Key Industry Insights & Findings from the Report:
Battery metals play a crucial role in manufacturing batteries, namely those utilized in electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy storage systems. These metals are necessary for the creation of high-performance batteries with effective energy storage and delivery. With the growing popularity of EVs and the increasing need for energy storage solutions to complement renewable energy sources, there has been a huge increase in the demand for battery metals. Continuous research and development are being conducted in order to find alternative materials, advance battery technology, and increase the sustainability of the whole supply chain—from mining to recycling. Furthermore, the need to diversify the sources of these vital metals has gained more attention due to supply chain issues and geopolitical considerations.
However, the COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in multiple manufacturing delays, which has slowed the market for lithium-ion battery metals. Disruptions in the supply chain have also hurt the market for lithium-ion battery metals. In order to guarantee seamless operations and a continuous supply of metals, businesses are currently attempting to establish long-term supply contracts with other suppliers.
The Battery Metals Market is segmented based on end-users and metal type. According to end-users, the market is segmented as Transportation, Consumer Electronics, Energy Storage Systems, and Others. The metal type segment includes Lithium, Nickel, Cobalt, and Others.
The transportation category is expected to hold a major share of the global Battery Metals Market in 2022. The transportation industry's increasing need for battery metals is caused by several causes, especially when it comes to electric vehicles (EVs). The main motivator is the growing popularity of electric cars (EVs). The automotive sector is moving towards electrification in an effort to cut down on fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, which has resulted in a sharp increase in demand for battery metals, including nickel, chrome, and lithium. Furthermore, greater driving ranges, quicker charging periods, and higher energy density have all resulted from advancements in battery technologies, notably those using lithium-ion batteries.
The lithium segment is projected to grow rapidly in the global Battery Metals Market due to the growing need for lithium-ion batteries in the consumer electronics and electric car sectors. Lithium metals market growth is also fueled by the lightweight, high energy density, and low maintenance requirements of lithium-ion batteries. Global demand for lithium batteries is rising as a result of the expanding market for electric cars and consumer electronics like laptops, cell phones, and Internet of Things (IoT) gadgets. Furthermore, the market for lithium battery metals is expanding due to the increasing use of lithium batteries in stationary energy storage systems.
Asia Pacific Battery Metals Market is expected to record the maximum market share in revenue in the near future. This share is credited to China, as it is the largest battery producer. China's ability to manufacture goods is due to its control over the supply chain. It has the greatest capability for producing chemicals from battery-grade raw materials (about 80.0% of global production), accounting for more than 20.0% of the world's supply of battery metals. Moreover, North America is expected to grow significantly in the coming years. The U.S. is the primary battery maker in the region and, thus, the primary metal user in North America. The nation's production capacity is being propelled by the EV sector's growing demand.
