According to the latest customs statistics, from January to May 2021, Shenzhen exported RMB 10.75 billion (€1.4 billion) of lithium-ion battery chemicals, a figure 61.7% higher than the same period last year.
Batteries
In the first five months of this year, among the main export chemical products markets for lithium batteries in Shenzhen, exports of 2.27 billion yuan to the EU, an increase of 149.9%, accounting for 21.1% of the total value of the city's lithium-ion battery exports during the same period; in addition, exports of 1.29 billion yuan to ASEAN, an increase of 46.1%.
International demand surges shipping pressure
With the spread of the epidemic in the world, subject to long home time, some countries with unstable energy supply and environmental protection factors, such as home solar energy storage power, small industrial energy storage power and other energy storage products, the international demand for rapid growth, enterprises began to face a sharp increase in shipments, the pressure of a large number of inspections. At the same time, since the second half of last year, the international shipping market container supply tends to be tight, the shipping schedule is difficult to deploy, so that the time pressure on the enterprise shipments further intensified.
"Our company exports lithium battery products, the shipping company requires us to provide a dangerous package certificate, but we have never done, please ask what are the specific requirements?" Since this year, Guanlan Customs, a subsidiary of Shenzhen Customs, has often received calls from new energy enterprises for advice, which led to the establishment of a new energy inspection and supervision team to help enterprises export. At present, the double corrugated carton packaging used by the enterprise has passed the Shenzhen Customs Industrial Products Center test, shipping more than 12,000 boxes per week, and the products are in short supply.
Dangerous goods packaging inspection to help exports
The main chemical product of Shenzhen Huabao New Energy Company is outdoor power supply, which is a brand new market segment of lithium battery energy storage power supply. The product caters to the consumer culture of overseas consumers who like outdoor entertainment, and the international market prospect is very broad. However, the main internal components of the product are lithium batteries, which are dangerous goods, and the export of the product needs to apply to the customs department for identification of the use of dangerous goods packaging. As the company has never understood the policy related to the use of dangerous package identification, the person in charge of the company faced with an order can not be exported, very anxious.
Guanlan Customs new energy inspection and supervision team to guide the relevant enterprises, explain the dangerous package inspection policy, inspection procedures, inspection standards, and the development of a detailed inspection program to help enterprises achieve a smooth export and shorten the customs clearance time. At present, the enterprise's products are in short supply, ranking first in Amazon e-commerce sales and hotness. "Our enterprise is currently doing its best to develop the Japanese market and is expected to double its sales in 2021." Hua Bao new energy manager Luo Xiang Wen said.
Global lithium battery giants lay out solid-state batteries
On June 18, 2021, LG New Energy's general manager of marketing in Asia revealed at the 2021 China Automotive Forum that LG New Energy is developing all-solid-state batteries, which are expected to achieve mass production in 2026. In addition to LG New Energy, Ningde Times, BYD, Samsung SDI, SKI, Panasonic and other global lithium battery giants are all laying out solid-state batteries. Global lithium battery giants are laying out the solid-state battery is the future direction of lithium battery development.
There are reports that with the technological upgrade of lithium batteries, cost optimization as one of the new electric energy storage technology, lithium-ion battery energy storage is expected to usher in a period of rapid growth, leading to a significant increase in the installed capacity and share, pulling upstream and midstream link demand is expected to enhance. With leading lithium battery energy storage technology and has been the first to enter the energy storage industry chain suppliers are expected to benefit from the incremental space.
