Recently, Hunan Yuneng, a leader in lithium iron phosphate, issued a price adjustment letter announcing a price increase of 2,000 yuan/ton for all products, driving up the industry's price increase sentiment. The Securities Times reporter learned in an interview that after leading companies took the lead in price adjustments, many companies in the industry are also planning to increase prices at the same time. This round of lithium iron phosphate price increases are driven by two factors: on the one hand, on the cost side, the price of upstream raw materials represented by sulfur has risen sharply, and there is an urgent desire to pass on costs upstream; on the other hand, on the market side, downstream demand is strong, and the supply of high-end products is in short supply. The industry generally believes that cost fluctuations will further increase the polarization trend in the lithium iron phosphate industry. Companies with integrated layouts, high-end production capacity, and deep binding to major customers will have an advantage in market competition. Further, this round of price increases may open up space for upstream and downstream price negotiations and rewrite industry pricing rules.
