Batteries – Key Trends
The main trends shaping the batteries industry theme over the next 12 to 24 months are technology trends, macroeconomic trends, and regulatory trends.
- Technology trends: Some of the key technology trends impacting the batteries theme are the dominance of lithium batteries, the search among cell makers and their component suppliers for more effective materials and chemical mixes, the silicon and graphene revolution,the development of sodium-ion batteries as a cheaper, if less power-dense, alternative to Li-ion batteries and the availability of battery alternatives such as ultracapacitors and hydrogen fuel cells.
- Macroeconomic trends: Rising demand for batteries from the EV industry, battery recycling, the geopolitical battery arms race,and growing focus on ESG are some of the key macroeconomic trends impacting the batteries’
- Regulatory trends: Norway’s investment to be the EU’s battery hub, COP27 fallout, and Graphite tariffs are some of the regulatory trends impacting batteries.
Batteries – Industry Analysis
An energy conversion mega-trend is forming, and a high-growth, high-profile, and mission-critical global battery industry is emerging with it. Most of the growth in battery industry revenues will come from Li-ion batteries for automotive end uses. The Li-ion battery industry was valued at $88.6 billion in 2022. It is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 12% during 2022-2035. Revenues from sales of Li-ion batteries for mobility end uses will drive much of the expansion, alongside considerable YoY growth in consumer electronics and energy storage.

Batteries - Value Chain Analysis
The batteries value chain is split into raw materials, refining and processing, component makers, battery technologies, end markets, and end of life.
Raw materials: Natural resources and raw materials are fundamental to technological development. Lithium, cobalt, nickel, aluminum, cadmium, and zinc are among the most common metals used. The emerging challenge for the next decade will be whether extraction can meet soaring demand. The mining industry has always been speculative, chronically cyclical, and subject to bouts of over- and under-investment. There will be a dearth of investment for key battery material extraction until capital markets come in from the cold and unless—or until—the mining sector becomes strongly bid in global equity markets. This will create supply bottlenecks and price rises.

Scope
- This report provides an overview of the batteries theme.
- It identifies the key trends impacting the growth of the theme over the next 12 to 24 months, split into three categories: technology trends, macroeconomic trends, and regulatory trends.
- It includes an analysis of multiple data sets, including patents and M&A trends, alongside a timeline highlighting milestones in the development of the batteries.
- The detailed value chain discusses the core segments, including raw materials, smelting and refining, component makers, battery technologies, end markets, and end-of-life.
Key Highlights
- As governments worldwide get serious about decarbonizing their economies, demand for cheap, safe, high-performance, long-lasting, and low-carbon-footprint batteries will soar, most notably from the automotive industry. Consequently, supply chain bottlenecks will materialize over the next decade. The lack of low-cost, easy-to-purify raw materials to feed the world’s existing and planned battery giga-factories is the biggest threat to supply security. Moreover, the decline in investment in crucial mineral mines—coupled with the growing importance of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors—will restrict the development of new capacity.
- There will likely be a severe but temporary global battery shortage by 2025 due to a sharp increase in demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and a shortage of mined and refined battery metals. However, the industry is investing heavily to prevent this from becoming a sustained threat by reducing its use of scarce materials, developing new materials and battery technologies, and, most importantly, creating a global battery recycling industry.
- Meanwhile, China’s control of the entire global supply chain, from mines and refiners to component markers and cell producers, is a mounting geopolitical issue. The US and Europe are taking significant steps to reduce the dependence on China within their battery supply chains by 2030. Battery recycling is as much about geopolitics as it is about environmental sustainability. The circular battery economy will be critical to the energy transition, and nations (and companies) must develop domestic recycling.
Reasons to Buy
