Global manufacturing capacity for battery cells now totals 3.1 TWh, which is more than 2.5 times the annual demand for lithium-ion batteries in 2024, BNEF says. Regionally, China had the lowest average battery pack prices at USD 94 per kWh, while costs in the US and Europe were 31% and 48% higher, respectively.
The global average price of lithium-ion battery packs has fallen by 20% year-on-year to USD 115 (EUR 109) per kWh in 2024, marking the steepest decline since 2017, according to BloombergNEF’s annual battery price survey, unveiled on Tuesday. Battery storage system. Image by: Aurora Energy Research.
Lithium-ion batteries require specific raw materials like lithium, cobalt, nickel, and graphite. Fluctuations in the prices of these materials impact battery costs. For instance, cobalt's limited supply and geopolitical challenges have led to price volatility. Related:
Data until March 2023. Lithium-ion battery prices (including the pack and cell) represent the global volume-weighted average across all sectors. Nickel prices are based on the London Metal Exchange, used here as a proxy for global pricing, although most nickel trade takes place through direct contracts between producers and consumers.
Lithium prices reached a high point at the end of 2022, but fears that prices would remain high have largely subsided since then and prices are now falling again. Evelina Stoikou, energy storage senior associate at BNEF and lead author of the report, said: “It is another year where battery prices closely followed raw material prices.
Germany leads the production of EVs in Europe and accounted for nearly 50% of European EV production in 2023, followed by France and Spain (with just under 10% each). Battery production in China is more integrated than in the United States or Europe, given China’s leading role in upstream stages of the supply chain.

It is currently the only viable chemistry that does not contain lithium. The Na-ion battery developed by China''s CATL is estimated to cost 30% less than an LFP battery. Conversely, Na-ion batteries do not have the same energy density as their Li-ion counterpart (respectively 75 to 160 Wh/kg compared to 120 to 260 Wh/kg). This could make Na ...
The research firm expects the average cost of lithium-ion battery cells to fall below $100 per kilowatt hour (kWh) in 2023 and to $73/kWh by 2030. This figure is the consensus industry benchmark where battery electric vehicles are expected to reach upfront price parity with internal combustion engine cars. Battery costs may fall further still ...
New York, December 10, 2024 – Battery prices saw their biggest annual drop since 2017. Lithium-ion battery pack prices dropped 20% from 2023 to a record low of $115 per kilowatt-hour, according to analysis by research provider BloombergNEF (BNEF).
Although lithium batteries have a high initial cost, in the long run, you can save on the following in the long run: Longevity: A lithium-ion battery can last 2 to 4X longer than a lead-acid battery; Energy bills: Lithium forklift batteries are 30% more energy-efficient and charge 8X faster than lead-acid batteries.

The price of lithium-ion battery packs has dropped 14% to a record low of $139/kWh, according to analysis by research provider BloombergNEF (BNEF). This was driven by raw material and component prices falling as production capacity increased across all parts of the battery value chain, while demand growth fell short of some industry expectations.
A multi-institutional research team led by Georgia Tech''s Hailong Chen has developed a new, low-cost cathode that could radically improve lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) — potentially transforming the electric vehicle (EV) market and large-scale energy storage systems. "For a long time, people have been looking for a lower-cost, more sustainable alternative to …
