Companies from battery makers and lithium miners to cathode and anode producers have suffered a profit decline because of falling battery prices, caused by an overexpansion in response to a demand surge between 2021 and 2022.
SVolt chair Yang Hongxin has warned that fewer than 40 battery manufacturers could survive the wave of consolidation by the end of this year. “Previously, tier-2 and tier-3 battery makers participated in pricing competitions to grab more market share. Currently, even the biggest players are lowering prices,” said Yang at an event last month.
SVolt Energy Technology, which was spun off from carmaker Great Wall Motor and the seventh-largest battery maker in China, abandoned plans in May to build a battery plant in eastern Germany, citing uncertainty over planning, tariffs and subsidies, as well as the loss of a leading customer.
But Shang at Wood Mackenzie cautioned that Chinese battery manufacturers, even the bigger ones, are likely to face challenges in their overseas ambitions as they face a different regulatory environment as well as the geopolitical uncertainty. “Chinese companies want to go overseas but they are becoming more realistic,” Shang said.
In the first seven months of the year, 19 battery gigafactory projects were cancelled or postponed in China, according to London-based research firm Benchmark Mineral Intelligence. That has only accelerated an existing pullback of investment into battery plants as electric-vehicle manufacturers — mainly in Europe — grapple with slowing sales.

Although production delays were cited as one of the reasons for cancellation, BMW may also be reviewing its cell demand, given the slowdown in EV sales. The cooling down of demand has also led to a significant drop in the prices of critical battery raw materials such as nickel cobalt and lithium.
As demand in the power and energy storage markets wanes, battery cell manufacturers, in an effort to deplete existing inventory, scale back the utilization rate of production capacity. This, in turn, contributes to an industry-wide reduction in operational rates.
Here are five common reasons why your battery might die: 1. Age of the Battery. Batteries don''t last forever. As they age, their ability to hold a charge diminishes. If your battery is approaching or has exceeded its warranty period, it might be time for a replacement. Regularly check the battery''s age, usually marked on the label, and ...
"Suspending orders" is mainly because the price of upstream lithium salt has risen sharply, which has led to some downstream lithium battery companies and energy storage companies that are unprofitable in the large-scale energy storage business line, and then take the initiative to "strike".
