In December 2025, China's lithium iron phosphate (LFP) production reached 422,700 tonnes, up 3.65% MoM. Strong demand continued through the month, with most manufacturers maintaining full production. Although some companies reduced production due to production line incidents or scheduled maintenance, the overall LFP production continued to rise, supported by the steady ramp-up of new capacity in Hubei province.
China's LFP production is projected to reach 376,200 tonnes in January 2026, a decrease of 11.00% compared to the previous month. As production lines have been operating at overloaded levels, some manufacturers will implement planned production reductions and maintenance in January to ensure safe, stable, and efficient operations.
