According to SMM, the weekly combined operating rate of lead-acid battery enterprises across five provinces stood at 56.86% during June 19–25, 2026, down 9.96 percentage points WoW. The week coincided with the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. Starting from the previous Friday (June 12), some lead-acid battery enterprises began their holiday, with breaks ranging from 1–2 days to 3 days, and a few even extended the leave to 5 days, dragging down the weekly operating rate for that week. Next week, as the holiday factor fades and July is about to begin, those enterprises that had been on holiday will resume normal production, driving the weekly operating rate to rebound. It is also worth noting that the off-season trend in the lead-acid battery market has not improved significantly so far. Producers’ orders remain weak, and most enterprises plan to maintain production cuts, staying cautious about lead-acid battery demand in July.

As of late June, replacement demand in the lead-acid battery market remained sluggish. Moreover, due to sales promotions on finished products by some battery enterprises in the first half of the month, battery inventory shifted to dealers, leading to accumulated dealer-side inventory. Meanwhile, the promotional atmosphere in the wholesale battery market weakened, and dealers in some regions intended to restore original selling prices, with the main 48v20Ah model quoted at 400-410 yuan per unit. On the producer side, large enterprises suspended purchases amid the semi-annual period, while other small and medium-sized enterprises engaged in dip-buying as lead prices weakened, though overall spot lead trading volume in the market contracted WoW.

SMM reported on June 23: Dealers in Shandong reflected that end-use consumption in the e-bike lead-acid battery market was sluggish, with multiple brands implementing sales promotions, creating a strong promotional atmosphere in the battery wholesale market. For example, the wholesale price for the main model 48V20Ah was 380 yuan per set. Manufacturers in Jiangxi reported that the off-season trend in the e-bike lead-acid battery market persisted, with dealers showing low procurement enthusiasm. After the holiday, battery orders did not improve, and the factory's operating rate is currently around 70%, with raw material lead mainly being used to digest inventories. Manufacturers in Zhejiang reported that replacement demand in the e-bike lead-acid battery market was weak, and matching orders for complete vehicles were also scarce. Currently, the factory produces based on sales, with the production line operating rate at 70-80%. Additionally, as they had already stockpiled inventory during the earlier period when lead prices fell, there is no plan to purchase in the short term.

SMM June 22 News: End-use consumption in the e-bike lead-acid battery market is sluggish, producers have poor orders, and most are maintaining production cuts. Recently, some province and city governments, in collaboration with automakers, have restarted trade-in subsidies for e-bikes. Currently, regions such as Guangdong, Henan, and Hubei have officially announced that this will be implemented starting in July.

China's imports of lead-acid batteries in May 2026 amounted to 481,400 units, up 3.28 percentage points MoM and up 13.62 percentage points YoY. Combined imports from January to May 2026 reached 2.2611 million units, down 1.57 percentage points YoY.
