Expectations for the commercialization of all-solid-state batteries, considered the next-generation battery, have been reignited, causing domestic secondary battery material-related stocks to show strength across the board. In particular, companies with core materials and process technologies, such as Hannong Chemicals, Daejoo Electronic Materials, and ISU Specialty Chemical, drew market attention and trended upward.

As of the morning session on the 24th, Hannong Chemicals is trading at 14,320 won, up 1.99% from the previous trading day. Daejoo Electronic Materials rose 3.34% to 102,200 won, and ISU Specialty Chemical climbed 1.69% to 72,200 won, respectively reflecting strong investor interest.

In the market, attention is focusing on the growth potential of related companies as all-solid-state batteries are evaluated as a next-generation core technology that can overcome the limitations of existing lithium-ion batteries. All-solid-state batteries have the advantage of using solid electrolytes instead of conventional liquid electrolytes, which can drastically reduce fire risks and increase energy density.

The moves of companies classified as related theme stocks are also drawing attention. Hannong Chemicals has consistently been in the market spotlight in connection with its polymer electrolyte material business for all-solid-state batteries. Daejoo Electronic Materials is expected to benefit from the expansion of the next-generation battery market based on its competitiveness built in the silicon anode material sector. ISU Specialty Chemical has also established itself as a representative stock by actively promoting core material businesses for all-solid-state batteries, such as lithium sulfide.

The industry predicts that as global automakers and battery companies accelerate the development race for all-solid-state batteries, whether related material companies secure technological capabilities will be a crucial variable in determining their future corporate value.

However, uncertainty still remains regarding the timing of full-scale commercialization and profitability of all-solid-state batteries. Therefore, some advise that investors need to comprehensively review each company's technology development status and production capacity expansion plans.

Meanwhile, market interest in the overall secondary battery sector is expected to persist as the increase in power demand driven by the expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) data centers aligns with the growth outlook for the electric vehicle market.
