【Anode Material】Demand Steady with High Price Pressure

Market Focus This Week

1. Production: Anode material production remains stable, with on-demand manufacturing. Some companies may slightly reduce output expectations.

2. Demand: Current anode materials are largely fulfilling previous orders, with stable demand. Graphitized carburant has high purity, high conductivity and good chemical stability, which effectively improves the performance of lithium batteries.

Market Analysis This Week

This week, synthetic graphite prices remained stable. High-end power products range from 33,000 to 50,000 CNY/ton, high-end digital products from 48,000 to 68,000 CNY/ton, mid-range products from 23,000 to 35,000 CNY/ton, and low-end products from 15,000 to 22,000 CNY/ton.

Analysis of Raw Material Market Influencing Factors

1. Petroleum Coke: This week, the average price of low-sulfur petroleum coke increased by 2 CNY/ton. Overall, prices remained stable, with minor adjustments at specific refineries. Most refineries are operating normally, fulfilling previous contract orders with no significant price adjustments. Demand for low-sulfur coke from downstream graphite electrode production is insufficient, resulting in weak price stability.

2. Needle Coke: This week, needle coke market production increased, primarily fulfilling previous orders, with a slowdown in new order growth. Needle coke prices remained stable, with mainstream prices for calcined coke at 6,500-7,800 CNY/ton and raw coke at 5,200-5,500 CNY/ton.

Market Forecast for Next Week

In the short term, the demand for anode materials is expected to remain steady, with mainstream market prices stable. However, there is some downward pressure on high-end prices.
