Wanhua Chemical assists SMM in producing the "2025 China Silicon-based Anode Material Industry Distribution Map"

With the continuous promotion of national policies and rapid progress in battery technology, the installations of lithium batteries have been increasing year by year, and sodium-ion batteries are also thriving. This trend has significantly driven the domestic demand for battery anode materials. Looking back from 2023 to the present, the capacity of anode materials has expanded rapidly. However, due to excessive planning in the early stages and rapid development, the market is currently facing a contradiction between overcapacity and insufficient demand, exacerbating phenomena such as losses and competition among anode-related enterprises.
In recent years, the anode material market has undergone significant changes. Traditional anode materials have been steadily developing, new-type anode material technologies have continuously emerged, and new production processes have been continuously innovated, such as the continuous upgrading and optimization of traditional graphite anodes, the R&D of silicon-based anodes and hard carbon anodes, and the innovation of continuous graphitisation processes. The entire industry chain is constantly progressing, driving the development of the industry.
To facilitate industry peers to have a clearer and more intuitive understanding of the global anode industry market distribution, SMM, in collaboration with Wanhua Chemical (Yantai) Battery Industry Co., Ltd., is proud to launch the "2025 China Silicon-Based Anode Material Industry Distribution Map", which will be printed and distributed to upstream and downstream customers in the industry after annotation and typesetting. This map aims to provide authoritative, comprehensive, and professional enterprise distribution information for clients across the entire industry chain, helping them understand the layout of the national anode material industry chain and promoting the healthy development and rapid upgrading of the new energy industry.

Silicon Carbon Anode Leading the Way, Driving the Future of New Energy

Wanhua Chemical (Yantai) Battery Industry Co., Ltd., as a holding subsidiary of Wanhua Chemical Group Co., Ltd., leverages the group's global multi-park integrated synergy advantages and large-scale chemical plant operation and management capabilities to comprehensively deploy in the field of battery materials and battery chemicals. Its product portfolio includes over 20 categories such as LFP, sodium-ion battery cathode and anode materials, graphite anodes, and silicon-based anodes, covering multiple key links in the battery industry chain.

In the field of silicon carbon anode materials, Wanhua has demonstrated strong technical strength and innovative spirit. CVD-produced silicon carbon materials have become the mainstream in the market, but the equipment scaling-up from "laboratory to mass production" is a key challenge for technology implementation. Wanhua has delved deep into equipment and process innovation, successfully achieving the leap from a 20kg-level pilot test to a 300+ kg-level industrial mass production of fluidized bed equipment, increasing production by 15 times while comprehensively reconstructing technologies for material uniformity and consistency, process safety and controllability, and energy efficiency ratio, breaking through the industrialisation bottleneck.
In response to the demands of the power and consumer sectors, Wanhua has successfully launched three types of silicon carbon anode products after two years of R&D and debugging: regular, long-life, and high-capacity models. Among them, the high-capacity model boasts a capacity of up to 2100mAh/g, with excellent performance, and all have been successfully mass-produced and debugged. Currently, Wanhua's existing capacity for silicon carbon materials is 600 mt/year, and it plans to expand it to 10,000 mt/year by 2026 to meet the growing market demand.

Wanhua Chemical (Yantai) Battery Industry Co., Ltd. always adheres to the development philosophy of "seizing every moment, innovating and breaking through, achieving excellence in management, and persevering for long-term success," committed to becoming the "Chief Innovation Officer" and "Industry Leader" in the global battery materials industry. In the future, we will continue to increase R&D investment, continuously optimize product performance, and drive the Chinese new energy industry to continue leading globally with advanced materials such as silicon carbon anodes, contributing Wanhua's strength to the global energy transition.
