风向正在发生变化。 6月10日晚间，一汽集团、东风汽车、广汽集团、赛力斯、吉利汽车集团和长安汽车等车企先后 宣布，承诺将供应商账期缩短至不超过60天。次日，比亚迪、北汽集团、蔚来、理想汽车等车企 宣布跟进。至此，两天内已有17家车企就"支付账期不超过60天"作出承诺。 市场分析认为，各大主流车企集中表态，反映出压缩账期是近期国家部署汽车行业反内卷的主要 思路之一。 事实上，庞大规模的三角债几乎已成为汽车供应商企业不可承受之重。据24潮产业研究院 (TTIR) 统计，截止2024年末，比亚迪 (002594.SZ) 、上汽集团 (600104.SH) 、吉利汽车 (0175.HK) 、 长城汽车 (601633.SH) 、长安汽车 (000625.SZ) 、赛力斯 (601127.SH) 、理想汽车 (2015.HK) 、广汽集团 (601238.SH) 、蔚来 (9866.HK) 、小鹏汽车 (9868.HK) 、北汽蓝谷 (600733.SH) 、 众泰汽车 (000980.SZ) 等12家主要上市车企应付账款及应付票据合计达9609.31亿元 （同比增长 15.05%） ，占整体流动负债比例达55.39% ...

切入储能领域，比亚迪也展示了强大的技术实力和垂直整合能力，覆盖从上游原材料 （锂矿） ，到中游电芯、PCS、BMS、EMS，到下游系统集成，从电源侧、电网侧到用户侧的全产品/全产 业链矩阵。 在汽车行业厮杀30年，论比拼 "卷" 的能力，比亚迪丝毫不惧。凭借强悍的工程师技术功底构筑 独特差异化竞争力，加上全球化的新能555源品牌影响力，领先的商业模式，全产业链成本优 势，这头 "万亿巨兽" 再次急速狂奔。 正如比亚迪储能部门负责人尹小强所说："未来，我们要像建房子一样建设储能电站，储能产品将 像水泥一样按吨卖，真正和能源挂钩，和新型电力系统挂钩。" 从瓦时到吨，比亚迪无疑将是新能源基建时代不容小觑的猛兽。 从电芯到系统集成，从国内到海外，比亚迪在储能赛道再一次复制新能源汽车的 "神迹"。 早在2008年，王传福就提出了比亚迪的 "三大梦想"——电动车、光伏和储能。此后，他在多个场 合强调新能源和储能结合的重要性。甚至指出："全国增加10%的发电量，就可以不进口石油 了"、"太阳能的唯一缺点是间断的，要大力发展储能，才能让它连续运用"。 宏大愿景指引下，比亚迪不断打破边界，肆意生长。 查理·芒格曾如此评价王传福 ...

Price Trends and Market Outlook - Lithium prices have seen a significant decline, with the main contract dropping to around 60,000 yuan/ton, reflecting a 22.23% decrease from the end of 2024 [1][51]. - The market is expected to remain oversupplied in 2025, with price levels projected between 60,000 and 90,000 yuan/ton, indicating ongoing pressure from high inventory levels [51]. Demand Projections - The demand for lithium is primarily driven by electric vehicle (EV) and energy storage sectors, which together account for approximately 70% of lithium consumption [22][35]. - Global EV sales are projected to reach 18.24 million units in 2024, with significant growth in China, while demand in Europe and the US is expected to face challenges due to policy shifts [22][24][28]. Inventory and Cost Considerations - Lithium carbonate inventory levels have been rising, indicating a supply-demand imbalance, with significant stockpiles reported as of early 2025 [37][47]. - The cost structure for lithium production varies significantly, with salt lake extraction being the most cost-effective method, while higher-cost projects may face challenges in the current market environment [40][46].

美国掀起的 "关税大战" 重创全球金融市场，且冲击全球储能江湖之际，储能赛道独角兽海辰储 能正闯关港交所。 纵观海辰储能的发展历程，堪称是一位强人离职创业的励志样本。 2019年，当储能行业骤冷时，吴祖钰却放弃宁德时代工程师职位，与搭档王鹏程在厦门创立海辰 储能。行业收缩之际，他们逆势扩张，以280Ah电池重新定义行业标准，三年出货量暴增500%， 斩获多个头部客户订单。 成立仅六年，就跻身全球储能电池前三名，仅次于宁德时代和亿纬储能，而在2023年，它还仅排 在第五。 得益于大踏步的全球化布局，海辰储能2024年的收入激增到129.17亿元，是2022年的3.6倍，净 利润上升到2.88亿元，而在2022年，公司还亏损近18亿元。 创立以来，公司获得了中金资本、中国宝安、鼎晖百孚、农银国际、建信股权、经纬创投、中银 资产等知名投资机构的青睐，目前估值已超过250亿元。 但诸多光环背后，海辰储能隐忧不少。与宁德时代的恩怨纠葛曾对簿公堂，令公司声誉受损；与 上一年相比，其电池业务几乎停滞，国内收入不增反降 （2024年下降8.75%，2023年增幅为 179.42%） ；增量市场主要源于海外，而在全球贸易大动荡 ...

