South Korea says it wants to increase the localization rate of battery materials

South Korea's domestic lithium battery market will increase significantly, but currently only 20% of Korea's domestic production of lithium battery raw materials, the more battery production, the amount of imported materials from Japan will also be more, so South Korea needs to increase the localization of battery materials .

The report pointed out that the Korea Industrial Research Institute released the report on “Korean Lithium Battery Industry Development Strategy Assessment and Future Issues” on the 30th and made the above statement. It also pointed out that South Korea needs to actively promote related policies to ensure material development technology and find effective access to materials. Methods.

According to reports, the proportion of the four core materials for anode materials, cathode materials, separation membranes, and electrolytes for lithium batteries is respectively 70%, 1%, 25%, and 86%. Compared with Japan, South Korea's related parts and components, materials and core technologies are only 50% and 30% of Japan's.

The report also pointed out that with the further promotion of electric vehicles, the global lithium battery market may increase from last year's 13 trillion won (about 78 billion yuan) to 41 trillion won in 2015. Interestingly, last year's lithium battery for automobiles accounted for only 1.6% of the entire lithium battery market, but it may increase to 43% by 2015.
