1. Report's Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the industrial aspect, the off - season for terminal demand is coming, but vehicle sales from January to February may be better than expected due to factors such as early national subsidy distribution, car companies' support for vehicle purchase tax, etc. Energy storage demand grows steadily limited by production capacity. There may be a rush to export lithium batteries in the first quarter due to the reduction of export tax rebates after April 1st. On the supply side, imported concentrates of traders are arriving at ports, but high lithium ore prices and high - level operation of lithium salt plants limit supply growth, and January supply may be flat month - on - month. Inventory also supports prices. In the futures aspect, although a recent meeting aimed to suppress over - expansion of lithium battery production capacity, the market is still strong, and lithium prices may continue to rise due to the expected rush to export. In the medium - to - long - term, the idea of buying on dips is recommended [5] 3. Summary According to the Table of Contents Demand Analysis New Energy Vehicles - Off - season but Better than Expected - From January to November 2025, domestic new energy vehicle sales reached 1.2466 billion, a year - on - year increase of 23.2%. The off - season from January to February has the lowest vehicle sales, but factors like early national subsidy distribution and car companies' support for purchase tax may make the seasonality of power batteries stronger than expected. Power cell production follows the trend of new energy vehicle sales, with a cumulative year - on - year increase of 41.9% to 1245.5GWh from January to December, and a 6.1% month - on - month decline in ternary power in January [11] New Energy Vehicles - Differentiated Electrification Progress in Europe and the US - From January to November 2025, global new energy vehicle sales increased by 20.1% year - on - year to 1.839 billion.

Cell production also showed different trends in December and January. In January, affected by weak power demand, the off - season continued, but it may be revised upward due to the expected rush to export, with a continued month - on - month decline expected in February [27] Supply Analysis Stable but Slightly Declining Lithium Carbonate Production - In January, due to the maintenance of some smelters, production scheduling decreased by 1.2% month - on - month. From January to December, domestic lithium carbonate production reached 871,000 tons, a cumulative year - on - year increase of 44%. This week, mica - based lithium production decreased, but other raw material production made up for it, keeping the production relatively stable [32] China's Monthly Lithium Carbonate Production by Raw Material - Not elaborated further in the content other than presenting relevant charts January Supply of Lithium Carbonate Declines Marginally - From January to November 2025, China's lithium carbonate imports were 219,000 tons, a year - on - year increase of 6%.
