In January 2024, the production of ternary cathode precursors decreased by 13% MoM and 12% YoY.
Supply side, the reduction in precursor production was mainly due to production cuts by top-tier enterprises. Some top-tier enterprises experienced production impacts due to production line maintenance, while others made significant production adjustments due to the Chinese New Year holiday and lower-than-expected downstream orders. Demand side, as the beginning of the year is an off-season, the production of downstream ternary cathode materials was affected, leading to an overall decline in demand.
Looking ahead to February, considering weak demand and the impact of the Chinese New Year holiday, the production of ternary cathode precursors is expected to decrease by 9% MoM and 0.4% YoY.
