China's lithium hydroxide production stood at 23,600 tonnes in July, down 4.2% MoM, according to Mysteel survey. Despite stable operating rates among producers and sufficient raw material supply, some companies prioritized lithium carbonate production, resulting in a decrease in lithium hydroxide production in July.
It is likely that China's lithium hydroxide production will fall 3.4% MoM at 22,800 tonnes in August. Although leading ternary enterprises maintain stable production and demand from customer-supplied sources remained significant, some producers still adjust their production expectations downward and mainly produce based on sales orders.
