Global demand for Li-ion batteries is expected to soar over the next decade, with the number of GWh required increasing from about 700 GWh in 2022 to around 4.7 TWh by 2030 (Exhibit 1). Batteries for mobility applications, such as electric vehicles (EVs), will account for the vast bulk of demand in 2030—about 4,300 GWh; an. . The global battery value chain, like others within industrial manufacturing, faces significant environmental, social, and governance (ESG). . Some recent advances in battery technologies include increased cell energy density, new active material chemistries such as solid-state batteries, and cell and packaging production. . Battery manufacturers may find new opportunities in recycling as the market matures. Companies could create a closed-loop, domestic supply chain that involves the collection,. . The 2030 Outlook for the battery value chain depends on three interdependent elements (Exhibit 12): 1. Supply-chain resilience. A resilient. [pdf]
Automotive lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery demand increased by about 65% to 550 GWh in 2022, from about 330 GWh in 2021, primarily as a result of growth in electric passenger car sales, with new registrations increasing by 55% in 2022 relative to 2021.
In China, battery demand for vehicles grew over 70%, while electric car sales increased by 80% in 2022 relative to 2021, with growth in battery demand slightly tempered by an increasing share of PHEVs. Battery demand for vehicles in the United States grew by around 80%, despite electric car sales only increasing by around 55% in 2022.
The World Economic Forum predicted that the global battery demand will be 2,600 GWh in 2030 (ref. 7). Figure 1 shows the expected global battery demand from 2021 to 2040 (refs. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13) for different Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) scenarios, as well as the forecasted market shares of different battery chemistries 14.
The global market for Lithium-ion batteries is expanding rapidly. We take a closer look at new value chain solutions that can help meet the growing demand.
Stationary storage will also increase battery demand, accounting for about 400 GWh in STEPS and 500 GWh in APS in 2030, which is about 12% of EV battery demand in the same year in both the STEPS and the APS. IEA. Licence: CC BY 4.0 Battery production has been ramping up quickly in the past few years to keep pace with increasing demand.
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

It is commonly accepted that "Fuel cells" is the biggest competitor of lithium-ion batteries. The research and development direction of fuel cells is. . There are endless cases of lithium-ion battery explosions and fire injuries. Facing the dilemma of "Good materials are not safe, and safe materials. . In recent years, battery manufacturers have begun to think about the feasibility of making sodium-ion batteries. There are two motivations: These. It is commonly accepted that "Fuel cells" is the biggest competitor of lithium-ion batteries. The research and development direction of fuel cells is mainly based on hydrogen energy batteries. [pdf]
However, most of the alternative battery technologies considered have a lower energy density than lithium-ion batteries, which is why a larger quantity of raw materials is typically required to achieve the same storage capacity.
However, less developed battery technologies such as zinc, magnesium or aluminium-ion batteries, sodium-sulphur RT batteries or zinc-air batteries also have high potential, particularly due to the availability of relevant resources in Europe.
While it is likely that lithium-ion will remain the dominant technology in the near future, there are plenty of potential long-term challengers. Here are three options. Sodium-ion batteries are an emerging technology with promising cost, safety, sustainability and performance advantages over commercialised lithium-ion batteries.
Yes, lithium-ion batteries are currently produced in an environmentally unsustainable manner due to unethical mining, low recycling rates, and other factors. How long do lithium-ion batteries last? Lithium-ion batteries typically last for half a decade or 800-1,000 charge cycles after which you may notice significant performance degradation.
In contrast to research into lithium-ion batteries, which will provide incremental gains in performance towards theoretical limits, research into solid-state batteries is long term and high risk but also has the potential to bring high rewards.
While Chinese companies are in a leading position to wring efficiency gains out of lithium-ion batteries, U.S. companies and universities have been investing in solid-state technology for more than a decade.
