Our customers get access to in-depth price data and short- and long-term forecasting and analysis for the following raw materials: Lithium and spodumene. Cobalt. Black mass. Manganese. Graphite. Nickel. And more commodities used in the production of EVs and batteries, including rare earths, aluminium, copper and steel.
Comparing cobalt, lithium and nickel (the major battery raw materials) the cobalt mar-ket is expected to see the highest proportion of demand coming from secondary supply. Secondary cobalt is expected to increase from 6% of demand in 2023 to 10% by 2030 and 29% by 2040.
The critical mineral and battery industries, including cobalt, are increasingly exposed to geopo-litical and supply chain risks. China’s export restrictions on graphite and rare earths have further highlighted the sensitivity of supply chains that are key to the global energy transition.
A full review of cobalt used in lithium-ion batteries, including the growing popularity of NMC (and NCA) battery cathode chemistries. A quantification of the substitution by nickel going forward against the increasing uptake of electric cars and the fall-out for the cobalt market.
Cobalt maintains a key role in a number of the major battery chemis-tries for stability and performance – this mega trend will underpin cobalt’s continued, and robust, growth. Traditional applications remain steady: demand will continue to grow from all non-battery applications, albeit at much slower growth rates than the battery sector.
Get up-to-speed with our battery raw material prices, news, trends and forecasts. The price of lithium is falling, but some Western companies have recently announced more investments in the Lithium Triangle – a region of South America comprising parts of Argentina, Chile and Bolivia.
There have been similar reports from some major ex. China battery producers who have decided to remain with mid nickel chemistries as cobalt prices have declined – this has reduced some cost pressure from higher cobalt intensities. With weaker demand for EVs, narrowing margins and economic headwinds, cost is paramount for OEMs and the downstream.
