As the core of Murata's future new energy business, the new plant is expected to be officially put into operation in January 2019. It plans to increase its annual production capacity to 132 million new energy lithium batteries, which will enable Wuxi's battery capacity and output value on an existing basis. Expanded by 1.6 times.
As one of the important strategic deployments of Murata's new energy business, the completion of the new plant will further expand Murata's supply of thin and light lithium battery products for smartphones, mobile terminals, power tools, etc. These batteries are mainly used in cameras and tablets. , high-value-added electronic devices and mobile electronic products such as laptops, electric bicycles, vacuum cleaners, game consoles, power tools, etc. According to internal construction, new energy lithium batteries are divided into gel (Laminate-type) and liquid (Metal can-tape). Two kinds of gel-type lithium ion secondary batteries have the advantages of high safety, light weight, and various sizes; liquid type lithium ion secondary batteries have advantages such as high output and large capacity.
In the era of rapid growth in the smartphone market, the entire electronic components industry has shared cakes. In the future, it is still fascinated by the growth of the smartphone market, between companies that have not taken countermeasures and those that are constantly exploring new needs. Survival of the fittest will become more and more obvious. Murata gradually expands its business from mobile communications to automotive, medical and new energy. In July 2016, after acquiring the Sony lithium battery business, Murata plans to operate the battery business as the core of its energy business. Further realize the growth and expansion of its business, and prepare for the future entry into the new energy field.
This year, Murata will celebrate its 74th anniversary. Murata will further increase its research and development, leverage its technological advantages, and continue to enrich its product range, not only in research and development, manufacturing and sales, but also in the market share of mobile phones, computers, AV equipment, etc. Electronic products, in the fields of automotive, health care, environmental protection and energy, use unique ceramic technology, manufacturing technology, and lead the industry innovation. At the same time, they are rooted in China and contribute to China's sustainable development through diversified businesses.
