Lithium Grid News: The lithium battery industry has entered the second half of PK. The head companies have accelerated their ability to seize the first-mover advantage of capacity distribution. With the expansion, the head company has ushered in value after the big waves, maintaining the industry's overweight rating.
Summary:
The lithium battery expansion competition has entered the second half, and the giant's vertical and horizontal competitiveness has continued to strengthen, maintaining the industry's overweight rating. We believe that the main battlefield of power lithium batteries will be concentrated among the top ten power lithium battery companies. The strategic planning, technical route, and capacity deployment of the CR10 enterprise have fully demonstrated that the strength of capital and market expansion will be used to promote the formation of the industry. Maintain industry overweight rating.
The square has become mainstream, and the proportion of soft packs has increased rapidly. At the end of 2018, the total production capacity of the whole industry will reach 182GWH. According to our industry analysis, the square production capacity reaches 93.5GWh, the cylindrical production capacity is 50.5GWh and the soft package capacity reaches 38GWh, accounting for 51%, 28% and 21% respectively. 1 square production capacity accounted for half, has become the most important technical route, capacity expansion rate reached 36%, square enterprises' production capacity is mainly concentrated in CATL, BYD, Guoxuan, Lishen, etc., only these four production capacity in 2018 Up to 71.5GWh, accounting for 85.6%, up 4% year-on-year. 2 The cylinder is undergoing technological upgrading. The cylindrical plant has the highest capacity base, and its main expansion is shifting from 18650 to 21700. The overall growth rate has slowed down. 3 soft pack batteries quickly rise due to high energy density, but due to the high technical threshold, the technical principle of square and cylinder is quite different. Therefore, the expansion is mainly concentrated in soft pack leading enterprises such as Fueng Co., Ltd., with an overall production capacity of 38GWh. The production capacity of Guoneng and Kaina reached 13GWh/13GWh/5.8GWh, respectively, accounting for nearly one point higher than the same period of last year.
The effects of industrial clusters have been highlighted. Enterprises represented by giants such as CATL, Guoxuan, BYD, Lishen, etc., by strengthening the production capacity and technology research and development of more than 10 domestic mainstream battery companies, are strengthening the technology research and development on the high-nickel ternary lithium battery, on the other hand to strengthen Supporting the production capacity of the base of the car company, reducing the transportation radius and effectively reducing the cost, and achieving a tight supply capacity. Industrial clusters have laid the foundation for the market, and future industrial competitions will win in well-established enterprises.
The lithium battery industry cluster base and supporting construction around the car factory are underway. Beiqi supply chain: CATL, Guoxuan Hi-Tech, Fueng Technology, Pride and so on. Beiqi New Energy Automobile Manufacturing Base is Daxing Mining Town, and Pride is a core pack supplier in the same industrial zone. The battery company that is currently entering the supply system is investing in the production of power lithium batteries in Shunyi District, closely surrounding the production capacity of BAIC New Energy. Others such as CATL and SAIC are also actively reducing shipping distances and accelerating production.
1. The total amount is rapidly expanding, leading the competition
1.1. Lithium-ion head capacity deployment accelerated, the main pattern has been highlighted
The leading expansion competition has been halfway through, and the head company has outstanding competitiveness and maintains an industry overweight rating. We believe that the main battlefield of power lithium batteries will be concentrated among the top ten power lithium battery companies. The strategic planning, capacity deployment and supporting base construction progress of CR10 enterprise lithium-ion enterprises not only reflect their capital strength and market expansion strength, but also indicate the acceleration of the formation of the lithium battery industry. By comparing the production capacity and technology research and development of more than 10 domestic mainstream battery companies, we believe that the effect of industrial clusters has been highlighted, and industrial clusters have laid the foundation for the market. The future industry competition will be in the well-developed head enterprises. Win. The increase in industry concentration has accelerated the value of the head company and maintained the industry's recommended rating.
The proportion of head capacity has increased, and the living space of SMEs continues to be under pressure. In the past 17 years, the expansion of power battery leaders led by Ningde era and BYD was higher than the industry average. CATL (17GWh), BYD (16GWh) and Guoxuan Hi-Tech (10GWh) continued to rank among the top three, and Beijing Guoneng, Fu Neng Technology, and Tianjin Lishen followed closely, which led to a further increase in industry concentration. The power lithium battery industry capacity CR10 index increased from 44% in 2016 to more than 52% in 2017. The top ten installed capacity in the first 18 years of the year are CATL, Guoxuan Hi-Tech, BYD, BAK Battery, Far East Foster, Guoneng Battery, Wanxiang, Zhihang New Energy, Fueng Technology, and Haguangyu.
The passive expansion of production capacity is nearing the end, and the average production capacity of SMEs with a total capacity of 41% is about 2.5GWh, which is further widened from that of large enterprises. Judging from the capital expenditures of companies such as Aoyang Shunchang, Far East Foster, and Nandu Power, there is basically no plan to continue investing. The 17-year investment is not as good as the previous planning targets. As the concentration of production capacity is rising rapidly, SMEs are limited by capital and technical personnel reserves, and capacity expansion tends to be rationally stagnant, which is relatively conservative in overall capacity planning. The expansion of current production capacity is not limited to the local government resources of the enterprise, but more is the deployment within the transportation radius centered on the car-enterprise customers for the supporting projects.
