Export Policy Adjustment: Is the Domestic Battery Industry Facing Major Changes?
On January 16, 2026, at 16:30, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange announced the adjustment of the export policy regarding battery products. This adjustment is expected to significantly impact the domestic battery manufacturing sector. Analysts indicate that the new measures will lead to a substantial reduction in export tax rebates starting from April 1, 2026.
According to the new policy, export tax rebates for battery products will be reduced from 9% to 6% between April 1, 2026, and December 31, 2026. Furthermore, from January 1, 2027, the export tax rebate for battery products will also be eliminated. This policy is part of a broader effort to refine export regulations for new energy vehicles, reflecting evolving market demands.
The recent adjustments will likely have a profound effect on the domestic battery market. As companies prepare for the changes, there is concern about how these policies will impact their competitiveness on the global stage. Key players in the industry are expected to adapt their strategies to mitigate the effects of the new regulations.
In light of these upcoming changes, it is crucial for companies to closely monitor market conditions and adjust their operations accordingly. The export market for battery products has shown consistent growth, but these new policies could alter the landscape significantly.
Industry experts are predicting that the new regulations will encourage companies to innovate and improve efficiency, as they will need to find ways to maintain profitability amidst reduced rebates. The overall sentiment in the market suggests a need for companies to be proactive in addressing these challenges while exploring new opportunities.
As the effective date of the policy approaches, companies are urged to review their export strategies and consider potential shifts in demand and pricing structures. The domestic battery industry must navigate these changes carefully to remain competitive in an increasingly dynamic global market.
