How has China's LFP battery industry impacted profitability?
Intensifying Industry Competition: The entry of new players into China’s LFP battery industry has intensified competition, driving down battery prices. The LFP battery price decline not only impacts battery company profitability but also reverberates through the entire Chinese lithium battery industry chain. The primary concerns are:
How much does a lithium-ion phosphate battery cost in China?
Public procurements in China continue to demonstrate exceptionally low price levels for lithium-ion phosphate (LFP) battery energy storage systems (BESS). In the latest tender, more than 80% of bidders quoted prices below CNY 0.5/Wh ($69/kWh), highlighting the fierce competition in the world’s biggest BESS market.
Why are LFP battery prices falling?
Several factors have contributed to the plummeting LFP battery prices: Downward Trend in Upstream Raw Material Prices: Lithium carbonate, a primary raw material for LFP batteries, experienced a sharp price drop in due to weakened demand and oversupply. This, in turn, reduced LFP battery production costs.
How much does LFP cost per kWh?
The tender, covering supply, system design, installation guidance, 20-year maintenance, and safety features, targets systems to be built in -. That’s an astounding price, as earlier this year even I, as a battery optimist, was astounded by CATL’s announcement that it would be shipping LFP cells at $56 per kWh.
Are LFP batteries better than NMC batteries?
The report states that LFP batteries reached 80% of the batteries sold in China during November and December. “The higher energy density of NMC batteries remains an advantage for applications requiring longer ranges or operation in cold climates,” the report notes.
How much does a Chinese company bid?
The average bid of the first six candidates was 0. yuan/Wh, while the bids of the three alternative companies were somewhat higher and stood at 0. yuan/Wh, 0.486 yuan/Wh and 0. yuan/Wh. The latest results follow in the footsteps of recent procurements which saw similarly low prices.
