Core Viewpoint - The lithium battery industry chain experienced mixed price movements in April, with certain materials like cobalt tetroxide, lithium cobalt oxide, ternary materials, and precursors seeing price increases, while others such as electrolytic copper, lithium hexafluorophosphate, manganese lithium, and lithium carbonate saw price declines [1]. Production Overview - In April, the total production of the four major cathode materials in China reached 358,300 tons, marking a year-on-year increase of 27% and a month-on-month increase of 4%. The production breakdown includes 56,200 tons of ternary materials, 280,700 tons of lithium iron phosphate, 9,700 tons of lithium cobalt oxide, and 11,700 tons of manganese lithium [3]. - The production of anode materials in April reached 218,200 tons, reflecting a year-on-year increase of 18% and a month-on-month increase of 4.7% [7]. - The production of electrolytes in April was 160,900 tons, showing a year-on-year increase of 41% and a month-on-month increase of 2.5% [9]. - The production of separators in April was 2.389 billion square meters, with a year-on-year increase of 38% and a month-on-month increase of 6.7% [11]. - The production of ternary precursors in April was 71,900 tons, which represents a year-on-year decline of 11.7% but a month-on-month increase of 3.2% [13]. - The production of battery-grade copper foil in April was 77,500 tons, indicating a year-on-year increase of 43% but a month-on-month decrease of 4% [15]. - The production of battery-grade aluminum foil in April was 39,500 tons, reflecting a year-on-year increase of 18% and a month-on-month increase of 1% [17]. Market Outlook - The market outlook for May suggests that due to tariff adjustments, energy storage is expected to recover, while the performance of power applications remains average [19].
