Analysis on the spatial and temporal evolution of the competitiveness and influence of the global lithium ion battery export trade
As a new clean energy source,lithium-ion battery is an important support point to achieve the goal of"double-carbon".In order to explore the competitiveness and influence of major lithium-ion battery exporters in export trade,this paper analyzes the overall pattern of lithi-um-ion battery export trade from 2012 to 2020,and analyzes the competitiveness of major coun-tries in export trade volume,the control ability in trade flow and diversified trade channels;and analyzes the influence evaluation index of major lithium-ion battery exporters(China,Japan and South Korea).The results show that:(1)the global export scale of lithium ion battery shows a continuous upward trend and the spatial imbalance is gradually shrinking,from the beginning of the concentration in Europe,East Asia,North America to later basically covering the whole world.(2)China has an absolute dominant position in the export weak capacity and export struc-ture;the United States and Germany have high trade intermediary control ability;Japan and South Korea have certain dominant advantages but both less in advantage than China.(3)The number of countries with different influence types of lithium ion battery export in China is even-ly distributed and the number of trading partners is increasing;the number of countries(regions)in Japan and South Korea is"polarizing",with the least influenced countries(regions)and the most weak influence types.(4)The United States,Germany,France and some other developed countries are very strongly influenced by Japan and South Korea,and they are relatively strong or moderately influenced by China.In addition,based on the research conclusions,some sugges-tions are put forward to promote the development of China's lithium ion battery export trade.
