Lithium battery output may exceed 5.4 billion in 2014

In 2013, China's lithium-ion battery industry maintained a steady growth momentum. The annual output reached 4.54 billion, a record high. In 2014, global consumer electronics products will continue to maintain low-speed growth on a high base, and electric vehicle production will continue to grow at a rapid rate. It is expected that China's lithium-ion battery output will increase at an accelerating rate, and annual output will exceed 5.4 billion, but industry competition exists. Further exacerbated the risks.

In 2014, the overall development trend of China's lithium battery industry was good. Although the continuous decline in the price of lithium battery will further exacerbate the market competition, the key technology R&D and industrialization process will accelerate the self-sufficiency rate of key materials, and the lithium production cost will continue to decline. The introduction of stimulus policies will boost market demand, China's lithium-ion battery production is expected to usher in accelerated growth, the annual output is expected to exceed 5.4 billion.

In 2014, China's lithium-ion battery industry has four hot spots: First, the demand for battery management systems will increase; second, dislocation competition will be a breakthrough for the development and expansion of lithium-ion power companies in China; third, the development opportunity for lithium-ion battery equipment; and fourth, the use of standards. It is expected that the enterprises with superior technology and large scale enterprises will occupy certain competitive advantages.

In 2014, China's lithium-ion battery industry showed an accelerated development trend, but there are still four issues that need attention: First, the contradiction between supply and demand will be further intensified; Second, the gap between leading enterprises and international giants will gradually widen; Third, safety issues will still trouble lithium-electric development. Fourth, the risk of capital chain fractures spread to the entire industry.
