China in 2007 silicon material, silicon ingots, wafers, cells and modules Pricing

ENF in China’s detailed market research and trade activities for the ENF has been Digital Camera Battery solar energy supply chain, each link in product prices. ENF recently by the Chinese manufacturer of silicon ingots and silicon wafers have been investigated in silicon ingot production to sell the price of silicon ingots and silicon wafer manufacturers selling prices. ENF to help their customers purchase solar cells in China’s trading activities have been the battery ENF piece sale price. For the component is, ENF components of the monthly producer price report for ENF to master the latest changes in component prices.

2007 all aspects of solar energy product supply chain, the average price is as follows:

Silicon material purchase price (Note: Acquisition in China’s domestic and foreign manufacturers of silicon ingots): 1020 yuan per kg

Silicon ingot factory selling price: 1800 yuan per kg (about 14.4 yuan per peak watt)

Wafer factory sales price: 19.8 yuan per peak watt

Battery-chip factory sale price: 23.3 yuan per peak watt

Battery assembly factory sales price: 28.7 yuan per peak watt

Note: polysilicon raw materials, silicon ingots and silicon wafers in 2007, the average price is expected to price, battery-language film is in March 2007 the price and battery components of the price in April 2007 the average price. All prices are based on the company’s projected 2007 DSLR Battery Grip output of the weighted price-weighted.

These prices will certainly fluctuate during the year, in addition, large orders can be assured of lower prices. The price of long-term contracts and short-term contract price is also a great difference. ENF find that the highest price of silicon ingots silicon ingot lowest price three times higher. In the supply line downstream of this difference is relatively small. The highest price of silicon wafers price is higher than the minimum 18%, the highest price component of the components of the price higher than the lowest 24%.

Bad battery posing as “unified” Uni-President Group had no dry products

May 3 hearing, recently, some claiming to be a salesman for a unified group, to some small supermarkets selling “unified battery,” and promised to send refrigerators, display cabinets, also said that could change if the sale can not be “unified” series of instant noodles … … But after purchase many consumers have found this “unity cell” does not help, is simply bad battery.

In this regard, yesterday, Uni-President Enterprises Group, Qingdao, director of business by the new river, said the group does not dry products, the market found “unified battery” may be a number of unscrupulous businesses will directly replace the battery waste “unification” flag, and then Canon EOS 450D Battery Grip packing peddled. Uni-President Enterprises has been informed of Castle Group currently has more than 200 small supermarket, shops at the crook of when, they caution that businesses and consumers to be vigilant.

Multinational giants pointing its sword towards the high-end domestic battery industry, increased competition

In recent years, Johnson Controls, Sony, Sanyo, Hitachi and other well-known enterprises in China have set up their own battery production base in the market from the big cities will be gradually extended to medium-sized cities, and even NEC, Bosch mainly the production of software and appliances based enterprises have begun to extend its business tentacles to the production of battery areas. The influx of multinational companies, so that domestic battery production enterprises face more intense competition.

A few days ago, Nissan, NEC, NEC Tokin jointly announced the establishment of automotive batteries for electric vehicles will set up a lithium-ion rechargeable batteries for mass-production joint venture and joint development of battery packs and battery modules Nissan. Nissan plans to order, led by the world’s supply of auto-related manufacturers rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles is expected to start mass production before 2009.

Prior to this, the U.S. Johnson Controls company in China officially launched its century-old brand Varta car battery. This is the company’s acquisition of another well-known global auto parts supplier Delphi’s global battery business, the route through Delphi China’s production base Canon EOS 500D Battery Grip, distribution channels and customer resources in the Chinese market for the first time shot.

Beginning in 2007, companies doing business in China after another, has been to create a brand of German power tools Bosch began to diversify into new areas – production of batteries and battery sensors. Meanwhile, the U.S. Linear Analog IC also begun to expand the board is committed to the field of lithium battery control, etc.

