This work is independent, reflects the views of the authors, and has not been commissioned by any business, government, or other institution. Global demand for batteries is increasing, driven largely by the imperative to reduce climate change through electrification of mobility and the broader energy transition.
The global battery market size was estimated at USD 134,622.4 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 16.4% from 2025 to 2030. The increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is a significant factor driving the growth of the market.
In the rest of the world, battery demand growth jumped to more than 70% in 2023 compared to 2022, as a result of increasing EV sales. In China, PHEVs accounted for about one-third of total electric car sales in 2023 and 18% of battery demand, up from one-quarter of total sales in 2022 and 17% of sales in 2021.
Over the long term, factors such as the declining lithium-ion battery prices and the growing usage of automotive batteries in electric vehicles are expected to drive the market. On the flip side, a mismatch in the demand and supply of raw materials for battery manufacturing is likely to hinder the market growth.
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).
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.
Batteries: The Greenflation Challenge
4. Greenflation not only leads to margin risks near term, but also raises the battery industry entry barriers since the access to raw materials becomes more difficult. This implies that the industry structure will likely remain consolidated and battery cell supply-demand will be running tight outside of China through 2025. 5.
