In 2021, the revenue of Suining’s lithium battery industry increased by 67.3%, and the total planned investment of lithium battery projects in the town exceeds 60 billion yuan ($8.42 billion).
As the penetration rate of electric cars approaches 25% in China, China’s lithium battery companies want a piece of the insane profits to be made from extraction and processing raw materials.
China-based mining and battery giants have placed winning bids on five development-stage lithium projects valued at $1.58 billion, not including off-take and royalty deals, according to an analysis by S&P Global Market Intelligence.
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
As of September 28, a Chinese newspaper counted 26 new expansion projects related to storage and power batteries that have been announced so far this year alone, with a cumulative investment of 290 billion yuan ($40.74 billion) and total production capacity of 820 GWh. These projects involve all of China’s largest electric battery producers.
Global deficits in lithium supplies may also surge more than 60-fold to 950,000 tonnes in 2030, according to Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, as rising sales of electric vehicles spur demand for the battery-making metal.
