[SMM Lithium Battery Anode Raw Material Market Weekly Review: Mild Two-Way Improvement in Supply and Demand, Anode Raw Material Coke Market Maintains Stable Operation Pattern] June 25 news: This week, China's anode raw material coke market was dominated by stable price operation. On the demand side, downstream anode material producers' purchasing strategies tended to be conservative.

SMM, June 25 –

This week, China's anode raw material coke market remained largely stable. Demand side, downstream anode material producers adopted a conservative procurement strategy, mostly restocking small quantities based on demand, with insufficient willingness to stockpile large volumes proactively, and new purchase orders in the market were relatively limited. Supply side, several enterprises that had previously halted production for maintenance resumed operations one after another, and effective supply in the industry steadily increased. At this stage, raw material coke lacks sufficient positive factors to support a price uptrend. Looking ahead, as maintenance-affected capacity continues to resume production and release supply, the market supply increase will be steadily realized, and combined with expectations of a slight uptick in downstream demand, the raw material coke market is expected to continue its stable trend in the short term, with prices showing no logic driving a sharp change.

Optimize Lithium Battery Industry, Enhance Coastal Urban Agglomerations, and Advance Manufacturing Clusters

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and seven other departments jointly issued the 15th Five-Year Plan for New-Type Battery Industry Development. It proposes optimizing the layout of the lithium battery industry in accordance with the principles of regional agglomeration and concentration of main entities. It guides various regions to leverage their comparative advantages and achieve differentiated and specialized coordinated development. It consolidates and enhances the role of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area as driving forces for high-quality development, better leverages the role of coastal urban agglomerations such as Guangdong-Fujian-Zhejiang, and accelerates the cultivation of advanced manufacturing clusters for new-type batteries. Relying on the industrial foundations of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the Yellow River Basin, and the Northeast region, it promotes the strengthening, supplementation, quality improvement, and upgrading of the new-type battery industry chain. Based on the resources of the central and western regions, it enhances the resilience of the new-type battery industry chain.
