In December, the overall operating rate of electrolytes was approximately 41.44%, dropping by about 2 percentage points compared to November. The growth rate of demand in the end-use market slowed in December, leading to an overall decline in demand, which resulted in a reduction in the operating rate of electrolyte factories. Looking ahead to January, end-use demand is expected to continue declining, thereby driving a slight drop back in electrolyte demand, with the operating rate in January projected to reach approximately 37.65%.
