Lithium-ion batteries is ideal for a new generation of green energy, with storage for high specific energy, long life cycle, produces no pollution and so on. To produce lithium-ion batteries that the objective of the energy industry of lithium in the world is a good opportunity for development. Currently, the electric power industry in China is a lithium cell phone and laptop computers and other small appliances for use lithium-based, electric cars, electric vehicles and other leading lithium power drive powered electrical TVU industrial base has not yet emerged. Experts believe that China should seize the global opportunity for rapid development of the energy industry lithium soon as possible occupation of the high-tech lithium-ground industry’s high power.
The lithium industry in the world “tripod” develop their own characteristics
Through the production of lithium-ion batteries power industry geared for nearly 10 years in the world to realize rapid development in 2007 has benefited from the new combined stability of the global market growth and consumer disk d ‘laptop, lithium ion battery rapid sales growth to around more than 30 billion only.
The layout of the global lithium-ion battery, Japan, South Korea and Chinese manufacturers dominate. From a technical perspective, Japanese companies are still a leading position, its high degree of automation equipment production, China and South Korea from Japan, imported equipment and technology, through digestion and absorption, and thus continually improve and improve.
Japanese lithium-ion batteries in the domestic production of large, almost more than in previous years, the sum of China and South Korea, plus some for domestic consumption, most products are for export to United States, Europe, Middle East, China and other countries. Japanese lithium-ion batteries led to an increase in the relative cost competitiveness of Japanese companies and loss of market share was mainly due, but the basic technology in Japan and China and South Korea still has a distinct advantage.
In 2000, Japan accounted for 93.9% of global market share of industry supply lithium the global market share of Japan in 2007 sales fell to 43%, but sales in the Japanese market lithium batteries, always over 50% of the global market.
Lithium power industry in China grows rapidly increasing their market share
China is now the world power battery manufacturing, output current of the battery and exports are highest in the world, but China’s industry of lithium batteries is that in recent years to develop rapidly.
Energy Industry lithium China began in late 1997, are awarded by an independent research and development to benefit from the introduction of industrialization of the road. Entered since 2001, with the Shenzhen BYD, Banke batteries, lithium-growing company fast ion battery, China’s energy industry lithium began to come into full growth phase.
2002 lithium batteries in China has topped 100 million euros in global market share of 12%. In 2007, Chinese production of lithium-ion battery has reached over 1.4 billion, including the Chinese domestic manufacturers of lithium-ion batteries at about 1 billion euros or so, BYD Company in the field of lithium - ion battery industry has entered the top 5 worldwide. In recent years, Chinese manufacturers of lithium-ion batteries worldwide market share stable at around 34%, and Japanese manufacturers of lithium-ion battery production in the formation of the trend by.
According to relevant data show that in 2008 the demand for lithium-ion battery market 2.87 billion, the annual growth rate of over 20%. Lithium-ion batteries by 2013 demand will reach 3.99 billion.
At present, China has become the world’s leading manufacturer of lithium battery production base, lithium China, ion battery manufacturers in Guangdong, Tianjin, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and d ‘ other places. Currently, the Guangdong region of the lithium production is already 75% of the industry in China, while the Shenzhen City of the total accounted for 70% of the country.
Industry, eliminate backward production capacity must increase to improve product quality
Reporters found that the industry supply lithium in China in recent years due to the rapid development of resources in labor cheap and plentiful, you can use labor-intensive semi-production lines automatically adopt a low cost competitive strategy. To take advantage of this strategy, local brand lithium-ion batteries have the dell latitude x300 battery,dell xps m140 battery in the mobile phone manufacturers take national pride of place on the shopping list.
At present, China has entered a self-contained era lithium capacity of mass production to grow rapidly, the price of foreign brands were temporarily unable to equal advantage. However, to ensure consistency in the battery, semi-automatic production obviously can not match, and automated production. Therefore, the initial number of firms a foothold in the market, having spent a lot of money to introduce automatic production lines. In a highly competitive marketplace, small businesses will be eliminated over the next two years, and only the manufacturers of heavy trucks can also be bigger and bigger.
Currently, BYD, BAK, B & K and other Chinese companies with its unique method of lithium production, significantly reducing the cost of production of lithium batteries, lithium-powered products has changed the dominance of Japanese companies, but the high end lithium battery market, China is still in its infancy, and there is still a large gap between Japanese companies. In industries from high-end lithium battery, domestic enterprises are still at the initial stage of the majority, compared to multinational companies there is a big difference. More precisely reflected in the decline of production facilities, products, poor regeneration, the relative lack of intellectual property rights, continue to produce enough attention, consumption too technical material, product homogeneity, the absence of high value added products and well known brands, the ability to participate in international competition, relatively low.
Not to miss is the direction of the energy industry of the battery need to overcome
Currently, the development of battery electric vehicles have become the main trends in the global automotive industry, developing new energy vehicles in China has become a consensus. The traditional technology of China is concerned, although in the car behind other countries, but in research and development of new energy vehicles, compared to developed countries, almost the same starting line.
This year, governments have increased for new energy vehicles in support, in March this year, President Obama signed an economic stimulus for new power capacity in 2015 America’s vehicle production to reach 10 million per year size. Meanwhile, Nissan, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz and other auto giants have also moved into the new energy cars generous R & D and production continues.
In January this year, the National Development and Reform Commission Ministry of Science and Planning, has introduced a new energy vehicles, as required by planning, by 2020 the proportion of vehicles with new energy to the China accounted for half of the car, about 65 million euros.
During our visit, noted that new energy vehicles in China showed a good momentum of development. Battery current China has reached a certain level, is the leading global supplier of automotive batteries, with the industrialization of the basic conditions for the development of pure electric vehicles and laid a foundation. hp pavilion dv9000 battery BYD Company recently launched their R & D mileage of electric vehicle continuous more than 400 kilometers, the maximum speed of 160 kph over 100 kilometers energy h approximately 18 kWh.
Chinese Academy of Engineering, YANG Yu-sheng said that from a technical standpoint, three years, can be produced on a single charge of 15 cars from China to ensure minute 300 to 400 km Lithium Battery Power and the number of charge cycles (cycle life) up to 2000 times the maximum speed of 120 km / h or more. This, without doubt, the development of new energy vehicles provided technical assurance.
However, experts said, compared to foreign countries, the domestic development of new energy vehicles is still inadequate foundation is very weak, once the opportunities of foreign investment enterprises in R & D and industrialization, it may use its strong brand equity and efficiency benefits of allocation of global resources in the field of new energy vehicles to widen the gap. “Need to help countries develop policies and harmonization of national technical standards and improve the corresponding supporting good. YANG Yu-sheng.
Therefore, improving overall product quality and quality of an industry supply lithium in China to develop its international market share in the key. The industry believes that the future development of enterprises in China lithium market first focused on technological innovation based on the transformation and modernization and structural adjustment in order to concentrate on developing appropriate total market, and develop active national and international focus on research, development and production of high technology, high value-added energy small, lightweight and high, sony vgp-bps9 battery non-polluting secondary battery. Departments to implement policy guidelines for promoting business investment in the battery and the funding of several operations channel, adhere to the introduction of technology, equipment and digestion, absorption and innovation combine to encourage businesses to cooperate with the merger, to improve quality, expand the scale of the costs of lower production, sales resource sharing and reduce the cost of sales.
