近日，中国有色金属工业协会锂业分会和中国塑协电池薄膜专委会同时发声，响应近期的"反内卷"政策 导向。前者发布了锂行业健康发展倡议书，提出抵制无序竞争、合理布局新建产能等方面。另一方面， 星源材质（300568.SZ）、中兴新材等8家干法电池薄膜骨干企业达成了价格自律、暂停扩产等共识。中 国塑协电池薄膜专委会有关人士告诉《华夏时报》记者，后续还会召开湿法隔膜有关会议，目前干法隔 膜行业的供需失衡还没有缓解，但会议后可能会有所缓解。 8月14日，厦门大学中国能源政策研究院院长林伯强告诉记者，"反内卷的根本出路仍在于市场的淘汰机 制。当前行业协会推动的自律举措缺乏法律层面的强制性约束，企业在库存压力与市场份额争夺的现实 面前，很难真正形成统一行动。因此，这类自律行为或许能起到一定缓解作用，但要彻底解决当前的内 卷问题，仍面临较大难度。" 新兴产业陷"内卷" "内卷式"竞争一般指经济主体为了维持市场地位或争夺有限市场，不断投入大量精力和资源却没有带来 整体收益增长的恶性竞争现象。与过去主要在钢铁、水泥、轻工产品等传统产业卷不同，在最近几年， 光伏、锂电池、新能源汽车、电商平台等新兴行业也开始深陷其中。 2024年7月 ...
