The export value of lithium-ion batteries is growing rapidly, and it has increased to 15.94 billion U.S. dollars in 2020

Battery is a device for energy conversion and storage. Its industry is subdivided and there are many categories. The battery manufacturing industry in my country is both a traditional industry and an important part of the new energy industry. It is closely related to multiple strategic emerging industries such as new energy vehicles, renewable energy, modern electronic information, new materials, and equipment manufacturing. It is also the most important basic industry in my country's national economic construction.

Battery products have a wide range of applications and a very important role in ensuring the needs of national defense strategy and meeting the diverse needs of the public's work and life consumption.

Batteries can be divided into chemical batteries, physical batteries and biological batteries according to the original energy that produces electrical energy.

The export value of lithium-ion batteries has grown rapidly, and it has increased to 15.94 billion U.S. dollars in 2020.

Currently, chemical batteries are used The battery with the widest range and application field is closely related to human social and economic activities. Chemical batteries are divided into primary batteries and secondary batteries according to whether they can be recycled. Primary batteries, also known as primary batteries, are batteries whose active materials can only be used once, and cannot be recharged after the power is exhausted, such as zinc-manganese batteries and lithium metal batteries;

Secondary battery, also known as storage battery, is a rechargeable battery, that is, a battery that can be recharged after the power is exhausted, such as lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries, nickel-hydrogen batteries, etc.

The export scale of chemical batteries continues to increase

At present, my country is the world’s largest chemical battery production base, and the overseas market is China The most important market in the chemical battery industry. According to statistics from the General Administration of Customs, since 2016, my country’s total export volume and export value of chemical batteries have shown a continuous growth trend. In 2020, my country’s total chemical battery exports will total 34.144 billion units, and the total export value will be 21.768 billion US dollars. new highs.

The export volume advantage of dry battery is still obvious

From the perspective of export volume structure, the current dry battery products composed of ordinary zinc manganese batteries and alkaline manganese batteries are China’s chemical battery exports In 2020, the export volume of ordinary zinc manganese batteries and alkaline manganese batteries was 16.604 billion and 13.189 billion, respectively, accounting for 48.63% and 38.63% of the total export volume. Other battery exports accounted for less than 5%.

Currently, my country’s The world's largest dry battery production base, but also the world's largest dry battery exporter. According to statistics from the General Administration of Customs, since 2016, the total export volume of dry batteries in my country has shown an upward trend. In 2020, the total export volume of dry batteries in my country will reach 29.79 billion, a new high. Among them, the export volume of ordinary zinc manganese batteries and alkaline manganese batteries They were 16.604 billion and 13.189 billion respectively.
