| China Li-ion Battery Industry Report, 2009-2010 | | | | markets of Anode material, cathode material, |
| | | | | electrolyte and separator. At length, the report gives |
| As technology advances, electric vehicles will | | | | detailed information about related leading enterprises in |
| definitely predominate the automotive market in the | | | | lithium battery manufacturing. |
| future. Li-ion battery, as the core component of electric | | | | |
| vehicle, will see a huge market potential. ( ) | | | | BYD, the largest Li-ion battery producer in China, |
| | | | | carries two businesses- automobile and IT spare parts |
| The advantages of Li-ion battery industry in China | | | | of which the latter is mainly composed of secondary |
| can be shown from three aspects: firstly, the low | | | | rechargeable battery business and cell phone |
| manufacturing cost. China boasts of ample | | | | components & assembly service. Since 2009, |
| cost-efficient labor resources, which makes it possible | | | | automobile has become the prime business of BYD, |
| to employ manual semi-automatic production line to | | | | and the battery for electric vehicle can be fully |
| lower the cost. Chinese Li-ion manufacturers have | | | | self-sufficient. Until now, BYD is the only domestic |
| made breakthroughs in technology and forced Li-ion | | | | enterprise to possess the mass-production technology |
| battery price in global market to plummet in recent | | | | of LiFePO4 battery pack for electric vehicles, holding |
| years; secondly, China is the world's largest consumer | | | | the leading position worldwide. |
| country; thirdly, China has developed a relatively | | | | |
| complete Li-ion battery industry chain, keeping ahead in | | | | As the major supplier of separators for BYD lithium |
| assembling Li-ion battery materials. | | | | battery, Foshan Plastics Group is expected to |
| | | | | embrace its high growth period. |
| It can be seen from the above figure that the output | | | | |
| of Li-ion battery in China keeps growing year by year. | | | | In addition, China BaoAn Group is the largest |
| In 2009, Li-ion battery output reached 1.875 billion units, | | | | producer of anode materials in China, while Ningbo |
| up 82% from a year earlier. | | | | Shanshan Co., Ltd is China's leading supplier of cathode |
| | | | | materials. In cooperation with TODA KOGYO Corp., |
| The report starts from the industrial environment and | | | | Ningbo Shanshan Co., Ltd has developed an |
| current development of lithium battery industry in China, | | | | advantage in technology to produce anode material, |
| which is followed by the analysis on the segmented | | | | and gained cost advantage by teaming up with Heron. |
