Lithium-ion batteries is an ideal choice for a new generation of green energy, it has a high specific energy storage, long cycle life, environmental advantage, etc. In another words,
lithium-ion batteries is in a good opportunity for development as the goal of
lithium power industry in the world.
The world's lithium industry "Tripod" development has its own characteristics.
Llithium-ion battery production-oriented lithium power industry has achieved rapid development in the global for nearly 10 years. It was benefited from the renewed stability handset market growth and consumer notebook PCs pull in the global in 2007. Sales of
lithium-ion battery increased rapidly to about 30 billion pieces.
For example, Japan, South Korea and Chinese manufacturers dominate the layout of the global lithium-ion battery. From a technical point of view, Japanese companies are still at a leading position. It has high degree of automation production equipment. China and South Korea import equipment and technology from Japan through digestion and absorption, and then improve constantly.
Japanese
lithium-ion batteries are almost more than the sum of China and South Korea in the domestic production of large in previous years. In addition to some for domestic consumption, the majority of products are for export in the
United States, Europe, Middle East, China and other countries. Japanese lithium-ion batteries leads to higher cost relative to the competitiveness of Japanese companies and market share decrease is mainly due, but the core technology still has more distinct advantages in Japan than China and South Korea.
In 2000, Japan accounted for 93.9% of the global market share of lithium
power industry. In 2007, Japan's global market share of sales dropped to 43%, but still over 50% of the global market in the Japanese were lithium batteries market.
According to the relevant data, it shows that in 2008 demand for
lithium-ion battery market is 2.87 billion, annual growth rate of more than 20%. Lithium-ion
batteries will reach 3.99 billion in 2013 demand.
This year, governments have increased for new energy vehicles in support. In March of this year, President Obama signed an economic stimulus package for 2015 America's new energy vehicles production capacity to reach the size of 10 million per year. At the same time, Nissan, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz and other auto giants have also moved into new energy
cars generous R & D and production continued.
