Global and China Lithium Battery Anode Materials Industry Report, 2014-2017NEW YORK, March 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Lithium battery is composed mainly of cathode materials, anode materials, separator, and electrolyte, of which anode materials make up 5%-15% of lithium-ion battery costs, being one of important raw materials for lithium battery. Global lithium battery anode materials are now still dominated by natural graphite and artificial graphite, together accounting for roughly 85% in 2014. However, novel materials like mesocarbon microbeads (MCMB), lithium titanate (or lithium titanium oxide, LTO), and other anode materials see rapid growth in output. As of the end of 2014, there were more than 50 producers of lithium battery anode materials in China, and most of them entered the field after 2010. In 2014, the top five lithium battery anode materials producers (by capacity) were BTR, Ningbo Shanshan, Shenzhen Sinuo Industrial Development, Jiangxi Zichen Technology, and Jiangxi Zhengtuo New Energy Technology, with their capacities totaling 67,000 tons, and BTR and Ningbo Shanshan taking approximately 60% of the Chinese market. In recent years, due to falling cell price and fiercer competition in anode materials market in China, the prices and profits of anode materials in China continued to slide, and the trend is expected to last for the next three years. This will have small- and medium- sized enterprises lacking funds and technological innovation capabilities caught in deep waters, and even taken over or eliminated for some companies. Global and China Lithium Battery Anode Materials Industry Report, 2014-2017 by ResearchInChina focuses on the following: Market size and competitive landscape of global lithium battery anode materials industry; Market size, competitive landscape, price trend and development forecast of China lithium battery anode materials industry; Supply & demand, competitive landscape, supporting relationship between upstream and downstream, development forecast of global and China lithium battery industry; Operation, anode materials business, and development forecast of 15 global and Chinese anode materials producers.
