Recently, Hubei Yihua Chemical Group Co., Ltd. conducted the first environmental impact assessment (EIA) announcement for its 1 million tons/year lithium iron phosphate (LFP) project on relevant websites. The project primarily uses refined phosphoric acid, monoammonium phosphate (externally sourced), pure iron, ferrous sulfate, and hydrogen peroxide as main raw materials. It involves constructing a 500,000 tons/year LFP production line using the iron-based process and another 500,000 tons/year LFP production line using the ammonium-based process, along with supporting public and auxiliary facilities. The main product is lithium iron phosphate, with by-products such as ammonium sulfate.

PriceSeek Analysis on Lithium Iron Phosphate, Bull-Bear Score: -1
The project plans to build an annual production capacity of 1 million tons of lithium iron phosphate, utilizing both iron-based and ammonium-based processes. The expansion of new production capacity is expected to increase market supply. Given that the current demand for lithium iron phosphate primarily stems from the lithium battery materials sector, the anticipated increase in supply may exert downward pressure on spot prices. Although the growth of the electric vehicle market supports demand, the large scale of the project could exacerbate supply-demand imbalances in the short term, generally exerting a bearish influence on prices.
