Battery foil: new energy drive, broad demand space

New energy vehicle power battery is the main application field of lithium battery. The wave of electrification of the global automotive industry has arrived, and the domestic market of related industries such as new energy, new materials, 5G base station construction, and medical equipment has ushered in vigorous development. As the core component of new energy vehicles, power batteries still have several times the room for growth in the future.

Aluminum foil because of its excellent characteristics, widely used in various industries, in recent years, benefiting from the rapid development of global new energy vehicles, power batteries into a rapid growth period, upstream material battery aluminum foil market demand has also grown rapidly. Battery aluminum foil is mainly used in power, energy storage battery positive current collector materials, compared with ordinary battery foil, as a battery current collector aluminum foil requirements are higher, thickness requirements are controlled at 10-50 microns, some battery factories even use 8 micron aluminum foil.

Benefiting from the rapid development of new energy vehicles around the world, power batteries will enter a period of rapid growth. As major countries have formulated plans to ban the sale of fuel vehicles, the global new energy vehicle and power battery industry will enter a growth period. According to the new estimates of Changjiang Power, the global power battery industry will continue to grow rapidly in the next 5 years, and it is expected that the global installed capacity of power batteries will reach 1390GWh by 2025. According to CNKI statistics, the amount of aluminum foil used in 1GWh lithium battery is about 600-800 tons, and the high growth of the power battery industry will also drive battery aluminum foil into the fast lane.
