On the news front, as of February 5th, 2026, 70 A-share companies in the lithium battery industry chain have disclosed performance forecasts or brief reports. Among them, 50 companies achieved year-on-year net profit growth (including reduced losses), accounting for over 70% of the total. Additionally, Changan Automobile, in collaboration with Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited, unveiled a global sodium battery strategy. The world's first mass-produced sodium battery passenger vehicle was officially introduced and is expected to hit the market by mid-year. Compared to lithium batteries, sodium batteries offer advantages in terms of resource abundance, extraction costs, temperature adaptability, fast-charging performance, and safety. Data from Starting Point Research indicates that global sodium battery shipments are projected to reach 9 GWh in 2025, a 150% year-on-year increase. By 2030, the global market size for sodium batteries used in energy storage is expected to reach 580 GWh, while the market size for automotive sodium batteries is forecast to exceed 410 GWh during the same period.
First Capital Securities analysis points out that with the surge in demand for new energy storage, sodium batteries, leveraging their high safety, long lifespan, and strong environmental adaptability, are poised for rapid sales growth from the short to medium term. In the long run, if the cost advantage of sodium batteries further expands, potentially even falling below that of lithium iron phosphate batteries, industry prosperity is expected to continue rising. "Sodium batteries possess medium to long-term economic potential and supply chain security value. 2026 may become the inaugural year for large-scale application, indicating broad prospects for industrial development."
Dongguan Securities stated in its latest research report that companies that have pre-emptively positioned themselves in key segments of the sodium battery industry chain are likely to benefit first from the sector's growth. It is recommended to focus on battery manufacturers and related material suppliers leading in industrialization progress.
