[SMM ESS Battery Cell Market Weekly Review 5.22] Price center remains stable, with production schedule dominated by the rhythm of structural orders

Published: May 22, 2025 17:05
[SMM ESS Battery Cell Market Weekly Review] The overall ESS battery cell market remains stable. With the approaching grid connection deadline (May 31) in China, structural projects are driving shipments, and the energy storage system integration sector is maintaining a restocking rhythm based on demand.

This week, the prices of ESS battery cells remained stable, with the quoted price center largely consistent with that of last week. For 314Ah battery cells, as some utility ESS projects have higher requirements for individual cell capacity, there is room for price negotiation in some orders. As the grid connection deadline (May 31) approaches, some projects have entered the stage of centralized equipment delivery. Overall, the pace of new orders has remained steady, and no significant procurement peak has emerged in the market. System integrators have mainly focused on rolling restocking and simultaneous project delivery. Demand from the industrial and commercial sectors has remained resilient, while the release of overseas utility ESS orders has been relatively slow. In terms of pricing, there is generally high acceptance of current quotes among upstream and downstream players in the industry chain, and there are no strong expectations for price changes in the short term. Overall, it is judged that the ESS battery cell market is in a phase of steady delivery and structural optimization. While prices remain stable, the product lineup continues to evolve towards higher capacity, greater consistency, and better system compatibility.