2. The technical route is fully rolled out: the square has become mainstream, and the proportion of soft packs has increased rapidly.
In 2017, the three types of battery capacity of square, cylindrical and soft packs reached 68.5GWh, 63GWh and 23GWh, respectively, accounting for 45%, 41% and 15% respectively. At the end of 2018, the total production capacity of the whole industry will reach 182GWH. According to our industry analysis, the square production capacity reaches 93.5GWh, the cylindrical production capacity is 50.5GWh and the soft package capacity reaches 38GWh, accounting for 51%, 28% and 21% respectively.
From the trend point of view, 1 square production capacity accounted for half, has become the most important technical route, capacity expansion rate reached 36%, square enterprises' production capacity is mainly concentrated in CATL, BYD, Guoxuan, Lishen, etc., only 4 The total production capacity reached 71.5GWh in 2018, accounting for 85.6% of the total, up 4% year-on-year. The expansion of these companies is relatively large, and it is the main driving force for the high growth rate of the square.
2 Cylindrical capacity expansion is the fastest, with a growth rate of 8%. Our analysis believes that the main reason is that the cylindrical enterprises are fiercely competitive and are currently undergoing technological upgrading. The cylindrical plant has the highest capacity base, and its expansion main force is changing from 18650 to 21700. The speed has slowed down. 3 soft pack batteries quickly rise due to high energy density, but due to the high technical threshold, the technical principle of square and cylinder is quite different. Therefore, the expansion is mainly concentrated in soft pack leading enterprises such as Fueng Co., Ltd., with an overall production capacity of 38GWh. The production capacity of Guoneng and Kaina reached 13GWh/13GWh/5.8GWh respectively.
3. The ternary has become mainstream
The newly added capacity is concentrated in the ternary lithium battery , accounting for 46%. The mainstream trend of the expansion of the ternary expansion of the industry. By the end of 2017 it is expected to lithium iron phosphate battery production capacity of 73.7GWh, accounting for 48 per cent of total capacity, compared with 16 years accounting for up to 20 percentage points. In 2018, from the current enterprise planning, the continuation of the expansion of ternary lithium battery expansion will increase the production capacity of ternary batteries to 112.3GWh, and the proportion will increase to 62%.
In addition, observing the head company, BYD has increased its 5GWh in the ternary expansion in 18 years due to insufficient power in the ternary lithium battery in the previous period. The industry leading CATL ternary capacity has been increased from 8.5GWh to 19.5GWh, and the newly added capacity has reached 11GWh, which has met the supporting planning requirements of many passenger car companies.

5. The passenger car supply chain pattern has taken shape
We believe that the domestic power lithium battery head pattern is basically clear, but the growth of specific enterprises still needs to follow-up observation, and the supply relationship between lithium battery and vehicle enterprises basically shows a prototype.
1) The production capacity of the head enterprise has basically met the demand for vehicle sales throughout the year. At present, the production capacity of the top ten enterprises is 87GWh. If the annual sales volume is 1 million units, 250,000 commercial vehicles and 750,000 new energy passenger vehicles are calculated. A total of 48GWh of power lithium batteries are required. The market share of head lithium battery giants in the commercial vehicle sector is relatively low, and a large number of small and medium-sized lithium battery companies are competing for competition. The 34GWh power lithium battery of the passenger car enterprise has been basically satisfied by the top ten lithium battery companies.
2) There are many supporting modes of lithium battery, which can eliminate the transportation radius and reduce the cost. Participation in equity or joint ventures, and win-win cooperation. Guoxuan Hi-Tech began to transform its ternary in 2016 and participated in the acquisition of EC180 and other models by participating in BAIC New Energy (accounting for 3.75% in 2016). In addition to the extensive binding of passenger cars and commercial vehicle customers, CATL joined hands with the Group in May, the newly established power battery company and the battery PACK company, respectively, the era of SAIC Power Battery Co., Ltd. (CATL holding 51%) and SAIC era power battery System Co., Ltd. (CATL holds 49%). Deeply bound to SAIC through clear division of interests and division of labor.
3) The lithium battery industry cluster base and supporting construction around the car factory are underway. Beiqi supply chain: CATL, Guoxuan Hi-Tech, Fueng Technology, Pride and so on. Beiqi New Energy Automobile Manufacturing Base is Daxing Mining Town, and Pride is a core pack supplier in the same industrial zone. The battery company that is currently entering the supply system is investing in the production of power lithium batteries in Shunyi District, closely surrounding the production capacity of BAIC New Energy. Others such as CATL and SAIC are also actively reducing shipping distances and accelerating production.
SAIC supply chain: CATL, Wanxiang A123, CITIC Guoan, etc.
Geely supply chain: CATL, Guoxuan Hi-Tech, Boston, Polyfluoro, Ha Guangyu, etc.
Jianghuai supply chain: Guoxuan Hi-Tech, Tianjin Lishen, Huasheng Power, etc.;
6. Risk warning
New energy vehicles and power battery sales were lower than expected. The sales of new energy passenger vehicles in 18 years are not in short-term expectations, and the decline in production of downstream automakers affects battery demand, which in turn leads to slow sales of battery products.
