Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) prices have jumped this year, with a ~400 kg bag trading above 25,000 yuan versus about 10,000 yuan a year ago. Demand remains robust: finished-goods warehouses are full and more than 90% of output is supplied to leading new-energy vehicle makers, which account for the bulk of order growth. Producers point to strong NEV and energy-storage exports as the main demand driver. Upstream costs are also pushing prices higher: LFP is made from iron phosphate, lithium carbonate and glucose, with iron phosphate representing roughly 30% of raw-material cost; iron phosphate has risen sharply year-to-date, lifting overall LFP production costs.
