Although the sector index performance has been weaker than the broader market in the short term, combined with industry trends such as new energy vehicle sales share continuously exceeding 50% and power battery installations growing over 30% year-over-year, the lithium battery industry's overall prosperity continues to trend upward. In the short term, focus should be on raw material price trends and solid-state battery technology progress.
