Forum Overview
2026 (2nd) Qidian Lithium-Ion Cylindrical Battery Technology Forum
and the Release of the Top 20 Cylindrical Battery Rankings
—A Leap Forward in All-Tab Technology: Leading the Large Cylindrical Battery Market—
April 10, 2026, Shenzhen

I. Event Background and Highlights

As full-tab technology overcomes its bottlenecks and large-format cylindrical batteries accelerate their penetration into the power and energy storage sectors, the cylindrical battery industry is poised to experience a dual boom of technological advancement and market expansion in 2026. Co-hosted by Qidian Lithium and the Qidian Research Institute (SPIR), the 2026 (2nd) Qidian Cylindrical Battery Technology Forum and the Top 20 Cylindrical Battery Ranking Release Ceremony has been officially scheduled for April 10 at the Venus Royal Hotel in Bao’an, Shenzhen. Under the theme “Advances in Full-Tab Technology: Leading the Large Cylindrical Battery Market,” the event will bring together over 600 industry leaders to explore pathways for technological breakthroughs and new growth opportunities in the sector.

With the industry booming, we are focusing on key sectors to break through the competition

In 2025, the cylindrical battery industry experienced explosive growth—according to statistics from SPIR, a research institute under Qidian, China’s cylindrical battery shipments grew by more than 15% year-over-year, with large cylindrical batteries seeing growth exceeding 40%. with leading companies such as EVE Energy (71.780, -0.20, -0.28%), Dofo New Energy (31.910, -0.04, -0.13%), and Penghui Energy (67.900, 0.78, 1.16%) continuing to face supply shortages. Large-format cylindrical products in the 32, 40, 46, and 60 series have rapidly gained traction in applications such as electric two-wheelers, residential energy storage, light-duty power systems, and automotive powertrains. The integration of technologies like full-tab, high-nickel, silicon-carbon, and sodium-ion batteries with cylindrical cells has further expanded the industry’s growth potential.

In 2026, the industrialization of large-format cylindrical batteries will accelerate, with 46-series full-tab cells and 60-series large-format cylindrical energy storage batteries becoming key competitive focal points. Explosive demand from emerging applications such as AI robots, drones, and EVTOLs will drive the evolution of cylindrical batteries toward higher power, higher energy density, and lower costs. This forum precisely targets the industry’s core, focusing on three key sessions—technology applications, new materials and processes, and full-tab large-format cylindrical batteries—to thoroughly analyze industrialization challenges and growth opportunities.

Three Core Sessions: Unlocking the Secrets to Industry Growth

1. Cylindrical Battery Technology and Applications Session: Release of the *2026 China Cylindrical Battery White Paper*; announcement of the Top 20 in the 2026 China Cylindrical Battery Comprehensive Competitiveness Ranking (covering the entire supply chain from cells to equipment and materials); analysis of technology upgrade paths for 40-series and automotive-grade large cylindrical batteries; and discussion of innovative application implementations in scenarios such as energy storage, electric two-wheelers, and automotive powertrains.

2. New Materials and New Processes Session: Focusing on the mass production of high-nickel cathodes and silicon-based anodes, as well as full-line process optimization and breakthroughs in multi-pouring technology. The session will explore thermal management upgrades and PACK smart manufacturing solutions, addressing core challenges in cost control and yield improvement.

3. Full-Tab Large-Cylindrical Battery Technology Innovation Session: Addressing the pain points in mass production of 46-series full-tab cells and 60-series large-cylindrical energy storage batteries; exploring fast-charging solutions for LFP large-cylindrical batteries and the technical pathways for solid-state + large-cylindrical batteries; and assessing the application potential in emerging scenarios such as AI robots and new energy vehicles.

Each session will feature a high-level roundtable discussion, where industry leaders will engage in in-depth dialogue on core topics such as overseas market access, expansion into emerging growth markets, balancing cost reduction with performance, the large-scale application of new materials, and cost control for full-tab large-format cylindrical batteries. These discussions will provide enterprises with actionable solutions and forward-looking trend analysis.
