China Cathode Material (NCM/NCA/LFP) Industry PEST Analysis and Top 14 Manufacturers 2017-2020 - Research and Markets

The "China Cathode Material (NCM/NCA/LFP) Industry PEST Analysis and Top 14 Manufacturers In-Depth Survey, 2017 to 2020 Forecast" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

The TOP 10 LFP material manufactures in China accounts for nearly 85% of the market share, yet it doesn't stop other enterprises stepping into the market. According to statistics, along with the operation of LFP capacities under construction, the total LFP capacity will reach 250 kilotons in 2018, which will be highly above the demand of around 90 kilotons. LFP batteries will be mainly used in electric buses and gradually turn to energy storage use in the future.

China has many NCM & NCA manufacturers, but all of them are not as strong as their foreign rivals. According to GGII, by the end of 2016, there's no manufacturers in China shipped NCM & NCA over 8000 tons. The homogenization is serious and most of their products are 523 and 111. Besides, lacking of core patents and duplicate construction of low-end projects are still problems.

Currently the NCM patents are mainly held on the hands of 3M and Argonne National Laboratory. Competitors like BASF and Umicore purchase right to the use of these patents, while Chinese manufacturers are lack of such awareness. This could cause patent disputes on export when NCM widely used in the industry.

Currently manufacturers in China, such as CATL, GEM, Guoxuan High-tech Power, B&M Science and Technology, etc., are under development of high-nickelic NCM/NCA materials. But this kind of material has high technical barriers, particularly in the preparation technics and production environment. Many technique difficulties are still awaiting domestic manufacturers to deal with.
