This week, the power battery cell market maintained a stable operation. Mainstream producers kept their production schedules at a high level, benefiting from the demand boost driven by the intensive launch of new car models at auto shows, especially the significant boost from A-class and above new energy car models for high-specification battery cells. On the market side, the penetration rate of new energy vehicles in China rebounded to over 50%, and end-user destocking progressed smoothly, effectively supporting power battery cell shipments. In overseas markets, shipments gradually recovered against the backdrop of marginally warmer policies in the US and Europe and the transition of car model cycles. Overall, the power battery cell market continued to show a stable and positive trend, with the supply and demand structure tending to optimize, shipment schedules advancing steadily, and structural demand boosting industry sentiment to a continuous rebound.
