Recruitment is hot!

This industry welcomes explosive growth!

Another super outlet is coming →

　　Since last year, with the consumption boom of new energy vehicles, the power battery industry has ushered in explosive growth. In 2021, the installed capacity of power batteries in my country will increase by 142.8% year-on-year.

The supply of power batteries is in short supply, and manufacturers have been in a state of rushing to work. This year's Spring Festival not only stopped work, but even the recruitment after the holiday was much earlier than in previous years.

　　Recruiting busy power battery manufacturers after the Spring Festival without work

　　Just after the Spring Festival holiday, the recruitment center of a company in Ningde, Fujian was full of people.

Zhou Yuyang from Liaoning came to Ningde by plane to apply for a job. As soon as he arrived at the factory, he was shocked by the hot recruitment scene in front of him.

　　The staff told reporters that just after the Spring Festival holiday ended, CATL started the new year's recruitment. In February, the recruitment needs of CATL's bases reached 6,000.

From the seventh day onwards, the recruitment center was crowded with candidates every day.

Some of them are recruiting news from the Internet, and some are introduced by old employees to apply.

　　Because of the strong demand for power batteries, the product supply is in short supply.

This Spring Festival, more than 90% of the employees of CATL chose left-behind enterprises to work overtime.

　　A power battery company in Qingdao, Shandong, is also running at full capacity during the Spring Festival holiday. The person in charge of the company told reporters that in previous years, New Year's Eve and first-year employees would have a holiday, but in this Spring Festival of the Year of the Tiger, the factory did not stop production for a moment.

And from the second day of the new year, the factory started a new round of recruitment.

　　Wang Weidong, chairman of Qingdao Guoxuan Battery Co., Ltd.: We are producing at full capacity, and our production capacity still cannot meet the order requirements.

Starting from the second day of the new year, we will help us recommend recruitment through the Party and Mass Community Service Centers of each town, village and community in Laixi City.

　　In recent years, the maturity of my country's new energy vehicle products has been continuously improved. The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers expects that the domestic market will continue to maintain a rapid growth trend in 2022, and the market demand for power batteries is still increasing.

　　Wang Yao, Assistant Secretary General of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers: In 2022, the production and sales volume of new energy vehicles is expected to reach 5 million units, a year-on-year increase of 42%, and its market share in the automobile market is expected to exceed 18%.

If calculated based on the average electric charge of a single vehicle of 47kWh, the installed capacity of power batteries is expected to exceed 235GWh in 2022.

　　Expansion of capacity and adjustment of structure, the power battery market is "competitive"

　　Whether it is the Spring Festival rush or the hot recruitment, it all confirms the popularity of my country's power battery market.

As the world's largest power battery market, 5 Chinese companies will enter the top ten global power battery installed capacity in 2021.

At the beginning of the new year, many companies have begun to build factories and expand production capacity, but in the face of rising raw material prices, how will companies respond?

　　Increasing capital and expanding production is the top priority of many domestic power battery companies.

As the leading company of power batteries, CATL has successively built new energy industrial bases in Guangdong, Shanghai, Fujian, Jiangxi, Sichuan and Guizhou since last year to provide guarantee for downstream demand.

　　Guoxuan Hi-Tech, which also ranks among the top ten installed power batteries in the world, currently has ten production bases in the country. Some of the bases in Hefei, Anhui, Tongcheng and Yichun, Jiangxi are scheduled to be put into production in the middle of this year.

　　Industry experts said that although my country's power battery technology has made some progress, it is still a shortcoming in the field of raw material and battery recycling.

In addition, the rising price of lithium carbonate, the main raw material of power batteries, also restricts the development of enterprises.

　　Xu Yanhua, Secretary General of China Power Battery Industry Innovation Alliance: In January last year, our most important lithium carbonate resource was 50,000 yuan per ton. The impact is very large.

As we develop globally, we must enhance the global competitiveness of the power battery industry, including the global distribution of key mineral resources and upstream raw materials.
