Running Business
LION Smart Mobility 42 / LION Smart Storage 42 ("BMW i3 Pack")
The battery pack market was very challenging in 2024, not just for us but also for our competitors and customer base.
- Mobility market: slower than expected, especially due to delayed reduction of key interest rates in the EU/US and uncertainty of election in US
- Storage market: collapsed due to oversupply of cells and modules from automotive OEM and very low-priced container-solutions from Asia
Optimistic Mid-Term Outlook
- Mobility business: picking up, based on strong European business, expected acceleration in H2-2025 based on recovery of US-business
- Storage business: market stays difficult. Focus on "Power niches" (UPS, C-rates are more important than energy - fast available energy for short time)
- Customer activities: increasing again / positive outlook by customers USA/CANADA: adjustments on competitor landscape leads to new opportunities Promising discussion with (new) etruck- and ebus-makers
