On February 28, the 2024 Battery Japan Spring Exhibition was held at the Tokyo Big Sight International Exhibition Center. Rolechem made its appearance at the exhibition with its primary additive products, including LiFSI, LiBOB, and LiODFB, attracting numerous industry manufacturers for business talks. As Asia's largest professional secondary battery exhibition, this event gathered automotive, battery, material manufacturing, and equipment manufacturing enterprises from the global new energy industry, attracting a total of 69,261 visitors.

In this overseas expansion, Rolechem primarily exhibited its LiFSI, LiBOB, and LiODFB additive products alongside customized services, highlighting the comprehensive advantages of these main additives in enhancing electrolyte performance. Meanwhile, Rolechem deepened its discussions with industry clients regarding new energy fields and new material directions. This exhibition not only reinforced Rolechem's ecological cooperation in the new energy track but also accelerated its global market integration.

In 2024, the pathways for technological innovation in new energy batteries are diversifying. The R&D and industrialization processes for technologies such as large cylindrical batteries, solid-state batteries, and 4C fast charging are accelerating. Battery enterprises are focusing their R&D efforts on different new material systems pursuing high energy density, such as lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, silicon-carbon anodes, and high-nickel cathodes, aiming to further enhance safety under the premise of upgrading high energy density.

As a star product with immense industrial potential in the new energy field, LiFSI received a substantial volume of inquiries at the exhibition. LiBOB and LiODFB, as highly popular additive products in recent years, also faced discussions regarding their market demand prospects. In addition, the R&D and introduction of various novel materials provide diversified development directions for the new energy market. On the exhibition floor, many well-known industrial manufacturers eagerly inquired about additive products based on their respective needs, paying high attention to the application effects and market scalability potential of cutting-edge new materials, and expressed their intentions for cooperation.

In 2024, deep rooting in overseas markets has become a key theme for the going-global of China's new energy businesses, seeking strong support for the reshaping of the global new energy industrial value chain. Internationally, countries are increasing their layouts in the power battery industry, and the global lithium battery industry is booming. It is estimated that by 2030, the global demand scale for lithium batteries will reach 4 Terawatt-hours (TWh), making global electrification unstoppable. The South Korean government released the "2030 Secondary Battery Industry Development Strategy" and the "Rechargeable Battery Industry Innovation Strategy," clarifying the development goal that "South Korea will occupy a 40% share of the global battery industry market by 2030." The Japanese government proposed in its "Storage Battery Industry Strategy" that "domestic production capacity will reach 150 Gigawatt-hours (GWh) by 2030, and the global capacity of Japanese enterprises will reach 600 GWh." Concurrently, Japan is investing fully in the R&D of all-solid-state battery technology, aiming to achieve industrialization capabilities by 2030 to realize a "corner-overtaking" in battery technology. The European Union set a target that "by 2030, the EU's localized battery manufacturing capacity will reach 550 GWh," comprehensively building a local clean energy and battery supply chain system. The U.S. Department of Energy released the "National Blueprint for Lithium Batteries (2021–2030)," proposing five major development goals, while providing strong subsidies for the battery industry through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), with over $120 billion currently invested in the power battery industry sector.

Presently, the global layout of China's new energy industry is accelerating. Fully developing overseas markets, optimizing capacity layouts, strengthening overseas brand influence construction, and continuously boosting global market share have become the development directions for the new energy industry's global expansion in 2024. Overall, the profound development of new energy industry globalization also presents new challenges and opportunities for all parties. Rolechem always adheres to innovative R&D, deeply cultivates the fields of new energy and new materials, embraces changes amid industry transformations, and looks forward to working with industry partners to promote the sustainable development of the new energy industrial chain.
