Solid-state battery: sulphide electrolyte production 70 mt, January-August]

[Solid-state battery: Sulphide electrolyte production 70 mt in January-August] From January to August 2026, China's cumulative sulphide electrolyte production reached 70 mt, up 119.7% YoY, already surpassing the full-year 2025 total (58.29 mt). However, this impressive growth masks three harsh realities: ① Only 19.6% of the annual forecast target (360 mt) has been achieved; ② The capacity utilization rate in August was just 5.82%, with capacity severely idling; ③ Product prices continued to plummet (LPSC fell over 24% in a single month). Q4 average monthly production will most likely land in the 11.5-13 mt range, with a full-year total of approximately 118-121 mt, representing a "solid climb." Annual forecast of 360 mt, with only 70 mt completed in the first eight months: the gap between the "mild ramp-up" of China's sulphide electrolyte and reality.
