Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: In the first half of 2022, my country's lithium-ion battery production and industry revenue exceeded 480 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 150%

In the first half of 2022 , driven by the goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality and strong downstream demand, China's lithium-ion battery industry achieved rapid growth. According to information from industry standard announcements and industry associations, the country's lithium-ion battery output exceeded 280GWh in the first half of the year , a year-on-year increase of 150% , and the industry's revenue exceeded 480 billion yuan.

In the lithium-ion battery segment , the output of energy storage batteries reached 32GWh in the first half of the year , and the installed capacity of power batteries for new energy vehicles was about 110GWh . The export of lithium-ion battery products increased by 75% year-on-year .

In the first-order materials segment , the output of positive electrode materials, negative electrode materials, separators and electrolytes reached 730,000 tons, 550,000 tons, 5.6 billion square meters and 340,000 tons respectively in the first half of the year, all with year-on-year growth of more than 55% .

In the second-order material segment , the output of lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide reached 150,000 tons and 102,000 tons respectively in the first half of the year, up 34% and 25% year-on-year respectively . The prices of battery-grade lithium carbonate and battery-grade lithium hydroxide (micro powder grade) fluctuated at high levels, with the average prices in the first half of the year being 445,000 yuan / ton and 432,000 yuan / ton respectively.
