Global cumulative lithium-ion battery capacity could rise over five-fold to 5,500 gigawatt-hour (GWh) between 2021 and 2030, says Wood Mackenzie, a Verisk business (Nasdaq:VRSK). The Asia Pacific region, led by China, accounted for 90% of the world’s battery manufacturing in 2021.
Wood Mackenzie consultant Jiayue Zheng said: “The electric vehicle (EV) market accounts for almost 80% of lithium-ion battery demand. High oil prices are supporting more markets to roll out zero-emission transportation policies, causing demand for lithium-ion battery to skyrocket and exceed 3,000 GWh by 2030.
Major Chinese battery manufacturer CATL is rapidly expanding its presence in the upstream part of the Li-ion battery supply chain. On September 7, Chinese battery material producer Lopal Technology announced that it will be developing a project for manufacturing lithium carbonate with two wholly-owned subsidiaries of CATL.
But a 2022 analysis by the McKinsey Battery Insights team projects that the entire lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery chain, from mining through recycling, could grow by over 30 percent annually from 2022 to 2030, when it would reach a value of more than $400 billion and a market size of 4.7 TWh. 1
Another trend to watch is the growing prominence of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries as nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) batteries lose market share. Historically, the EV and energy storage system markets have mostly deployed NCM batteries given their availability and maturity. In 2021, NCM still accounted for half of the market share.
around 50 percent in 2020 and doubled to approximately seven million units in 2021. At the same time, surging EV demand has seen lithium prices skyrocket by around 550 percent in a year: by the beginning of March 2022, the lithium carbonate price had passed $75,000 per metric ton and lithium hydroxide prices had exceeded $65,000
