(3931.HK), a giant in the EV battery industry, was officially listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and became the first new energy EV battery enterprise in Hong Kong. During the offering period, the first day of the international placement of CALB has realised oversubscription. In addition, the IPO of CALB also attracted 15 cornerstone companies, including Tianqi Lithium (002466.SZ), Han’s Laser Technology (002008.SZ), XPeng-W (09868.HK) and vivo, to subscribe for more than 40% of the global offering shares, almost covering the entire new energy vehicle industry chain, which fully proves that the industrial capital is optimistic about the development prospects of CALB.

The high level of prosperity of the industry will continue, and the short-term adjustment will not change the long-term trend

From the industry level, with the establishment of the dominant position of new energy development in several major global economies, the global new energy vehicle market has grown at a high speed and the penetration rate has continued to increase. According to Frost & Sullivan, the global sales volume of NEVs increased from 1,162.1 thousand units in 2017 to 6,201.2 thousand units in 2021. Global NEV sales are expected to grow at a CAGR of 24.3% from 2021 to 2026, and the global NEV penetration is expected to reach 30.1% by 2026.

Benefiting from the growth of the global NEV market, the automotive industry in various countries has a high demand for power batteries, and the EV battery market has grown steadily. The global EV battery installed capacity is expected to grow at a CAGR of 33.8% from 2022 to 2026 and reach 1,386.7 GWh in 2026. Among them, as the world’s largest EV battery market, with the rapid growth of NEV penetration rate, the healthy development of the industrial chain and the effective control of the pandemic, China’s EV battery installed capacity is expected to reach 762.0 GWh in 2026 with a CAGR of 34.9% from 2022 to 2026.

Therefore, the high level of prosperity of the NEV industry chain is still continuing, and the current adjustment of the new energy sector is not due to changes in fundamentals, but a correction of excessive short-term growth. In the long run, the development of new energy is the trend of the times. After a short-term restructuring, the subsequent performance is worth looking forward to.
