Core Viewpoint - The article highlights the rapid growth and dominance of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries in the Chinese electric vehicle and energy storage markets, while also addressing the paradox of increasing demand coupled with significant financial losses in the LFP materials sector [2][4][12]. Market Overview - From January to October this year, China's installed capacity of new energy vehicle power batteries reached approximately 578 GWh, with LFP batteries accounting for about 470.2 GWh, representing a staggering 81.3% market share [2]. - In the energy storage sector, LFP batteries hold a near-total market share of 99.9% [2]. - The installed capacity of LFP batteries in the new energy vehicle sector grew by 59.7% year-on-year during the first ten months of the year, while the installed capacity of ternary batteries decreased by three percentage points [2]. Industry Challenges - Despite strong demand, the LFP materials industry faces severe profitability challenges, with many companies unable to achieve profitability [3][12]. - The average market price of LFP materials from January to September was only 14,177.1 yuan per ton, which is below the industry average cost of 16,201.8 yuan per ton [8][12]. - The LFP materials sector has been experiencing continuous losses for over 36 months, with prices plummeting from 173,000 yuan per ton at the end of 2022 to 34,000 yuan per ton by August 2025, a decline of 80.2% [13][18]. Cost and Pricing Dynamics - The cost of LFP materials is significantly impacted by rising prices of raw materials such as lithium, iron, and phosphorus, which have seen substantial increases [15][16]. - Companies in the LFP materials sector struggle to pass on these cost increases to downstream customers, leading to a situation where they must accept orders at a loss [16][17]. - The average asset-liability ratio of six listed LFP materials companies is as high as 67.81%, indicating financial strain [18]. Future Directions - A new cost index for LFP materials is being developed to provide a transparent reference for pricing and to guide the industry towards healthier competition [6][20]. - The establishment of this cost index aims to help companies rebuild pricing logic, curb excessive competition, and promote innovation and quality over mere scale [21][22]. - The association plans to expand this initiative to other critical materials in the lithium battery supply chain to address similar issues of overcapacity and price competition [22].

Core Viewpoint - The lithium iron phosphate (LFP) industry is facing significant challenges, including continuous losses for over three years, rising raw material costs, and pressure from downstream battery manufacturers, leading to a critical need for resolution in the industry [2][3][4]. Industry Challenges - The LFP material prices have plummeted from 173,000 yuan/ton to 34,000 yuan/ton from the end of 2022 to August 2025, a decline of over 80%, while the average debt ratio of six listed companies in the sector is 67.8% [3][4]. - The industry is experiencing a dual squeeze, with upstream raw material prices rising while downstream battery manufacturers refuse to accept price increases, creating a situation where companies face losses regardless of whether they accept orders or not [8][10]. Demand Growth - The core application scenarios for LFP are expanding, with the penetration rate of new energy vehicles exceeding 45% in China, and a projected demand increase of over 30% for LFP materials in the coming year [6][8]. - The energy storage sector is expected to see a 60% year-on-year increase in installed capacity by 2025, with global energy storage battery shipments predicted to grow by 30% in 2026 [6][8]. Competitive Landscape - Chinese LFP products hold a dominant position in the global market due to technological, cost, and supply chain advantages, despite attempts by other countries to reduce reliance on Chinese products [7][8]. - The average cost of LFP production is around 15,600 to 16,200 yuan/ton, while the current market price is approximately 14,770 yuan/ton, leading to losses of nearly 1,000 yuan for every ton sold [9][10]. Industry Response - The establishment of the LFP Materials Subcommittee aims to address industry challenges by auditing costs and providing transparent pricing data to help companies set reasonable prices and curb destructive competition [13][14]. - Companies are exploring collective price increases to counteract the pressure from battery manufacturers, with some firms already controlling production capacity to stabilize prices [14][15]. Future Outlook - The anticipated demand from both domestic and international markets suggests that LFP prices are likely to rise, with projections indicating potential price increases by the end of this year and into the first half of next year [15].
