Li Auto accelerates in-house R&D as automakers collectively introduce secondary suppliers; is the power battery industry on the verge of a major shift?

Li Auto invested RMB 2.65 billion in Sunwoda Power, accelerating the switch to self-developed batteries across its entire lineup, directly targeting a reduction in reliance on CATL. Harmony Intelligent Mobility Alliance (HIMA), Xiaomi, XPeng, and others are also intensifying the introduction of secondary and multiple suppliers, restructuring battery pricing and supply chain influence; however, CATL’s market share remains above 50%, and its dominant position has yet to be shaken. The power dynamics within the power battery industry are being quietly reshaped. Li Auto’s RMB 2.65 billion investment in Sunwoda Power, coupled with the announcement of switching its entire vehicle lineup to self-developed batteries, moves the "de-CATLization" strategy from slogan to substantive action.

Ganfeng Lithium's first-half revenue surged by 175.75%, with net profit turning from a loss to a gain year-on-year, driven by the dual forces of rising lithium prices and increased sales volume.

Ganfeng Lithium reported H1 operating revenue of RMB 23.097 billion, a year-on-year increase of 175.75%. Net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company stood at RMB 4.257 billion, marking a turnaround from a loss of RMB 531 million in the same period last year.

Net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company reached RMB 4.242 billion, surging 4,925.46% year-on-year, nearly 50 times the level recorded in the same period last year.
