According to Mysteel Oilchem, China's anode material production reached 285,100 tonnes in January 2026, representing a year-on-year increase of 27.85% and a month-on-month rise of 7.42%. Strong order demand persisted in January, supported by export orders downstream and continued positive demand from the energy storage battery sector. Leading enterprises operated at full capacity, which drove a slight increase in the operating rates for anode material production.
