美国关税风暴可能深度影响，甚至严重冲击全球储能江湖。 据24潮产业研究院 (TTIR) 统计，两个交易日 （4月7-8日） ，仅国内储能上市公司总市值蒸发近 4500亿元，降幅达15.92%！ 目前之所以在资本层面产生如此大的冲击与破坏力，与美国在全球储能江湖地位有很大关系。据 中信建投证券统计，2024年美国储能装机需求约40GWh，占比全球装机的20%，对应储能电池要 货80-100GWh。 根据海关总署数据显示，2024年中国向美国出口锂电池153.15亿美元 （约1100亿人民币） ，占 国内锂电池出口总额的25%。另外据CESA储能应用分会产业数据库不完全统计，就中国企业出 海情况来看，2024年中国企业跟美国企业签订储能订单最多，规模最大，达24个，总规模超 65.78GWh，占中国企业全球出海订单规模的33.63%。 很明显，为了实现争夺储能领域的全球话语权与定价权，美国在政策层面正在全力 "封堵" 中国 储能企业，以实现 "将完整的电池供应链带回美国" 的战略目标。 当前美国储能江湖，对中资企业而言即意味着巨大的发展空间与机遇，也预示着激烈的竞争与博 弈风险，而留给企业破局的时间已经非常紧迫了 ...
