In 2026, Solid-state batteries are leading the global lithium battery industry into a new era with their disruptive performance advantages. Below is an in-depth analysis of technical pathways, market landscapes, process innovations, and the strategic positioning of CM Batteries.
- Technical Advantages and Development Trends The core of a solid-state battery lies in the solidification of the electrolyte. Compared to traditional liquid lithium batteries, it offers significant advantages in energy density and safety.
Technology Shift: Solid-state batteries replace flammable liquid electrolytes and separators with solid electrolytes (e.g., sulfides, oxides). This eliminates the risk of leakage and thermal runaway while the "separator-free" design further compresses battery volume.
Mainstream Categories: Solid electrolytes are currently categorized into four types: oxides, sulfides, polymers, and halides.
Evolutionary Path: While semi-solid batteries (based on oxides and polymers) currently lead the market, bulk-type sulfide all-solid-state batteries are recognized as the ultimate goal for commercialization due to their superior ionic conductivity and energy density.
- Market Demand and Application Expansion The market for solid-state batteries is on the brink of an explosion. The Asia-Pacific region, particularly China, currently accounts for over 50% of the global market share.
Power Batteries (Main Battlefield): In the first half of 2025, domestic semi-solid-state battery installations exceeded 1.2 GWh. As energy densities of 360 Wh/kg and above become more common, the automotive sector will remain the primary growth engine.
Consumer Electronics (Early Adoption): The high energy density perfectly meets the needs of premium smartphones and wearables, with penetration rates expected to be the first to exceed 10%.
Energy Storage (Long-term Potential): Despite cost sensitivity, solid-state battery penetration in the ESS (Energy Storage System) market is projected to reach approximately 2% by 2030 as technology scales and costs decline.
- Global Supply Landscape and Capacity Planning China currently dominates global production capacity, with a projected share of over 80% by 2025.
Critical Milestone: 2027 is widely regarded as the "Year One" for mass production of all-solid-state batteries. Giants such as Toyota, Samsung, GAC, Qingtao, and WeLion plan to achieve large-scale delivery by this time.
Capacity Layout: In the first three quarters of 2025, new planned capacity in China reached 36.6 GWh, signaling a significant acceleration in industrialization.
- Material and Process Innovation Materials: Sulfide electrolytes are expected to capture over 40% of the market share by 2035. Anode materials are transitioning from silicon-based to lithium metal anodes to achieve higher room-temperature capacity and lower potential.
Manufacturing: Solid-state batteries have restructured the production process, introducing new equipment such as fibrillation and isostatic pressing machines. This transformation creates massive growth opportunities for upstream equipment suppliers.
