[Photo provided to China Daily] Chinese battery suppliers are raising prices as a result of the surging demand for new energy vehicles and a continuous rise in raw material prices. Last week, Chinese electric vehicle and battery maker BYD reportedly it will raise battery prices by at least 20 percent, effective from Nov 1.
However, raw material supplies and prices will be eased by the second half of 2022 and the prices of batteries will fall back, he predicted. Yang Hongxin, president of Svolt Energy, said in August that there is no way to deal with the raw material price increase in the short term, which is led by market behaviors.
In 2024, the Chinese automotive battery market faces changes due to overcapacity and heightened competition. CATL led in 2023, BYD rose, and second-tier firms had mixed performances. New energy vehicle growth boosted power battery capacity to 339.7 GWh from Jan to Nov 2023, a 31.1% year-on-year increase.
BYD is not the only company to raise battery prices. In October, Ganfeng Lithium issued a price adjustment notice that the unit price of the company's full range of metal lithium products is increasing by 100,000 yuan ($15,500) per metric ton from November.
Additionally, numerous automakers are investing in solid-state battery development, with Chinese companies at the forefront of these industry trends. For now, lithium dominates the automotive battery industry, surpassing other battery technology such as sodium due to superior range, performance and cost.
Chinese companies are driving advancements in sodium-ion batteries, presenting a potentially cost-effective alternative in some low-priced EVs next year. Additionally, numerous automakers are investing in solid-state battery development, with Chinese companies at the forefront of these industry trends.
