According to the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China's lithium-ion battery (hereinafter referred to as "lithium battery") industry continued to grow from July to August 2023. According to the announcement of enterprise information and industry associations of lithium battery industry norms, the total output of lithium batteries in China exceeded 180 GWh in July-August, an increase of 23% over the same period last year. In
the lithium battery sector, the output of energy storage lithium batteries exceeded 33 GWh in July-August, and the loading volume of power lithium batteries for new energy vehicles was about 67 GWh. Export trade continued to grow, with the total export volume of lithium batteries in July-August reaching 76.57 billion yuan, up 17% year-on-year. From July to August
, the output of cathode materials, cathode materials, diaphragms and electrolytes reached 400000 tons, 280000 tons, 2.5 billion square meters and 180000 tons respectively, with an increase of more than 20%. In
the second stage material link, the output of battery-grade lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide in July-August is about 90000 tons and 50000 tons respectively, and the average price of battery-grade lithium carbonate and battery-grade lithium hydroxide (micro-powder grade) is 271000 yuan/ton and 265000 yuan/ton respectively.
According to the summary information, the total output of lithium batteries in China from January to August exceeded 580 GWh, an increase of 37% over the same period last year, of which the output of energy storage lithium batteries was about 110 GWh.
