The steep decline of battery costs (down 14% last year and expected to decline by at least 10% per year to 2030) makes bigger battery packs more affordable and is one of the key reasons
In 2023, the supply of cobalt and nickel exceeded demand by 6.5% and 8%, and supply of lithium by over 10%, thereby bringing down critical mineral prices and battery costs. While low critical
In 2023, the supply of cobalt and nickel exceeded demand by 6.5% and 8%, and supply of lithium by over 10%, thereby bringing down critical mineral prices and battery costs. While low critical mineral prices help bring battery costs down, they also imply lower cash flows and narrower margins for mining companies.
Rising raw material prices are challenging the long-standing consensus that battery prices will continue to decline in the coming decade.
Battery demand for lithium stood at around 140 kt in 2023, 85% of total lithium demand and up more than 30% compared to 2022; for cobalt, demand for batteries was up 15% at 150 kt, 70% of the total. To a lesser extent, battery demand growth contributes to increasing total demand for nickel, accounting for over 10% of total nickel demand.
Turmoil in battery metal markets led the cost of Li-ion battery packs to increase for the first time in 2022, with prices rising to 7% higher than in 2021. However, the price of all key battery metals dropped during 2023, with cobalt, graphite and manganese prices falling to lower than their 2015-2020 average by the end of 2023.
This variant has higher nickel content and unique features like better energy storage and vehicle range. Thus, as EV adoption rises, nickel demand is expected to soar. The global nickel demand for EV batteries will reach 1.4 million metric tons (Mt) by 2030 and 2.2 Mt by 2040.
However, advancements in battery technologies present viable pathways to reduce reliance on nickel. For example, expanding LFP battery adoption could decrease nickel demand by 33% by 2030 and 21% by 2040 compared to baseline projections.
