According to Japanese Economic Institute Fuji said that the global electric vehicle market will rapidly expand around 2020 to 2035, when up to 5 million 670 thousand vehicles, compared to 2015 soared nearly 16 times as much. Among them, the growth rate of China and the European market is the most obvious. According to the Nikkei report, the expansion of the electric car market, direct drive electric vehicles with lithium battery supply chain strength, from the material to the battery pack has become the focus of attention of the industry. Tesla's car battery provided by Japan's Panasonic, and Panasonic to supply the separation membrane used in Tesla's battery, by Sumitomo chemical supply. Due to Tesla in 2018 annual production capacity to 500 thousand cars in 2020, to 1 million vehicles, Sumitomo chemical separation membrane demand forecast Panasonic will in the next boom, therefore decided to expand production. Anode and cathode materials, separation membrane, electrolyte is the four key materials of lithium battery, and the Japanese factory occupies the absolute market share. In addition to Sumitomo chemical separation membrane to supply Panasonic, Toray also has Panasonic and LG to supply the diaphragm Chem, and is expected to increase production capacity of 70% at the end of 2018. Another branch of the diaphragm manufacturer plans to double production capacity in the diaphragm Asahi points before the end of 2020, Sumitomo metal mines in recent years to the positive material to expand production capacity of two times, then improve the anode materials onquest planning capacity of 80% at the end of this year.
