As expectations for the commercialization of all-solid-state batteries spread, secondary battery-related material stocks are receiving strong interest from investors. All-solid-state batteries are considered a next-generation core technology that can innovatively improve safety and energy density compared to existing lithium-ion batteries.

On the morning of the 9th, in the stock market, Hannong Chemical, Isu Specialty Chemical, and Daejoo Electronic Materials—classified as next-generation battery-related stocks—showed a simultaneous upward trend.

First, Hannong Chemical, which is expected to benefit from its polymer electrolyte-related business, traded at 15,550 won during the session, rising 2.91% compared to the previous trading day. Its intraday high reached 15,840 won.

Isu Specialty Chemical, which leads the solid electrolyte material sector including lithium sulfide, also showed an upward trend, rising 0.90% to 78,400 won. During the session, it climbed up to 81,300 won, reflecting the market's interest in core material companies.

Daejoo Electronic Materials, considered a beneficiary of the next-generation battery market based on its silicon anode material technology, rose 0.28% to 108,800 won, continuing a slightly upward trend. This stock also recorded an intraday high of 114,300 won.

The market analysis suggests that as competition for all-solid-state battery technology begins in earnest alongside the growth of the electric vehicle market, investment attention is focusing on related material and component companies. In particular, if the competition among global battery companies to develop all-solid-state batteries accelerates, the growth potential of domestic material companies included in the related supply chain is expected to become even more prominent.

However, the industry believes that the timing of full-scale mass production and the speed of commercialization of all-solid-state batteries may vary depending on each company's research and development results and market conditions. Therefore, some point out that investors need to approach this cautiously.
