Hunan Yuneng announced that it will carry out maintenance on some production lines for one month starting from January 1, 2026, with an expected reduction in the production of phosphate cathode materials (lithium iron phosphate) by 15,000 to 35,000 tons. This will lead to a significant decrease in market supply. Against the backdrop of stable demand for new energy vehicles and energy storage, spot prices may face upward pressure. The scale of production reduction accounts for a certain proportion of the industry's monthly output, providing general favorable support. However, attention should be paid to the capacity replenishment from other producers.
