The tight balance of diaphragm market may be difficult to ease in the short term, and the company’s volume and profit are expected to continue to rise
With the rapid growth of lithium battery demand, the demand heat of diaphragm market continues to increase. Subject to the tight supply and demand of short-term key equipment, the tight balance of diaphragm market is difficult to be significantly alleviated in 2022, and the driving force for price rise still exists; Benefiting from the accelerated process of going to sea, the optimization of product structure and the cost reduction of process upgrading, the company’s volume and profit are expected to continue to rise.
