China is one of the most important markets for new energy vehicles. This is the Part 3 of the report on 2015 Top 10 Lists on electric car (EV) lithium-ion battery (LIB) manufacturers and cathode material, anode material, electrolyte and separator suppliers in China, released by CCID Consulting and itdcw.com. (Please also see Part 1 and Part 2)
Electrolyte Suppliers
China produced more than half of the electrolyte in the world in recent years (for example, the percentage was 51.7% in 2012). In 2014, 42 thousand tons were sold. The production was estimated at over 50 thousand tons in 2015.
Current production capacity is 10 thousand tons/year. Planned total capacity will be 45 thousand tons/year. Revenue in the first half of 2015 is $26.2 million (or 0.17 billion yuan), increased by 18.39% as compared with the same period in 2014. The customers include Samsung, Panasonic, Sony, Lishen, BYD, BAK and Coslight. The company sells chemicals for capacitors as well. In 2014, R&D expenses were 4.61% of the revenue.
Current production capacity is 12 thousand tons/year (including 5 thousand tons at Kaixin, acquired in 2014). Revenue in the first half of 2015 is $11.6 million (or 75 million yuan). Tinci supplies electrolyte products to customers such as Guoxuan, Wanxiang A123, Coslight, BYD and Sony. 5.1% of the revenue from the first half of 2015 was put into R&D. It also makes lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) currently at 1,000 tons/year and plans to expand to 4,000 tons/year soon. The company can see significant growth in profit thanks to the recent price jump of battery raw materials. (Please see our previous article on Lithium-ion Battery Supply Chain Alert!
