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 Cobalt-Lithium Morning Meeting Summary] Raw Material Divergence Intensifies; Peak Season Demand Uneven, Prices Consolidate

This week, the industry chain continued to diverge. On the lithium side, lithium carbonate drifted lower, but downstream stockpiling willingness near 140,000 yuan/mt remained strong, providing support for prices. Lithium ore pulled back accordingly, though overseas supply disruptions and mines holding prices firm kept ore prices relatively resilient. Lithium hydroxide was affected by reduced ternary orders, with transactions remaining weak. The materials segment was under pressure overall, with ternary cathode precursors, ternary cathode materials, and LCO continuing to weaken due to raw material pullbacks and insufficient end-use demand. China production schedules declined somewhat, while overseas high-nickel orders remained relatively good. LFP demand stayed robust, with production and sales holding at high levels. Iron phosphate orders increased, and prices edged up. Anode prices were broadly stable, with artificial graphite still having upside room supported by peak-season production schedules and cost support. High-end separator specifications saw tight supply-demand, with expectations of future price increases. Electrolyte cost support strengthened, with short-term stability for now. Sodium-ion batteries remained constrained by insufficient effective anode and cathode capacity, while the recycling market continued to remain under pressure amid raw material price fluctuations.

[SMM Cobalt Morning Meeting Summary] Weak Demand Combined with Lower Costs, Industry Chain Price Center Continues to Decline

The industry chain remained weak overall this week, with price centers generally moving lower. Upstream, reports of low-price raw material transactions increased, and the market stalemate showed signs of easing. Midstream, cost support for salts continued to weaken, and some enterprises, affected by funding and inventory pressure, proactively cut prices to sell, further dragging down market sentiment. Downstream, demand recovery fell significantly short of expectations, with orders for ternary cathode precursors, ternary cathode materials, and LCO all revised downward to varying degrees. Enterprises generally maintained cautious purchasing and destocking strategies, and September production schedules were broadly under pressure. Meanwhile, overseas orders for high-nickel materials remained at a relatively high level, serving as one of the few supportive factors. On the end-user side, NEV production and sales in August continued to grow YoY, but peak-season stockpiling had yet to clearly transmit to the materials segment. In the short term, under the combined effects of falling costs, elevated inventory, and weak demand, most products still lack clear momentum for stabilization, and prices are expected to remain in the doldrums. Going forward, attention should focus on Q4 order improvements, the pace of end-user stockpiling, and the release of low-priced supply.

Morocco's Phosphate Chemical Industry: Resource Endowment, Export Landscape, and Capacity Expansion

Morocco accounts for approximately 68% of global phosphate rock reserves, with grades as high as 33% (P₂O₅), and is predominantly surface-mined, giving it significant cost advantages. Exports are carried out through four major ports: Casablanca, Safi, Jorf Lasfar, and Laayoune, with Safi Port emerging as a strategic hub.
