Abstracts

Recently, the global rechargeable battery market is becoming an arena for competition among Top 3 countries ?Korea, China and Japan. Medium ?to large-sized batteries such as ESS and xEV applications are expected to be the dividing line between victory and defeat. Lithium rechargeable battery and EV markets are emerging as new growth engines, boosting the growth of related parts and materials industries.

LG Chem and Samsung SDI seek to maintain their dominance in the emerging market as well, focusing on developing business capabilities with huge investment in their existing large-battery batteries, while Japan’s Panasonic and Sony and China’s ATL and Lishen are endeavoring to make a successful entry into the large capacity battery domain.

LG Chem and Samsung SDI are making aggressive R&D efforts for high capacity, high density new materials. Although both companies have suffered losses in the large capacity rechargeable battery business due to excessive initial investment and development expenses , LG Chem is expected to begin to see profits from 2017; and Samsung SDI from 2018 along with the growth of EV and ESS markets. In addition, both companies are endeavoring to diversify suppliers for the 4 key components to achieve both cost reduction and safety.

This report is largely divided into two parts: one is to provide a comprehensive overview about the global li-ion rechargeable battery industry; and the other part is to provide strategies of major li-ion rechargeable battery makers in Korea, China and Japan.

In the introduction part, prospects for global and domestic markets of key LIB components are provided as well as prospects for the global LIB market including small IT and medium-to-large applications (xEVs and ESSs). In the strategy part, the history and current status of LIB business, product line, business strategies, line expansion, parts and component sourcing, and roadmap strategies of leading LIB makers as well as company profiles. Detailed analyses for a total of seven major Korean/Chinese/Japanese companies are provided: three Korean companies (Samsung SDI, LG Chem, SK Innovation), two Japanese companies (Panasonic, Sony), and three Chinese companies (ATL, Lishen,BYD).
