[SMM Weekly Review of Lithium Battery Graphite Market: Graphitisation Market in Stalemate, Prices May Rise Slightly in the Future] SMM reported on July 17: This week, the graphitisation market prices showed a relatively stalemate trend. Supply and demand side, with the accelerated advancement of integrated layout by anode material enterprises

SMM July 17 News:

This week, the graphitisation market prices showed a stalemate. Supply and demand side, with the accelerated advancement of integrated layouts by anode material companies, orders for graphitisation tolling services declined, and the pressure of supply surplus intensified daily. Cost side, the profit margin of graphitisation tolling services has reached the cost line, leaving buyers and sellers deadlocked in price negotiations, resulting in a pronounced market standoff. Looking ahead, demand side, although growth is expected, the traditional off-season is likely to limit any significant rise. The core issue of overcapacity is unlikely to be effectively resolved in the short term, and graphitisation tolling service providers may face capacity exits due to sustained losses. Under these circumstances, graphitisation tolling service prices are expected to rise slightly.
