Against the backdrop of a sluggish global economy and rising trade protectionism, the lithium battery sector, bolstered by the joint forces of EVs and energy storage demands, is projected to reach 1.47 TWh in production by 2024 and soar to 3.86 TWh by 2030. However, excess supply has led to intense competition within the industry, making technological innovation and industrial upgrading crucial. Consequently, new batteries and materials like solid-state, sodium-ion, silicon anodes, and hard carbon have become industry focal points. According to ICCSINO data, global lithium battery anode material production is forecasted to hit 2.14 million tons in 2024 and surpass 5 million tons by 2030, with silicon anode penetration exceeding 30%. Amid a complex market landscape, the anode market is undergoing significant changes, featuring established players and newcomers showcasing innovative technologies. Advances in continuous graphitization, silicon-carbon anodes, hard carbon anodes, and raw material development are driving industry progress. Additionally, frequent announcements of solid- state battery advancements, large orders for cylindrical batteries, and practical sodium-ion battery solutions are bringing new dynamics and opportunities to the anode material market.
In response, ICCSINO will host the "2025 18TH Synthetic & Natural Graphite Forum (SNGC) " in Changzhou from March 12-13, 2025. The event will explore development paths and timelines for various battery forms, strategies for anode enterprises to build competitive advantages, hallenges and solutions for new silicon-based and hard carbon anodes, and trends in raw materials like needle coke, petroleum coke, and natural graphite. Through technical sharing, business negotiations, exhibitions, and brainstorming sessions, the summit aims to foster R&D updates, technological iterations, supply-demand cooperation, and industrial advancements across the lithium battery anode supply chain. It will also facilitate exchanges in academic research, process practices, equipment applications, and industrialization, serving as a platform for deep integration within the lithium battery anode industry. ICCSINO looks forward to your participation!
