Hot sales of lithium batteries reflect new development momentum
——"Chinese vitality" in the data ⑥
Not long ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released data that in the first half of this year, the main indicators of my country's lithium-ion battery industry achieved rapid growth, with output exceeding 280 GWh , a year-on-year increase of 150%, and the industry's revenue exceeded 480 billion yuan. is based on the industry. Last year, the national lithium-ion battery production reached 324 GWh, a year-on-year increase of 106%. The data in the first half of this year was a high growth based on a high base; looking at the world, China's lithium battery production capacity currently accounts for half of the global total production capacity The above demonstrates the leading advantages of my country's lithium battery industry.

is from point to line. As the upstream link of the industrial chain of new energy vehicles, the lithium battery industry maintains a good development momentum, fully reflecting the market's balance The strong demand for new energy vehicles. draws a graph of the growth rate of production of lithium batteries and new energy vehicles. It is not difficult to find that the two have almost maintained synchronous growth. In the first half of the year, the production and sales of new energy vehicles reached 2.661 million and 2.6 million respectively, an increase of 1.2 times year-on-year, and the production and sales scale reached a new high. The automobile industry has a long industrial chain, wide coverage and strong driving force, and is an important pillar industry of the national economy. The stable growth of the lithium battery industry has enabled the automobile industry to more strongly support China's manufacturing from big to strong. In the long run, with the rapid penetration of lithium-ion batteries in energy storage power stations, 5G base stations and other fields, the lithium-ion energy storage industry will usher in explosive growth. It is estimated that by 2025, the cumulative installed capacity of my country's lithium battery energy storage will reach 50 GW, with a market space of about 200 billion yuan. plays the role of permeability and diffusion of science and technology, and can provide more source supply, scientific and technological support and new growth space for the high-quality development of .
From line to surface, emerging industries such as lithium batteries, new energy vehicles, and energy storage have grown rapidly, not only showing strong development resilience in economic operation, but also becoming an important engine for industrial structure transformation and helping the high-quality development of manufacturing. Since the beginning of this year, despite the complex and severe external environment, the trend of my country's economic innovation leadership in continuous strengthening and upgrading and development has not changed. In the first half of the year, the added value of high-tech manufacturing above designated size increased by 9.6% year-on-year, and investment in high-tech industries increased by 20.2%; in the second quarter, the added value growth rate of small industries such as lithium-ion batteries, electronic components, , and integrated circuits were all at 20. %above. new momentum has grown rapidly, and its leading role continues to emerge, providing important support for alleviating downward pressure on the economy, promoting the stability of the employment market, and promoting the stable and healthy economic development.
continues to stimulate the vitality of emerging industries, and we should continue to maintain strategic determination and strive to make more breakthroughs in technological innovation. In the first half of this year, despite the impact of factors such as the epidemic and the rise in prices of some raw materials, thanks to the decline in battery costs and performance improvements brought about by technological innovation, the supply quality of power battery products is higher, and the industry is stronger, which has effectively promoted new products. The energy vehicle industry has achieved stable and rapid development. Grasping innovation is grasping development, and seeking innovation is planning for the future. Continuously improving relevant supporting facilities to support the development of emerging industries and strengthening service guarantees will surely help enterprises concentrate on improving their scientific and technological innovation capabilities and cultivate more new development momentum.
my country's economy has shifted from a stage of high-speed growth to a stage of high-quality development. It is in a critical period of changing the development model, optimizing the economic structure, and transforming growth momentum. It is urgently necessary to make major innovations more and more sustainable. Nowadays, the record of the number of new market entities in my country is constantly being refreshed, and innovative leading enterprises with international competitiveness are accelerating their emergence. Only by strengthening basic research, improving the integrated layout of application development and technological innovation, and further strengthening the leading position of enterprises in innovation, can we shape more leading development that relies on innovation-driven and give full play to the first-mover advantage.
With the deepening of relevant research, lithium batteries, which have been widely used, will usher in broader development prospects. Seize the opportunities of the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, adapt to the trend of consumption quality improvement and upgrading, and provide a good development environment for the growth and growth of more strategic emerging industries. We will surely continuously improve the modernization level of the industrial chain and supply chain and create future development New advantages and write a new chapter in high-quality development.
