Why Anode Materials Pricing Matters in Battery Production

Anode materials play a crucial role in the efficiency and performance of batteries, particularly lithium-ion batteries, which are widely used in consumer electronics and electric vehicles. These materials are responsible for storing and releasing lithium ions during the charging and discharging cycle, directly impacting the battery’s capacity, cycle life, and overall energy density. The selection of appropriate anode materials is a determining factor in the performance characteristics of batteries and therefore holds significant importance in battery manufacturing. With the growing demand for more efficient and sustainable energy storage solutions, the spotlight is increasingly on the development and optimization of anode materials.

[SMM Analysis] Performance Review of Listed Ternary Cathode Materials Companies in Q3 2024

According to SMM statistics, China's production of ternary cathode materials in Q3 2024 was 178,000 mt, up 5% YoY, with an operating rate of around 41%. Although production increased YoY, the revenue and net profit of ternary cathode materials companies were lower-than-expected, mainly due to multiple factors such as intensified market competition and declining raw material prices. For instance, the monthly average price of 6-series ternary cathode materials (monocrystalline/power type) dropped from 131,000 yuan/mt in July 2024 to 125,000 yuan/mt in September 2024, according to SMM data. The significant decline in material prices had a substantial impact on the companies' revenue.
