SMM February 14 News:
In January, China's ESS battery cell production decreased 14% MoM, up 164% YoY.
Demand side, the rush for grid connection projects in China concluded by the end of 2024, leading to a decline in battery cell procurement enthusiasm at the beginning of the year. Meanwhile, the overseas market, influenced by uncertainties surrounding the US presidential election, continued its "rush for installations." As a result, battery cell enterprises with a higher proportion of overseas business still experienced robust order demand. However, overall ESS market demand in January saw a slight decline. Production side, battery cell manufacturers had previously cleared inventory through low-price strategies, and inventory levels have now returned to reasonable levels. With weak demand and moderate inventory, ESS battery cell production also decreased accordingly.
In February, China's ESS battery cell production is expected to decrease 9% MoM, up 214% YoY.
