From the Shenzhen Customs was informed that in January this year, the export at Shenzhen port and battery rapid growth continued last month. According to statistics, in January this year, export at Shenzhen port battery 82.99 million, compared with 29.9% same period last year, but were lower by 27.3%, and the international financial crisis earlier level (January 2008) was still significantly decreased compared to 74.1%; value 130 million U.S. dollars, an increase of 27.8%; the average export price for each of 1.6 U.S. dollars, down 1.6%.
It is understood that the ThinkPad T40 battery industry, the country has a comprehensive advantages of the traditional industries, but the vehicle under the influence of the financial crisis, IT products and other downstream industries shrinking demand led to the decline in exports of Shenzhen port battery, since April 2008 from 20 consecutive months, exports fell year on year. Second half of 2009, the state has adopted series of economic incentives policy and external environment, the gradual warming driving the demand for batteries ThinkPad T41 battery , ThinkPad T42 battery in 2009 from January to November, China’s battery industry’s accumulated industrial sales output value increased by 6.1%, the cumulative sales rate 96.6%, driven by the end of the export at Shenzhen port battery turned up in January this year, still continued growth momentum.
But the customs statistics, experts say, and in December of last year compared to pre-crisis levels, in January this year, export volumes are still declining rapidly, respectively 27.3% and 20.3%, and the average export price fell by 10.8% chain, the export situation is still not optimistic. China’s battery industry, although considerable progress has been made, but overall technical level is still low, illegal construction, illegal sewage phenomena have occurred, there are production process emissions, waste emissions serious lack of effective recycling of used batteries mechanisms outstanding problems, the environment and resources as a result of greater pressure. At the same time corporate-sided pursuit of economic interests, lack of investment in environmental protection, battery cleaner production and recycling technology is still relatively backward, the industry urgently need upgrading and restructuring. As one after another since September 2009 in Fujian, Jiangsu and Guangdong, there were many incidents of lead dell battery factory pollution incidents, exposing the battery production potential safety problems, to strengthen the domestic battery industry, environmental pollution control has become essential. In addition, in recent years, China’s battery consecutively experienced foreign anti-dumping investigations, the EU’s new “Battery Directive” (Directive No. 2006/66/EC) also has 26 entered into force in September 2008, significantly increased battery production costs and export sales the cost, leading to pressure on domestic enterprises to export.
According to reports, recently for the battery industry in China has accelerated production standards and environmental protection areas such as policy formulation, such as China’s “Lithium-ion battery system seven basic standards” the deliberations of the Conference on December 13, 2009 the successful convening of the standard formal issued the order will help to standardize development of the industry to clean up and backward production capacity; the same time, the Ministry of Environmental Protection issued a “waste lead-acid battery recycling industry, cleaner production standards” on January 1 this year, formally implemented, this will waste lead-acid battery the recycling industry to carry out clean production to provide effective technical support and guidance, but also for the battery industry, and upgrading to provide a favorable opportunity.
In this regard, the Shenzhen Customs recommended the establishment of environmental standards with international standards inspection system to strengthen domestic battery product quality and technical standards for the monitoring efforts to reduce trade barriers brought about by external market risks, and the use of the relevant industry standards promulgated the machine, to strengthen environmental approvals for the Apple battery industry, management, and guide enterprises to enhance environmental protection investment, vigorously promote the technological improvements to upgrade and enhance the overall competitiveness of the industry.
