In 2024, the global lithium-ion battery market is rapidly entering the TWh era, with lithium battery production capacity expanding at a breakneck pace—but price wars are intensifying even further. According to GGII data, China's lithium-battery shipments defied the trend, growing by 32.6% to reach 1,175 GWh. Yet, among the 24 listed lithium-battery companies, revenue from their lithium-battery businesses actually declined by 8.7% year-on-year. As we enter 2025, battery cell prices have already dropped to as low as 0.2 yuan per Wh, putting pressure on corporate profitability and presenting the entire industry with unprecedented cost challenges.

The upstream materials sector is also under significant pressure. Revenue from cathode materials dropped by more than 40% year-on-year, while electrolytes, anodes, and separators saw declines of 20%, 4.5%, and 11.7%, respectively. The sharp plunge in lithium salt prices has begun to ripple downstream, triggering fierce price wars in both the new-energy vehicle and energy-storage markets—automakers are aggressively cutting prices to grab market share, and energy-storage project tenders are increasingly shifting toward prioritizing volume over pricing, putting relentless pressure on the industry. Battery companies are pursuing "extreme cost reduction" at every stage of the industry chain. 。
In this context, the lithium-ion battery industry has entered a new phase of intense competition focused on cost optimization and global efficiency. In this inevitable reshuffling game, whoever can achieve deep automation and lean management on the manufacturing side will be the first to break through.
