10家设备企业H1业绩透视：头部企业靠“三板斧”领跑复苏

Core Viewpoint - The lithium battery equipment industry is experiencing a structural recovery despite some companies facing revenue and profit declines. A new wave of expansion is underway, driven by significant order growth among leading firms [1][3][10]. Group 1: Industry Performance - In the first half of 2025, among ten surveyed lithium battery equipment companies, six reported a year-on-year decline in revenue, and six experienced a drop in net profit [2][5]. - Notably, leading companies like Dazhu Laser and Xian Dao Intelligent achieved revenue growth rates of 19.8% and 14.9%, respectively, with Xian Dao Intelligent also reporting a net profit increase of over 60% [3][4]. Group 2: Demand and Supply Dynamics - The total shipment of lithium batteries in China reached 776 GWh in the first half of 2025, marking a 68% year-on-year increase, with power batteries and energy storage batteries growing by 49% and 128%, respectively [5][6]. - The current expansion cycle is characterized by a shift in order structure, with a surge in demand for new technology-related equipment such as solid-state batteries and high-voltage lithium iron phosphate [7][9]. Group 3: Competitive Landscape - The recovery in demand is not uniform, with smaller battery companies struggling to manage existing capacity, leading to a clear differentiation in equipment demand [8][9]. - Leading battery companies are increasingly collaborating with established equipment manufacturers, resulting in a pronounced "Matthew Effect" where stronger companies gain more market share [9][10]. Group 4: Strategic Responses - Companies are adopting differentiated strategies in response to the evolving industry landscape, focusing on cost control and operational efficiency rather than merely cutting expenses [11]. - Technological innovation is becoming a key factor for securing high-end orders, with companies like Xian Dao Intelligent and Hai Mu Xing making significant advancements in solid-state battery technology [12][13]. Group 5: Global Expansion - Globalization is crucial for amplifying the benefits of the expansion cycle, with leading companies actively pursuing international markets to enhance competitiveness [14]. - For instance, Hai Mu Xing reported a 192.5% year-on-year increase in overseas new orders, indicating a successful global strategy [14]. Group 6: Future Trends - The new expansion cycle is expected to accelerate the industry's "clearing and upgrading" process, leading to a more optimized market structure where value competition will replace scale competition [15][16]. - Companies that can convert technological advantages into market share and leverage international expansion for sustained growth will emerge as leaders in the high-quality development phase of the lithium battery equipment industry [17].
