Institution: The battery price stabilized in November, and it is expected to rise slightly in 2025. On December 12, according to the latest research of TrendForce Jibang Consulting, in November 2024, the sales of electric vehicles in China continued to increase, which boosted the demand for power batteries, and the price of Ferrous lithium phosphate batteries remained stable, while the ternary batteries declined slightly. The demand for batteries in the energy storage market maintained the peak season characteristics, and with the price advantage of large-capacity batteries, the proportion of shipments increased. However, the average price of energy storage batteries continued to decline in November due to the slowdown in demand for orders at the end of the year. The agency expects that the price of some lithium battery materials may rise slightly in the peak season of 2025, which is expected to repair the serious losses of the company in the early stage. However, due to the fact that the relationship between supply and demand has not changed from surplus to shortage, the expected increase in material prices is limited, and battery manufacturers actively control costs, the battery price trend will be stable next year.Increase to 6 flights per week.
