DALLAS, September 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

Global and China Li-ion Power Battery Industry Report, 2014-2016 is a September 2014 market research spread across 195 pages. Profiling 15+ power battery companies from across the globe, this market analysis, now available with ChinaMarketResearchReports.com, is supported with 190+ charts on the global and Chinese Li-ion power batter industry. In 2013, the sales volume of global electric vehicles reached 228,000 vehicles, including 95,000 PHEVs and 133,000 BEVs. With the further promotion of electric vehicles globally, the sales volume will rise to 700,000 vehicles by 2016. Complete report is available with ChinaMarketResearchReports.com at http://www.chinamarketresearchreports.com/114912.html .

The Global and China Li-ion Power Battery Industry Report, 2014-2016 mainly covers the followings: Analysis of industry chain, including the key materials, Cells, Pack & BMS, etc.; Analysis of technology roadmap, including battery cost, performance, and development directions, etc.; Market size, sales volume ,supply relationship, etc. of global and Chinese electrical vehicle industry; Shipment, market size, price, supply relationship, etc. of global and Chinese Li-ion Power Battery industry; Operation, technology, development plan, production & marketing of nine lithium battery separator companies in the world, mainly of Korea, Japan and USA and Operation, technology, development plan, production & marketing of ten lithium battery separator companies in China. The global demand for electric vehicle power batteries came to 5,662MWh in 2013; however, following the rising electric vehicle sales and battery capacity per vehicle, the figure is expected to climb to 31,100MWh by 2016.

Currently, the global power batteries develop mainly in the following three technology roadmaps:

Manganese-based. This type of batteries uses LMO as cathode materials. Typically, however, after modification treatment, they are mixed with a small amount of NCM or LNO to increase their energy density. This is mainly represented by the foreign companies-including LGC, AESC, and LEJ, as well as the Chinese company CITIC GUOAN MGL. Now, this has become the mainstream technology roadmap in the field of global electric vehicles.

Ternary materials-based. This mainly takes NCA and NCM as cathode materials. NCM-based batteries have high energy density, but with higher costs than that of LMO batteries. The typical companies consist of SDI and SKI from abroad and the Chinese Lishen and Wangxiang Group, etc. NCA adopts 18650-type battery, which is mainly used in Tesla, with the highest energy density for now. But because of poor safety performance, the advanced BMS is needed to monitor the operating condition of the battery. Thus, the battery has not been widely used.

LFP-based. Canada and the United States were the first to develop power battery technology, with main patent owners including the U.S. Valence, A123 and University of Texas, and the Canadian Phostech and Hydro-Quebec. On the other hand, there are numerous power battery companies in China such as BYD and Hefei Guoxuan High-Tech Power Energy Co.,Ltd that adopt the LFP technology, but the LFP battery has many problems and was not made available around the world.

Major Power Lithium Battery Manufacturers of Korea profiled in this research include LG Chemical, SDI and SK Innovation. Lithium-ion Power Battery Companies of Japan profiled in this report include Panasonic, AESC and LEJ. Major Power Lithium Battery Manufacturers of Europe and America profiled in this industry research are Li-Tec & Accumotive, A123 and Valence.

Global and China Li-ion Power Battery Industry Report, 2014-2016 says at present, manganese-series power battery consisting of NCM and LMO occupies the mainstream status on a global scale, with the cost of battery pack generally higher than USD600/kWh; the lower-cost NCA 18650 batteries fail to be popular with automakers due to safety issues; the similarly lower-cost LFP batteries, because of the poor comprehensive performance, are only popularized and used in China and the United States, while the U.S. automakers have gradually abandoned LFP batteries and turned on purchasing Mn-series batteries from Japanese and S. Korean companies.

There is no major technological breakthrough yet in power battery. The main driving factors for power battery price collapses are expected to come from the material cost reduction and scale effect, with relatively limited downslide potential. China's power battery shipments reached 533MWh in 2013, which increased by 61% year on year and accounted for less than 10% of the world's total. At present the main demand comes from electric city bus. As the charging facilities are not perfect in China, the private electric passenger cars are rarely sold.

In terms of power battery companies, BYD and Guoxuan High-Tech have the shipments that have far exceeded those of their rivals. And BYD batteries are mainly used to support its own electric passenger cars and buses while Guoxuan High-Tech supplies batteries to JAC, Ankai Bus and other auto makers.

For power battery companies, winning the support of big carmakers is of the utmost importance from a global perspective. It is projected that electric buses will still be the main driving forces behind the development of China's power battery market for some time to come. How to penetrate the electric bus supply chain seems crucial.
