Shanshan Technology assists SMM in creating the "2025 China Silicon-based Anode Material Industry Distribution Map"

With the continuous promotion of national policies and rapid advancements in battery technology, the installations of lithium batteries have been increasing year by year, and sodium-ion batteries are also flourishing. This trend has significantly driven domestic demand for battery anode materials. Looking back from 2023 to now, the capacity of anode materials has expanded rapidly, but due to overplanning and swift development, the market is currently facing a contradiction between overcapacity and insufficient demand, exacerbating losses and competition among anode-related enterprises.
The anode material market has undergone significant changes in recent years, with traditional anode materials steadily developing, new-type anode material technologies continuously emerging, and innovative production processes, such as the continuous upgrading and optimization of traditional graphite anodes, the R&D of silicon-based anodes and hard carbon anodes, and innovations in continuous graphitisation processes. The entire industry chain is constantly advancing, driving the development of the industry.
To provide a clearer and more intuitive understanding of the global anode industry market distribution, SMM (Shanghai Metals Market) has partnered with Shanshan Technology to launch the 2025 China Silicon-Based Anode Material Industry Distribution Map. After annotation and layout, it will be printed and distributed to upstream and downstream customers in the industry. This map aims to provide authoritative, comprehensive, and professional information on the distribution of enterprises for the entire industry chain, helping customers understand the layout of the national anode material industry chain, and promoting the healthy and rapid development of the new energy industry.
