SMM Tier 1 is an authoritative certification system defined by SMM as an independent third-party market research institution for the global new energy industry.

SMM Tier 1 is an authoritative certification system defined by SMM as an independent third-party market research institution for the global new energy industry. This system employs a rigorous, transparent, and comprehensive methodology to evaluate companies across various segments of the new energy sector, aiming to define industry benchmarks for excellence.

The new energy industry is rapidly evolving, yet market information is fragmented, corporate strength is difficult to quantify, and supply chain credibility is questionable. SMM Tier 1, with "transparent methodology + independent audit" at its core, establishes "globally comparable" industry benchmarks for segments such as ESS, sodium-ion batteries, and lithium battery materials, facilitating precise capital decision-making, efficient industry collaboration, and the manifestation of technological value.

After conducting extensive field trips to assess companies' fundamental data, such as capacity layout, production scale, order delivery (directly sourced from SMM's industry database), and technological investment, and introducing third-party institutions (such as Dun & Bradstreet and SGS) to verify data authenticity, ensuring the list is "zero water content," SMM selected the "2025 SMM Global Tier 1 Sodium-Ion Battery Cell List" and held a grand award ceremony during the banquet of the 2025 (10th) New Energy Industry Expo, hosted by SMM Information & Technology Co., Ltd. (SMM).

【SMM Analysis】Current Challenges and Future Directions of the Sodium-Ion Battery Industry Amid the US-China Tariff War

Despite the current challenges, there are some positive variables for the long-term development of the sodium-ion battery industry. On one hand, the potential of the domestic Chinese market is immense. With the continuous promotion of policies such as "trade-in" for new energy vehicles, electric two-wheelers, and energy storage, the demand for batteries in these sectors is growing, providing vast development opportunities for the sodium-ion battery industry.

CATL, SVOLT Energy Technology, REPT Battero, Great Power Energy, Ganfeng LiEnergy, Highstar, and other battery cell enterprises gathered in Suzhou, waiting for you in April!

Under the guidance of the "dual carbon" goals, energy storage is continuously adapting to the characteristics and demands of new-type power systems, playing a supportive role in these systems and becoming a crucial guarantee for achieving the energy technology revolution. The innovation and iteration of energy storage system products have become a strong driving force leading the development of the energy storage industry. Currently, the mainstream container energy storage system products in the industry are still primarily of 5MWh capacity. However, during the ESIE 2024 energy storage exhibition, SVOLT Energy Technology, REPT Battero, BYD Energy Storage, and CATL were the first to showcase energy storage systems exceeding 6MWh, leading the energy storage industry towards a high-capacity era at a faster pace. It is particularly noteworthy that in this round of capacity upgrade competition, the frontrunners are all companies primarily engaged in the battery business. Whether in terms of safety, cost, or performance, the role of battery cells in boosting the energy storage industry is self-evident. In this iteration process of energy storage system integration, companies with battery cell R&D and manufacturing capabilities are demonstrating stronger creativity and vitality than ever before.

Tianqi Lithium Terminates Kwinana Lithium Hydroxide Refinery Phase 2 Construction in Australia

Tianqi Lithium has determined that continuing construction on this project is "economically unviable” and thus terminate the development of the Phase II of Kwinana's Lithium Hydroxide Project in Australia, an investment of RMB 1.412 billion, representing 2.74% of the company’s audited net assets for the previous fiscal year. The termination of this project is expected to reduce the company's net profit attributable to shareholders for FY2024 by approximately RMB 501 million, which accounts for 6.86% of the company’s audited net profit for the most recent fiscal year.
