2024 National Lithium-Ion Battery Industry Operation Report

In 2024, China's lithium-ion battery (hereinafter referred to as "lithium battery") industry continued its growth trend. Based on information from enterprises listed in the lithium battery industry standardization announcements and estimates from industry associations, the total national lithium battery production reached 1,170 GWh, up 24% YoY. The total industry output value exceeded 1.2 trillion yuan.

In the battery segment, from January to December, the production of consumer, energy storage, and power lithium batteries was 84 GWh, 260 GWh, and 826 GWh, respectively. Lithium battery installations (including NEVs and new-type ESS) exceeded 645 GWh, up 48% YoY. Due to the decline in lithium battery product prices, the total export value of lithium batteries from January to December reached 434.8 billion yuan, down 5% YoY, with the decline narrowing by seven percentage points compared to H1 2024.

In the primary materials segment, from January to December, the production of cathode materials, anode materials, separators, and electrolytes was approximately 3.1 million mt, 2 million mt, 21 billion m², and 1.3 million mt, respectively, all up more than 20% YoY.

In the secondary materials segment, from January to December, the production of battery-grade lithium carbonate was 670,000 mt, up 45% YoY, and battery-grade lithium hydroxide was 360,000 mt, up 26% YoY. The average prices of battery-grade lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide (micro powder grade) were 90,000 yuan/mt and 87,000 yuan/mt, respectively.

Solid-State Battery Next Decade Series, Part 7 of 9: Global Competitive Landscape—The "Patent Shadow War" and Industrialisation Race Among China, Japan and South Korea [SMM Analysis]

[SMM Analysis: Solid-State Battery Next Decade Series, 7 of 9: Global Competitive Landscape—The "Patent Shadow War" and Industrialisation Race Among China, Japan, and South Korea] Is the development of global solid-state batteries measured by patents, determining the endpoint of each country's technological route? Currently, the global competition features China leading in quantity, while Japan and South Korea hold key patent positions. China is pursuing a dual-track approach, with solid-liquid batteries already in mass production and all-solid-state batteries catching up; Japan is doubling down on sulphide, South Korea is targeting dual markets, and Europe and the US are adopting technology imports plus local manufacturing. 2027-2028 is a critical window, with patents, industrialisation speed, and lithium sulphide capacity deciding the outcome.
