Hello friends! As the industry event came to an end, the 2026 CIBF Shenzhen International Battery Show came to a successful conclusion. At a time when the international environment is warming up and the atmosphere for cooperation is improving, friendly interactions between major countries will not only benefit the global economy, but also pave the way for the internationalization of China's new energy equipment. Today, I would like to share with you the core insights of this exhibition and the growth insights of Yifu!

High-end grinding chooses Yifu

1. Exhibition overview: global trend vane, scale reaches new heights

The 18th Shenzhen International Battery Technology Exchange/Exhibition (CIBF2026) was successfully held at the Shenzhen International Convention and Exhibition Center from May 13th to 15th. With the theme of "Linking the World, Empowering Green, and Driving the Future", this exhibition has reached a record scale: 280,000 square meters of exhibition area, 14 exhibition halls, 3,200+ exhibitors, and 350,000+ professional visitors, covering the entire industry chain of materials-cells-equipment-systems-recycling. It is the most important wind vane-level event in the global battery industry.

2. Six core trends in the industry: Energy storage is king, and technology is accelerating.

1. The battery track is reversed: energy storage leads the way in all aspects, power + energy storage two-wheel drive

The popularity of energy storage batteries surpassed that of power batteries for the first time and became the absolute focus of the audience. The demand for long-term energy storage, integration of optical storage and charging, industrial and commercial energy storage, and household energy storage has exploded; the main exhibits of leading battery cell companies are dedicated energy storage cells, and the 688Ah ultra-large-capacity energy storage battery has been mass-produced. The industry has officially entered a booming era of power + energy storage.

2. Cathode materials: Lithium iron phosphate has become the mainstream, and the integration of mineralized materials has become a barrier

The surge in energy storage demand has driven lithium iron phosphate to become the mainstream cathode, and the technology focuses on high compaction, high energy efficiency, and long cycle. To B material companies bid farewell to mere supply, comprehensively deploy the integrated mineral-chemical-material ecology, and control upstream resources as their core competitiveness - industry consensus: To make materials, you must have minerals at home!

3. Sodium-ion battery: The technology is finalized, the application is clear, and large-scale is imminent

NFPP cathode and hard carbon anode routes are highly mature, and the technical paths are completely unified; the application scenarios extend from start-stop power supplies to energy storage cells, the pace of industrialization continues to accelerate, and the countdown to large-scale implementation has begun.

4. Silicon-based anode: from concept to mass production, fast charging + high capacity dual upgrade

The number of silicon anode exhibitors has surged, and the industry is on the eve of an outbreak. The technical logic has shifted from "pure pursuit of high capacity" to stable mass production, reliable cycle, and fast charging adaptability; the silane vapor phase method has become the mainstream process, and the silicon content of the battery core has been increased from 5%-10% to about 20% to adapt to high energy density and fast charging requirements.

5. Solid-state batteries: Commercialization accelerates, sulfide route becomes mainstream

Semi-solid-state batteries appear on a large scale, and the commercialization process is significantly accelerated; sulfide solid electrolytes are expected to become the long-term mainstream direction; interface modification, composite cathodes, and sulfide electrolyte engineering are still the three core technologies for industrialization.

6. Intelligent upgrade of the entire industry chain: AI empowerment, accelerated green precision

AI intelligent production lines, dry electrodes, new electrolytes, and high-precision testing equipment are on display; the lithium battery industry as a whole is iterating towards intelligence, precision, low-carbon and green, and the underlying materials and manufacturing processes are being upgraded.

3. Yifu’s appearance: Deeply engaged in grinding and empowering the entire lithium battery industry chain

At this exhibition, the number of visits from international friends hit a record high! For Yifu, which has mature international experience and a track record of exporting 10,000-ton production lines to South Korea, Indonesia, Europe and the United States, globalization is the right time.

The exhibition was very popular, full of distinguished guests, and there was a constant flow of exchanges with domestic and foreign customers. The reason behind the relatively low number of new customers is that Yifu's brands and products have penetrated the entire new energy industry chain without any blind spots, have an early international layout, and have been cultivating customer resources for many years.

From lithium iron phosphate, silicon-based negative electrodes, sodium battery NFPP cathode materials, solid electrolytes, technological breakthroughs and mass production of every core material of lithium batteries are inseparable from the precision grinding and empowerment of Yifu sand mills. As a leading enterprise in the field of sand mills, Yifu has been deeply involved in the industry for more than 20 years and has more than 100 patents. It has a 2,000-square-meter headquarters office area in Songshan Lake, Dongguan, Guangdong, and a 104-acre new production base in Xiangyang, Hubei. It has an annual production capacity of more than 1 billion yuan and serves leading customers such as CATL, BYD, Huayou Cobalt, and Dangsheng Technology.

4. Future Outlook: Steady progress, quality as the basis, service first

The industry is surging, and opportunities and challenges coexist. Yifu will continue to work steadily, focusing on the three cores of quality, delivery, and service, empowering lithium battery material innovation with hard-core grinding technology, and assisting the high-quality development of the global new energy industry, so that every customer who chooses Yifu will feel more at ease and assured!

Thank you to all new and old customers and industry partners for your support and trust! 2027 CIBF, see you next year!
