Japan monopolizes lithium battery materials, wants to squeeze China at ten times the high price, but was "killed" by China

Japan's new energy industry is very strong, but in the case of monopoly of lithium battery materials, but it can not control the research and development of Chinese lithium batteries. Even if Japan presses China at ten times the high price, it is still killed by China. Why is it?

Japan in the field of lithium battery materials, seized the opportunity, although Japan has always wanted to use monopoly in our country, but hit the wrong idea, in the early 1990s Japanese SONY company took the lead in using lithium battery and promote the operation of commercialization, all kinds of using lithium battery camera equipment and other electronic products a large number of sold to the world.

At the beginning of the 20th century using lithium battery products has undergone great changes, mainly used in mobile phones and computer laptops, and Japan once reached almost cover lithium ion battery several components market global, occupy a good lithium battery product material advantage, once with monopoly situation reached the cathode material more than 96% of the market, and many Japanese enterprises, lithium battery market also in the crazy gold.

Even Japanese enterprises buy natural graphite from China as raw materials for producing lithium batteries, and then resell them into raw materials to China. The price is more than 10 times that of buying raw materials from China. Facing this situation, many Chinese enterprises also begin to work hard and strive to make achievements in the lithium battery industry.

This situation was not until 2010, that as Chinese enterprises vigorously developed the research and development and production of lithium batteries, and had the strength to join the competition in the lithium battery industry, Japan gradually reversed the monopoly situation of breaking the industrial coverage.

Relevant Japanese media have also reported on this, after the investigation and research data analysis found that the original Japanese control of the extremely rich advantages of lithium battery raw materials of several components!

At present around the world market has gradually been Chinese enterprises take the cake, not only preferential price, stable production supply, and product quality is not inferior to Japanese lithium battery raw materials, in this case, Japanese enterprises are difficult from the hands of Chinese enterprises to build lithium battery main competitive market back.

That is to say, in just more than 10 years, Chinese enterprises from cannot produce lithium battery raw materials have exceeded the Japanese enterprise production technology and ability, even grabbed the Japanese enterprises in the world most of the market, including Japan's most advantage, accounting for the most lithium battery anode materials is no exception by Chinese enterprise competition under the market customers.

Interesting to say, companies that cannot squeeze Japan's advantages came first to Shanshan Group, which makes suits.This is also because the enterprise has been looking for transformation projects, so it invested a billion yuan to cooperate with Anshan Thermal Energy Research Institute to buy the most advanced "intermediate phase carbon microsphere" lithium battery cathode technology in China at that time.

In just two years, phase carbon ball can reach 200 tons of capacity every year, although does not sound terrible, but actually material price for 300000 yuan per ton below, this move, directly break the monopoly of Japanese enterprises, Japanese enterprises can not use independent pricing to obtain profits, even began to feel huge pressure and competition from Chinese enterprises soon Japanese companies began to close the production line, quit the competition of lithium battery materials, the market is back step by step by Chinese companies.

Shanshan group become the pioneer of lithium battery material, bet and China baoan group, the lithium battery anode material as the focus of emerging business, and improve natural graphite as lithium battery anode material, realize production began to enter the overseas market, soon grew into the world's top five lithium battery anode material supply enterprises.

At the same time, with the support of national policies, the use of lithium batteries as power support for new energy vehicles has appeared a booming situation, and this advantage is not compared with the small electronic products using lithium batteries in Japan.

With the gradual expansion of the industrialization scale of new energy vehicles in China, the market of lithium battery materials has also begun to increase and rise. The stable development of the industry has reached 16.4 billion yuan in 2020, which has increased by 6 times more than a few years ago.

In this situation, Japan's lithium battery predecessors, SONY company is unable to support and expand, the battery business price began to transfer, so Japan's new energy vehicles has become some passive, look at China's lithium battery production enterprises are in the stage of vigorous development, and also in research and development upgrade of silicon carbon negative lithium battery materials and invest more scientific research strength and support.

Visible Japanese monopoly lithium battery global industry will go forever, the future of China's lithium battery industry is likely to become the main global supply, Japan was China, many Japanese enterprises produce lithium battery production, also had to finally withdraw from the competition, for the rapid rise of Chinese enterprises and development, to the Japanese enterprises, who let them greedy, always high profits to sell, Japan now regret is too late.
