Second-life Batteries: From the perspective of overall data analysis, in June, the ESS sector was affected by the withdrawal of the mandatory energy storage allocation policy, resulting in weakened support for rigid demand. The auto sales boom driven by previous auto shows gradually faded, and the end-use market lacked consumption momentum. It is expected that there will be no significant growth in end-use demand. In terms of market transactions, the prices of Grade B products in the second-life battery market remained stable overall, with the market primarily adopting a wait-and-see attitude. On the supply side, the supply of second-life battery cells remained relatively abundant. On the demand side, there were no significant changes in downstream demand, and overall supply and demand remained basically unchanged. Currently, market transactions in June remain sluggish. Some second-life battery producers, based on expectations of future price declines, are maintaining a just-in-time procurement strategy.
