With the rapid development of China's new energy automobile industry, the market demand for power batteries has soared in the past two years, and the power battery industry has ushered in a "golden period." At the same time as Chinese companies expand their production and lay out overseas markets, foreign lithium giants are also targeting the Chinese market, and they are “landingâ€.
It is predicted that the output of lithium-ion batteries in China will reach 7.35 billion in 2017, and the compound annual growth rate is expected to be 7.17% in 2017-2021. Foreign companies are optimistic about the Chinese lithium battery market, covering the four major materials market of upstream positive and negative materials, separators and electrolytes.
Japan Wu Yu Chemical produces fluorocarbon materials in China

The expansion project is expected to cost 160 million euros and is planned to reach three times the current capacity by 2018. According to the person in charge of Umicore's secondary battery materials in China, the expansion is mainly to meet the explosive growth of pure electric vehicle battery materials in the Chinese market.
According to the information, Umicore is a global materials technology group, which is divided into three major businesses: Catalysis, Energy & Surface Treatment Technology and Recycling, and provides materials and solutions at the forefront of technology development.
Morita Chemical expands lithium hexafluorophosphate at its new plant in Huajian
According to a report in March 2017, the lithium hexafluorophosphate lithium battery electrolyte project jointly invested by the world's top 500 companies, Morita Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., Sumitomo Corporation, and Morita New Energy Materials (Zhangjiagang) Co., Ltd., settled in the Taixing Economic Development Zone. The project has invested a total of 100 million US dollars, designed to produce 10,000 tons of lithium hexafluorophosphate and 48,000 tons of hydrochloric acid per year. It is estimated that the annual sales will be 1.7 billion yuan.
It is reported that Morita New Energy was established in 2004, and the existing lithium hexafluorophosphate capacity is 3,000 tons / year. Since its establishment, the reputation has been good.
According to the data, Morita Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. is a company with more than 70 years of professional production of fluorine compounds, and is a world leader in this field.
Freudenberg layout ceramic diaphragm in China
According to media reports, in May 2017, Freudenberg held a press conference in Beijing, which will strengthen its layout in China and focus on the development of new energy transportation, including battery diaphragm technology.
Liu Xiang, sales manager of Freudenberg Breguet (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., revealed to the battery China network that Freudenberg diaphragms achieve excellent performance in temperature stability, porosity and wettability through innovative ceramic insert technology. In the process, polyester nonwovens are used as carriers that support material flexibility on a variety of battery design lines.
It is understood that compared to traditional products, Freudenberg's safety diaphragm has obvious advantages. It greatly enhances safety and is more resistant to heat, thereby increasing the life of the lithium battery. At present, Freudenberg diaphragms have been tested by high-energy cathode systems. In the face of the rapid growth of electric vehicles and the demand for battery energy density, Freudenberg diaphragms will effectively improve reliability and safety.
According to the information, Freudenberg is a global technology group headquartered in Germany, providing innovative technologies and solutions for many industries. In the automotive industry, Freudenberg offers a wide range of products including sealing, damping control technology components, filtration products, nonwovens, mold release agents and lubricants to a wide range of automotive manufacturers.
Throughout the world, the four major materials of lithium battery show the great situation of China, Japan and Korea. Lithium-ion materials in Japan, South Korea and Europe and the United States started early, and the overall technical level and quality control capability were superior to those of China's lithium-ion materials industry. With the continuous layout of foreign giants in China, it will bring new opportunities to enterprises while bringing shocks to domestic enterprises.
From the layout of foreign companies in China, it can be seen that although domestic enterprises have good conditions of time, location and people, they lack the high-end core technology and give international companies the opportunity to divide the Chinese market. The layout of international enterprises in China has driven the rapid growth of the lithium battery market. If domestic enterprises cannot learn from foreign advanced technologies in essence, the biggest benefit will be foreign companies. Only independent innovation can achieve industrial upgrading!
