En el primer semestre de 2019, el fabricante chino de bater\u00edas CATL logr\u00f3 un fuerte crecimiento de las ventas y los beneficios en comparaci\u00f3n con el mismo periodo del a\u00f1o anterior. El mayor impulsor de las ventas sigue siendo el negocio con bater\u00edas para coches el\u00e9ctricos.<\/p>\n
Las cifras en resumen: En comparaci\u00f3n con el primer semestre de 2018, las ventas en el primer semestre de 2019 aumentaron un 116,5% hasta unos 20.300 millones de yuanes (2.800 millones de d\u00f3lares) y los beneficios un 130,1% hasta unos 2.100 millones de yuanes (293 millones de d\u00f3lares). El 83% de las ventas totales correspondieron a la divisi\u00f3n Power Battery System, el segmento de negocio de las c\u00e9lulas de bater\u00eda, los m\u00f3dulos de bater\u00eda y los paquetes de bater\u00edas.<\/p>\n
Esta elevada cuota muestra la importancia que tienen para CATL las ventas de coches el\u00e9ctricos e h\u00edbridos enchufables en China (los conocidos Veh\u00edculos de Nuevas Energ\u00edas). El negocio de almacenamiento de energ\u00eda estacionaria creci\u00f3 a\u00fan m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido (las ventas aumentaron un 369%), pero con 240 millones de yuanes, tambi\u00e9n es el m\u00e1s peque\u00f1o. La divisi\u00f3n de materiales para bater\u00edas de litio aument\u00f3 sus ventas un 32%, hasta los 2.300 millones de yuanes.<\/p>\n
En los \u00faltimos doce meses, CATL ha ampliado enormemente su producci\u00f3n. Seg\u00fan el informe trimestral, la capacidad de las plantas chinas es ahora de 30,0 GWh, frente a los 13,8 GWh de hace un a\u00f1o.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Despite the sharp rise in sales and production capacities, CATL itself is only cautiously optimistic about its own business prospects. On the one hand, the company is still dependent on the NEV market in China and thus on the government’s subsidy policy, and on the other hand, competition is increasing all the time. An indication of this: CATL must invest more in research in order to survive in a competitive environment. Expenditure on research and development rose by 97 per cent within one year.<\/p>\n
If it is not possible to maintain a leading level and bring rapid upgrades to the lithium-ion battery – whose development direction is uncertain – competitiveness and profitability could suffer, according to CATL. Finally, the Chinese battery manufacturer has entered into a close cooperation with Toyota<\/a>.<\/p>\n CATL is also of great importance to German carmakers, and CATL is a key supplier of electric cars made in China. With the planned plant in Erfurt, Germany (construction is to begin in autumn<\/a>), the Chinese will also play an increasingly important role in electric cars from German production (e.g. at BMW). In a recent media report, CATL was also associated with Tesla for the supply of the Gigafactory 3 near Shanghai.<\/p>\n
