Prices: Both lithium-ion battery pack and energy storage system prices are expected to fall again in 2024. Rapid growth of battery manufacturing has outpaced demand, which is leading to significant downward pricing pressure as battery makers try to recoup investment and reduce losses tied to underutilization of their plants.
Further innovation in battery chemistries and manufacturing is projected to reduce global average lithium-ion battery costs by a further 40% from 2023 to 2030 and bring sodium‑ion batteries to the market. In the NZE Scenario, lithium-ion chemistries continue providing the vast majority of EV batteries to 2030.
Despite the continuing use of lithium-ion batteries in billions of personal devices in the world, the energy sector now accounts for over 90% of annual lithium-ion battery demand. This is up from 50% for the energy sector in 2016, when the total lithium-ion battery market was 10-times smaller.
Lithium-ion batteries dominate both EV and storage applications, and chemistries can be adapted to mineral availability and price, demonstrated by the market share for lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries rising to 40% of EV sales and 80% of new battery storage in 2023.
In the short to medium-term, deficits are expected for lithium in 2022-2023, whereas the global supply/demand market balance will be tight for nickel (by 2029), graphite (by 2024) and manganese (by 2025). By 2025, the EU domestic production of battery cells is expected to cover EU’s consumption needs for electric vehicles and energy storage.
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.
Annual lithium-ion demand surpasses 1 TWh for first time
5 · The EV market continues to make up the majority of lithium ion battery demand, but is far lagging behind the impressive growth of the BESS market. In recent years, the demand for lithium-ion batteries in stationary storage applications has doubled from 7% in 2020 to 15% in 2024, making it the fastest growing battery demand market.
