Chan Ye Xin Xi Wang·2025-12-27 02:29Core Viewpoint - The battery box industry in China is experiencing significant growth, projected to increase from 7.5 billion yuan in 2021 to 27.5 billion yuan in 2024, driven by the demand from the electric vehicle and energy storage sectors [1][7]. Industry Overview - The battery box is a protective structure for battery packs, designed for support, connection, heat dissipation, and ease of installation and maintenance. It can be categorized by application (electric vehicles, energy storage systems, portable devices), material (metal, plastic), structure (modular, integrated), installation method (built-in, external), and battery type (lithium-ion, lead-acid) [3][4]. Market Size and Growth - The market size for battery boxes in China is expected to reach 35.188 billion yuan by 2025, continuing the upward trend fueled by the booming demand in the electric vehicle and energy storage sectors [1][7]. - The production of aluminum alloy, a key material for battery boxes, is projected to reach 16.141 million tons in 2024, reflecting a year-on-year increase of 9.6% [5][6]. Competitive Landscape - The battery box industry is primarily composed of two types of competitors: those focused on electric vehicle battery box production, such as He Sheng Co. and New Aluminum Era, and traditional automotive parts manufacturers like Lingyun Co. and Huayu Automotive, which are expanding into the battery box market [9][10]. - Leading companies are capturing a significant market share, while smaller firms often resort to price competition, which may hinder their long-term sustainability [13]. Industry Trends - Lightweight materials are becoming increasingly important in the industry, as the weight of battery systems significantly impacts energy efficiency in electric vehicles. The battery box, as a non-cell component, plays a crucial role in achieving this lightweight goal [11]. - The demand for battery boxes is expected to grow in tandem with the electric vehicle market, as they are essential components of the vehicle's power system [12]. - The concentration of market share is rising, with leading companies like He Sheng Co. and New Aluminum Era dominating the industry, while smaller players struggle to maintain competitiveness [13].
