The demand for lithium battery equipment increases rapidly, and the future growth of platform companies can be expected
1) new energy vehicles have broad prospects and strong certainty. We expect the global sales of new energy vehicles to increase from 6.11 million in 2021 to 25 million in 2025, giving rise to a huge demand for power lithium battery equipment. According to GGII, global power battery shipments will reach 1550gwh in 2025. According to our calculation, the demand for lithium battery equipment is expected to reach 136.1 billion yuan in 2025, accounting for more than 40% of CArG.
2) the company is a leading enterprise of lithium battery equipment, with the production capacity of the whole line and single machine, and the market share of many products such as winding machine is the first. The company is deeply tied to Contemporary Amperex Technology Co.Limited(300750) , a leader in the lithium battery industry. At the same time, it has increased its overseas layout, improved the quality of orders, and is expected to continue to enhance its profitability in the future. The company has the ability to produce international standard products and strong independent research and development. In the future, the wave of overseas lithium battery expansion will benefit the overseas layout and expand the growth space.
3) at present, the company has formed three major businesses of lithium battery, photovoltaic and 3C, and established business departments of lithium battery, photovoltaic, 3C, laser, logistics, automobile and hydrogen energy, which has gradually become a platform company. In addition to the lithium battery equipment business, the company has also made breakthroughs in other business segments and continued to gain market recognition. Benefiting from the rapid development of the lithium battery industry and the remarkable results of the company’s platform layout, the new orders signed by the company in 2021 reached 18.7 billion yuan (after tax), with a year-on-year increase of nearly 70%, and the future performance can be expected to increase.