从增长趋势看，2024年新注册登记新能源汽车1125万辆，占新注册登记汽车数量的41.83%，年新 增规模较2019年 （120万辆） 增长了837.50%。 在政策与市场强力驱动下，动力电池回收江湖很可能迎来爆发性增长周期。 首先看市场方面的一组数据。公安部的最新数据显示：截至2024年底，全国新能源汽车保有量达 3140万辆，占汽车总量的8.90%；其中纯电动汽车保有量2209万辆，占新能源汽车保有量的 70.34%。 再看政策方面动态。为进一步加强新能源汽车废旧动力电池综合利用行业管理，引导行业健康发 展，工业和信息化部对《新能源汽车废旧动力蓄电池综合利用行业规范条件（2019年本）》进行 修订，形成《规范条件（2024年本）》，于2024年12月16日发布 （中华人民共和国工业和信息 化部公告2024年第42号） 。 《规范条件》重点聚焦四方面内容： 一是优化技术指标体系。 将冶炼过程锂回收率的技术指标由不低于85%提高至不低于90%，新增 破碎分离后的电极粉料回收率不低于98%、杂质铝含量低于1.5%等技术指标，引导企业强化技术 创新，提升工艺水平。 二是更新完善标准规范。 增补《车用动力电池回收利 ...

不可否认，在动储大退潮席卷全球的当下，财务健康已经成为衡量企业持续生存与发展力最核心 的指标，甚至没有之一。 事实上，在近代商业世界里，因为债务问题破产的明星企业，甚至产业巨头不计其数，比如曾经 强盛一时，后陷入破产重整的海航、恒大等都是前车之鉴；而纵观中国，乃至全球动储 （动力与 储能电池） 产业20年发展史，特别是在过去十年间，产业已历过了几轮疯狂的野蛮生长和残酷洗 牌。比如据东方证券统计，仅过去五年，我国动力电池行业在经历大洗牌后，能够配套车型的电 池生产企业数量已经从2017年的81家降至36家 （2023年4月） ，降幅达55.56%。那些倒下的明 星企业，甚或产业巨头，大多死于 "现金流断裂引发的资金危机"。 时隔几年，新一轮更为惨烈的产业洗牌浪潮正汹涌而至。据24潮产业研究院 (TTIR) 此前统计的 数据显示：截止目前，在动力电池、储能电池、正极材料、负极材料、电解液与锂电隔膜这6大 核心赛道上，已知的企业产能规划均远超2025年第三方研究机构对市场需求的预测上限，未来三 年内产业大洗牌似乎已经不可避免。 同年6月4日，ACC——欧洲车企Stellantis、梅赛德斯-奔驰集团和道达尔能源的合 ...

一切迹象与数据似乎都在佐证，中国动储产业还处于洗牌与博弈深水区。 为了让读者朋友对锂电产业趋势与变化有一个更为清晰、直观的了解，24潮产业研究院 (TTIR) 根据108家动储上市/IPO公司2024年财报中营收、预收款、归母净利润、对外投资、经营与筹资 现金流、总负债、资金净值、应收账款于存货等核心数据制作了十大排行榜。 24潮产业研究院 (TTIR) 统计数据显示，当前动储产业形势确实不容乐观：2024年108家动储公司 整体营业收入同比下降11.87%，增速较2023年同期下降了11个百分点；归母净利润整体同比下降 67.27%，已经连续2年巨幅下降 （2023年降幅为47.69%） ；客户预收款规模已经连续两年下 降；产业造血力 （经营净现金流） 也同比下降18.38%，增速较去年同期下降了61.01个百分点； 净筹资规模更是同比下降了81.91%，资金净值也下降了20.32%，等等。 | 核心指标 | 2024年合计 | 同比上一年增长 | 2023年同期增速 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 总资产 | 29,092.41 | 6.17% | 12.65% | | 总负债 ...
