Han Gao, Senior Analyst at S&P Global Mobility, has confirmed attendance at the CLNB 2025 New Energy Industry Expo. You are cordially invited.

By 2025, the global lithium battery raw material supply chain is facing a series of complex challenges and changes. On one hand, the prices of key battery materials such as lithium, nickel, and cobalt have experienced significant fluctuations in the past period. The International Energy Agency (IEA) has reported that the sharp rise in prices of these important materials has posed substantial pressure on the cost control of battery manufacturers. However, with market adjustments and the development of new mineral resources, Yuan Fangwei, a senior analyst at InfoLink, mentioned that since Q2 2023, the supply-demand tension in the global lithium battery market has eased, indicating that the supply chain is gradually adapting and adjusting to these challenges. To delve deeper into the current status and challenges of the global lithium battery raw material supply chain, SMM Information & Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to as SMM) will launch the Battery Raw Material Forum at the CLNB 2025 New Energy Industry Expo, April 16-18, 2025. Gao Han will be invited as a keynote speaker to provide in-depth analysis and forward-looking insights based on the latest market data and industry trends, aiming to help the industry better understand the current challenges and opportunities in the supply chain and jointly explore strategies to promote the sustainable development of the new energy industry.
