Battery industry in China is currently facing a serious problem of “internal and external” troubled. As countries around the world to improve the requirements of environmental protection, and some developed countries have adopted the lead, cadmium, nickel and other production of nonferrous metals in the country to pass its own environmental pollution, which caused the price of lead electrolytic skyrocketed from 2003 to 4,500 yuan per ton rose to 13,000 yuan ton earlier this year, nickel price of 150,000 yuan per ton last year or so, now represent almost 450 thousand yuan per tonne. In addition, raw materials, cobalt, cadmium, the powdered natural manganese, zinc and other prices soar, to varying degrees. As the price of export products is well established with the signing of the contract, prices for commodities, the price can not synchronize to follow resulting in an export product, the greater the “loss situation. Production of household batteries coupled with fierce competition between companies, leading to their accumulation in recent years, low low to withstand the risk of these factors are closely related to each other the direct result of producing household batteries are moving forward with difficulty and would have reduced the scale of production and marketing in order to reduce the loss.

2, the impact of the export tax adjustment policy on reimbursement of the battery industry

September 14, 2006, the State Ministry of Finance jointly issued by five ministries and the “party products on the adjustment of reimbursement rates of export tax and the addition of the notice processing trade ban catalog. “According to the” Notice “of lead acid batteries, mercury oxide-policy export tax rebate has been canceled; Already in 2004, the Laptop battery has started exporting to the low rate of tax refund every year, and will be phased in rebate. The current lead-acid batteries, mercuric oxide, and nickel-cadmium batteries were included in the prohibited category into the Directory of processing trade, for inclusion in this directory should be levied on imports of goods, duties and import taxes.

According to the statistics agency, the reimbursement rate of export tax reduction of 1 percentage point each, equivalent to the cost of exports in general trade increased by about 1 percentage point; So the introduction of the refund policy of export tax would reduce the competitiveness of the export market of the battery, which will accelerate the battery industry to re-wash Brand, a number of competitive enterprises, small and medium enterprises will have a serious loss, or even its closure.

3, the green barriers abroad, the impact of the battery industry in China

According to the Official Journal of the EU “The recent adoption of batteries and instruction of the IBM ThinkPad R52 battery, the battery in the lead, cadmium, mercury objective fact, more demanding and requires commitment fees for cost recovery. REACH Regulations and guidelines based on ROSH improve registration fee and charge the battery test, a significant increase in the cost of battery production and the cost of export sales.

The European Union and other developed countries often establish “green barriers” have substantially increased the cost of exports of batteries, some SMEs because of economic reasons and technical reasons, to abandon foreign markets.

4, the fight against foreign-dumping and technical barriers to the impact of the battery industry in China

The battery industry in China after another 337 hit if the United States investigation of alkaline manganese batteries, the United States investigating the case of 337 lead acid batteries, the United States responsible corporate Ni-MH hp Pavilion dv6000 battery Chinese company charges, the United States and Japan, where the lithium-ion batteries and other intellectual property rights of patent cases, for the respondent, the consumption used a large number of Chinese companies involved in human resources, material and financial resources, the sales network has been seriously affected.

Recently, the battery industry in China also hit South Korea alkaline manganese antidumping sunset review, India, batteries dry antidumping sunset review. Increased by lead acid batteries and other products for more than a dozen anti-dumping, export trade battery has been severely affected.

Some anti-dumping cases and 337 businesses participating in the survey because they do not respond, which led to the trial the whole sector of the local market.

Responding to the lack of financing mechanisms under the current circumstances, the businesses under immense pressure.

5, the impact of RMB appreciation on the VGP-BPS2B battery industry 

The exchange rate of RMB 2005 1:8.3, by adjusting the current of about 1:7.5. Battery production in China in about 80% of exports, the appreciation of the yuan, while the export price of the battery difficult to increase the cost of exports has been considerably improved the battery to allow companies to decline economy.

6, transport costs

With the energy crisis, the transportation costs of the battery increases. In many parts of the Ministry of Communications goalkeeper lead acid batteries and nickel-cadmium batteries as the transport of dangerous goods, and forced recruitment costs, increase the burden on business and affect economic efficiency.

7, the battery industry, the situation serious occupational hazard, environmental protection and management of investments to improve

Lead-acid batteries and nickel-cadmium alkaline battery positive and negative main raw materials are lead, cadmium, nickel and other non-ferrous heavy metal compounds, particularly metal ions cadmium and their toxicity and poisoning have an important role in the manufacturing process raising dust, more sewage and waste pollution, through various ways by the human body after making the deposit continue to play a role, eventually leading to the ‘poisoning of the bone in bulk, the hematopoietic and renal functions. Battery contaminated soil or water, and again by growing plants, vegetables and invades the human body in violation of depth.

To summarize, the toshiba PA3191U-3BRS battery companies in China are facing difficulties, and that the Chinese Battery Industry Association will actively guide companies to adjust product mix, diversify the direction of development, while Enterprises should strengthen the technical, process innovations and equipment, improve the use of raw materials and improve resource use, reduce as much as possible because of higher raw material adverse effects; actively improve the production process, accelerate the pace of eliminating backward production capacity once the transition to efficient production, ecological and energy efficient way of promoting cell cell industry for sustainable development.
