Industry Outlook


With the progress of global energy structure reform, the application scenarios of industrial and commercial energy storage and household energy storage on the electricity side are gradually mature.


On the power generation side, the rapid progress of wind power, photovoltaic and other renewable energy technologies reduces the cost and significantly improves the power generation economy.


Renewable energy installations are growing rapidly.With the continuous decrease of the cost of lithium batteries, the efficiency of energy storage system is increasing dramatically.


The energy storage market has great potential for future development.


With the global energy crisis and environmental pollution becoming increasingly prominent, various governments have announced their time frames for banning the sale of fuel vehicles, and major international vehicle enterprises have also released their new energy vehicle strategies one after another.


According to Marklines, global sales of new energy vehicles increased from 150,000 units in 2013 to 2.21 million units in 2019, and global shipments of power batteries also increased from 13.8GWh in 2013 to 116.6GWh in 2019, with a compound annual growth rate of 43%. According to the statistics of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, 1.206 million new energy vehicles were sold in China in 2019, but new energy vehicles accounted for only 4.68% of the total automobile sales.


According to the New Energy Automobile Industry Development Plan (2021-2035) released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) in December 2019 (for comments), the competitiveness of China's new energy automobile market will be significantly improved by 2025, with new energy automobile sales accounting for about 25% of the total. We predicts that by 2025, the global sales volume of new energy passenger vehicles will reach 11.5 million units, with an average annual compound growth rate of 31.6% compared with 2019. In 2025, the global demand for power batteries for passenger vehicles will reach 747.5GWH, with broad development space for the industry.


At present, the power battery industry players are mainly concentrated in China, Japan and South Korea.