CUP letter analysis:

Foreign battery manufacturers have factories in China, there are two main reasons: First, as lead-acid batteries are highly polluting products, the European Union, the United States and other developed countries for the protection of their own environmental concerns have long been limited lead-acid battery manufacturing industry in the country’s development, and in turn the major purchases from China and other developing countries. In 2005 the export value of China’s lead-acid batteries as high as 820 million U.S. dollars, compared to 2004 increased by 40%. Second, foreign battery manufacturers optimistic about China’s huge market potential, the world’s major battery manufacturers have invested in China to set up factories in recent years.

Although most of the planned foreign-funded enterprises will be routed to a few years later, the domestic impact of the current market is limited, but this trend can not be overlooked, foreign-funded enterprises is gradually accumulate technological power, and the potential productivity of this new market will become a round of the competition sword.

Lead-acid batteries in China after more than 50 years of development, forming a Canon EOS 1000D Battery Grip Dazhong Xiao producers coexist. The number of firms currently producing about 1200, but mostly small and medium enterprises. According to the National Bureau of Statistics data provided by the end of 2005, lead-acid battery production enterprises with annual sales of more than 5 million yuan of only 204 companies. In addition, battery manufacturers in China still faces many problems:

First, low-end technology products, homogenization serious. At present, China battery manufacturer of products emerging low-end of homogenization phenomenon. R & D department with strength-building enterprises of the batteries are not many, many battery companies growing convergence of product technical performance, business strategy difficult to achieve greater differentiation. Some small and medium enterprises located in low-end market, sales areas are mainly concentrated in the second and third line cities, the lack of long-term development plans.

Second, many battery manufacturers have difficulties in meeting increasingly stringent environmental requirements. Lead-acid batteries are highly polluting products, milling and processing acid 2 produced more pollution to surrounding areas, the domestic producers although some protective measures, but the system, formed when a large number of dust lead powder and sulfuric acid perfusion during the there are still some mist produced by dispersion into the air, can cause severe poisoning, or easily lead to the formation of acid rain. Along with increasing the degree of environmental governance in China, part of the environmental compliance of the enterprises are facing difficult to be eliminated risk. In addition, stringent environmental directives at home and abroad also made battery manufacturers under tremendous pressure. Such as the European Union May 2, 2006 for the adoption of a battery manufacturer’s instructions, requirements starting in 2008, mandatory recycling of used batteries, recovery of costs borne by the manufacturer, which Chinese exports to the EU has had an impact the battery business. Technical strength of the weaker small battery production enterprises will be a greater impact.

Third, faced with the risk of raw material prices. Lead-acid battery is the world’s production of various types of batteries the largest and most widely used as a battery, it consumes the total global consumption of lead accounted for 82% of the amount of lead. Of which: a 36V battery weight 13 kilograms, of which more than 80% of lead. First half of 2006, the price of metallic lead Just 1 yuan / ton, but now risen to 15,000 yuan / ton, or more than 40%. Rise in raw material, making part of the inability to reduce the cost of enterprises are facing difficulties.

At present, China’s battery consumption, mainly in the automotive and motorcycle markets, which account for most of the proportion of consumption accounted for 74%; electric bicycles Secondly, to 8%; exports account for 7% of consumption share, the other occupying the remaining 11% . But with Nikon D40 Battery Grip China’s automobile and motorcycle ownership in the further expansion, as well as the country’s major cities to ban electric bicycles traveling, which stresses further stimulate the lead-acid battery products in the field of consumption. Lead-acid batteries have a huge market space. The proposed commercial banks to focus on the following manufacturers:

The first is technological innovation leader in enterprise. Currently possesses the capability building of battery research and development departments are not many companies, many battery companies growing convergence of product technical performance, business strategy difficult to achieve greater differentiation. Therefore, the ability to actively carry out technological innovation, research and development of new electrode materials and lighter, thinner manufacturing process to further improve battery energy density and safety of environmental performance to be able to make the product maintain its leading position in the industry.

The second is to actively develop new energy battery business with a huge market. Today the structure of the world’s energy is moving in the green direction, new energy batteries will also become a new profit growth point of the market, such as wind, solar photovoltaic cells and other projects every year, rapidly increasing demand for the development of technology related fields will be a future of no small Nikon D40X Battery Grip wealth.
