Lithium Export Tax Rebate Phase-Out Reshapes Industry: LITHIUM STORAGE Steers China’s High-Quality Global Push

China’s 2026 lithium batteries export tax rebate adjustments—slashed from 9% to 6% on April 1, with full elimination set for January 1, 2027—mark a defining shift for the global sector. The policy abandons the industry’s long-standing scale-driven growth model, pivoting toward quality-centric competitiveness and accelerating a "survival-of-the-fittest" reshuffle.

For decades, China’s lithium industry thrived on cost advantages and policy support, but fragmented low-quality competition among small and medium-sized enterprises hampered global value recognition. The rebate phase-out acts as a strategic filter:Low-tech firms reliant on price cuts will exit the market, phasing out low-quality supply chains；Resources will converge on leading lithium batteries supplier with robust R&D, strong brands, and global layouts, propelling China’s shift from "product export" to "export of technologies, standards, and brands."

As a top lithium-ion battery China manufacturer, LITHIUM STORAGE embodies high-quality development, perfectly positioned to lead the industry transition:

We Specialize in lithium-ion battery solutions for material handling equipment and construction machinery, we offer diverse types of lithium batteries—including forklift lithium battery, low/high-voltage packs, and lithium-ion batteries for vehicles. Our product is supported by 80+ R&D engineers (e.g., lion lithium battery series) boast 5,000+ charge cycles, IP66 protection, and CE/REACH/VDA certification. We have completed over 100,000 deliveries worldwide (without any major quality issues) and are the preferred partner of companies such as KION, Linde, and Toyota - this fully demonstrates the outstanding quality of "Made in China". We currently have a production capacity of 3 gwh and are expanding by 10 gwh: converting technological advantages into cost-effectiveness in the context of subsidy cuts. Our global supply chain replaces low-quality options with reliable forklift lithium battery and industrial solutions across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

The rebate phase-out is a catalyst for industry upgrade. LITHIUM STORAGE, with its technological prowess and global reach, leads the elimination of low-quality supply chains, elevating Chinese lithium-ion battery solutions globally. We invite international partners to join us—powering industry’s future with quality and innovation.
