[SMM Analysis: Weekly Overview of LFP] This week, the LFP market price continued the downward trend from last week. On the raw material side, lithium carbonate prices fell by approximately 300 yuan/mt this week. Along with the recent implementation of higher processing fees for mid-to-high compaction density products, the packaging processing fee for LFP increased slightly this week. Regarding lithium carbonate discounts, negotiations have not yet been fully concluded. Supply side, as of now, orders from some leading first- and second-tier LFP material manufacturers have declined compared to their full production plans at the beginning of the month. Actual production fell short of the production schedule expectations but still showed growth compared to February. Demand side, downstream battery cell manufacturers' overall production schedules increased significantly compared to February, particularly with strong demand for high compaction density products.
