Recently, the hot topics in the lithium battery materials market have been emerging frequently. According to industry data, the main contract for lithium carbonate broke through 130,000 yuan/ton last month, reaching a new high since November 2023. This price signal reflects subtle changes in supply and demand relationships.

Recently, leading companies such as German Nano, Hunan Yunneng, and Wanrun New Energy have announced production cuts and maintenance one after another. Market expectations suggest that the leading manufacturers in the lithium iron phosphate field will collectively adjust prices in January next year, indicating that the entire industry chain's pricing system is being re-evaluated.

In solid-state battery technology, progress has been quite significant. According to the latest institutional research, a leading material company’s sulfide solid-state electrolyte has entered the pilot testing stage and has received orders from multiple customers. The company has also set a clear goal—to control the cost of sulfide solid-state electrolytes at 100,000 yuan/ton by 2026. This breakthrough in cost is of great significance for industrialization and is expected to open a second growth curve.

Focusing on the lithium hexafluorophosphate market, the bidding price has already reached above 140,000 yuan/ton. The market generally believes that companies with capacity advantages will benefit fully from this round of price increases. Data shows that a leading company’s capacity for lithium hexafluorophosphate is 110,000 tons, currently operating at full capacity. This full-load capacity gives the company pricing power amid price fluctuations.

In terms of overall scale, this company’s electrolyte capacity reaches 850,000 tons, and its lithium hexafluorophosphate capacity is 110,000 tons. It is expected that by 2025, electrolyte sales will reach 720,000 tons. The large capacity base and market share ensure its influence in this round of industry chain upgrades.

Looking back at the industry landscape, lithium battery electrolytes and solid-state battery materials have become key links in the new energy ecosystem. Globally, companies with complete industry chain layouts and technological accumulation maintain a leading position in the market through product quality and cost control capabilities. This round of supply chain optimization and adjustment is reshaping industry competition patterns, further increasing industry concentration.
