Not long ago, Japanese media reported that from May this year, the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry will invest 1.6 billion yen in the United Nations Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Panasonic, GS Yuasa, Toray, Asahi Kasei, Mitsui Chemicals, Mitsubishi Chemicals, etc. Large-scale automobile manufacturers, battery and material manufacturers, jointly develop solid-state batteries.

　　According to the data, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan is subordinate to the Central Department of Japan and is mainly responsible for enhancing the vitality of the private economy, enabling the smooth development of foreign economic relations, ensuring economic and industrial development, and ensuring stable and efficient supply of mineral resources and energy.

　　Raising solid-state batteries to the height of national strategy and assembling the top domestic industrial chain forces, Japan’s determination to seize the commanding heights in the solid-state battery field is evident. The regaining of the power battery market share seized by Chinese and South Korean companies was interpreted by Japanese domestic media as one of the purposes of the government's efforts to increase the research and development of solid-state batteries.

　　Although Japan, which has the first-mover advantage in the industrialization of lithium battery technology (the world's first lithium-ion battery was first mass-produced by Japan's SONY company in 1991), has fully shared the dividends of the lithium battery industry, but it has multiple influences on policies, markets and development strategies. In the face of the fierce offensive of rising star Chinese and Korean battery companies, Japan can only manage to maintain a passive contraction in the field of lithium batteries in recent years.

　　According to the data provided by JFD, the global market share of lithium batteries in Japan has dropped to about 15% in 2016.

　　Obviously, the Japanese government and companies are not willing to accept this situation. It is a breakthrough plan given by the Japanese society to develop solid-state batteries that are recognized as the next-generation batteries. According to the clues of Japan's layout in the field of solid-state batteries, it can be basically concluded that this will not be an "empty shot."

　　In the field of solid-state batteries, Japan will steadily and steadily show its consistent style of focusing on core technology.

　　Before the formal capital contribution, in order to ensure the global dominance of all-solid-state batteries for vehicles, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan is considering applying to the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to promote the development of international standards.
