Downstream material factories mainly rely on long - term contracts and customer - supplied channels, and spot purchases are mainly for rigid demand, with light market transactions. Annual long - term contract negotiations between upstream and downstream enterprises are ongoing, focusing on next year's price coefficient and purchase volume. In December, domestic lithium carbonate production is expected to increase by about 3% month - on - month. In December, new energy vehicle sales are still good, and the energy storage market remains in a situation of strong supply and demand with a tight supply pattern. The production schedules of cells and cathode materials are expected to remain high in December, with a slight month - on - month decline. Overall, lithium carbonate will continue to be destocked in December, but at a slower pace than in November [2]. Group 3: BYD's Battery Business - On the evening of December 1, BYD released its production and sales report for November 2025.

Group 4: Strategy - In December, the destocking pace starts to slow down, but consumption has some support. Currently, the resumption of mining operations is in progress, and it is expected to resume within the year. There are significant differences in consumption forecasts for the first quarter. It is expected that the power battery segment will decline, while the energy storage segment will remain at a high level. Overall, consumption in the first quarter is expected to decline quarter - on - quarter, and there is a high possibility of lithium carbonate inventory accumulation. For single - side trading, it is advisable to wait and see in the short term [4].
