Currently, as the wheel of global energy transformation rolls forward, the power battery industry competition has entered the second half, with risks of overcapacity in the supply chain emerging. Li Nan pointed out that in the past few years, the core task of lithium battery factories was to increase capacity and expand production. Now, it has entered the "midfield battle."

According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: in 2022, national lithium-ion battery production reached 750GWh, a year-on-year increase of over 130%; from January to April 2023, national lithium-ion battery production reached 240GWh, a year-on-year increase of about 36%, with growth slowing. Additionally, according to the "China New Energy Vehicle Power Battery Industry Development White Paper (2023)", in 2022, the power battery inventory across the entire industry chain hit a record high of 164.8GWh.

"In the first half, everyone focused on production to get products out. As equipment and process standardization increase, technical differences between manufacturers shrink. At this point, the key competition is no longer capacity but cost-effectiveness and quality. Use extreme cost reduction and efficiency improvement to meet challenges."

Li Nan believes that competition in the lithium battery industry has intensified, making manufacturing cost reduction increasingly critical. Drawing from the experience of the泛 semiconductor industry, self-sufficiency rate improvement brings oversupply issues. Under full load, high yield rates, and full production and sales, digitalization and intelligence must be elevated. Through applications like industrial internet, pursue极致 yield, efficiency, and cost. Many lithium battery companies are strengthening internal capabilities from R&D innovation, cost reduction, efficiency improvement, supply chain expansion, and ESG to应对 industry changes. Specifically, Li Nan suggests:

Demand quality capacity from old factories: Through data-driven production control, process and quality optimization, and integrated equipment engineering management, improve process and quality stability to achieve quality capacity.

Demand ramp-up speed from new factories: Front-load smart manufacturing concepts, form series standards for new factory construction, shorten construction and ramp-up time for domestic and overseas new factories.

Demand rapid iteration from R&D: Use big data to accelerate R&D parameter optimization, shift from "reverse design" to "forward design," shorten product development time.

Demand energy saving and generation: Actively apply green electricity like rooftop photovoltaics;深入 energy usage scenarios, combine management and technical reforms, use AI for energy optimization, manage and reduce carbon, improve ESG management.

As a globally competitive new energy digital intelligence service provider, amidst the "midfield battle" in the lithium battery industry, Getech will use our digital technology and practical experience to help more lithium battery companies strengthen their internal capabilities, win the second half together, and achieve sustainable growth.
