Lithium Battery Price Increase: Market Trends and Cost Impact
Recently, the lithium battery industry has experienced a noticeable increase in production costs. Driven by rising raw material prices, supply chain adjustments, and recovering market demand, lithium battery prices are entering an upward trend, which is gradually impacting battery pack quotations.
1. Rising Raw Material Costs
Key materials used in lithium batteries, including lithium compounds, cathode and anode materials, electrolytes, as well as copper and aluminum, have shown price fluctuations in recent months. In some cases, reduced inventories and upstream supply adjustments have led to higher procurement costs.
Since raw materials account for a significant portion of total battery manufacturing costs, price increases at the upstream level inevitably affect the final battery pack price.
2. Custom Battery Packs Are More Cost-Sensitive
Compared with standard battery models, custom lithium battery packs — such as those with specific voltage, capacity, structure, or BMS requirements — are more sensitive to material price changes.
Factors such as cell selection, BMS configuration, structural design, and testing requirements all contribute to cost variations under current market conditions.
3. Demand Recovery Adds Price Pressure
Demand from applications such as electric wheelchairs, medical equipment, and industrial devices has been steadily increasing. As commonly used battery cells are consumed more quickly, new procurement prices are often higher than previous inventory costs.
Under these circumstances, advance planning and early order confirmation have become effective ways to manage procurement costs.
4. Our Response to Market Changes
As a professional lithium battery pack manufacturer, GEB Power is closely monitoring market trends and material cost changes. To minimize the impact of price fluctuations on our customers, we are taking the following measures:
- Prioritizing existing inventory materials to maintain stable pricing for confirmed orders
- Securing key materials in advance through long-term supplier cooperation
- Providing flexible configuration options to balance performance and cost
- Offering pricing support for long-term partners whenever possible
Please note that once existing inventory materials are fully consumed, new orders may be quoted based on updated material costs.
5. Recommendations for Customers
In the current market environment, we recommend that customers:
- Confirm specifications and order quantities as early as possible
- Lock in pricing for projects with clear demand planning
- Maintain close communication to optimize battery configurations
These steps can help ensure stable supply while effectively controlling overall procurement costs.
