SHANGHAI, Jul. 7 (SMM) – Motive battery market enters peak season in July-August by traditional. However, most producers report poor new orders from the beginning of July, and even a year-on-year decline.
SMM attributes 3 major factors to the decrease.
China Ignition Battery Markets See Divergent Transaction, SMM Reports
First, battery price grew constantly in June, following price surge in lead market. As such, battery distributors built stocks with optimistic outlook, and some battery producers delivered goods recently due to tight finished goods supply after big increase in orders in a short term. So, motive battery inventories at most distributors can be consumed for about 20 days at present.
Second, distributors in face of no significant improvement in battery end-user market sell goods mainly by on-hand stocks.
Third, lead price drops slightly from the beginning of July, raising distributors’ risk aversion sentiment. So, those do not plan to purchase goods in a short term.
