Major lithium battery makers in China invested over 439 billion yuan ($63.1 billion) to build new production lines in the first half in 2022, which were expected to generate a production capacity of 1,069 gigawatt-hour, according to industry data.
Automotive lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery demand increased by about 65% to 550 GWh in 2022, from about 330 GWh in 2021, primarily as a result of growth in electric passenger car sales, with new registrations increasing by 55% in 2022 relative to 2021.
The under-construction Chuneng New Energy lithium battery industrial park in Yichang, central China, April 2023. Once complete, this complex will be able to build 150 gigawatt-hours of batteries per year, or roughly three million EV batteries.
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.
In 2022, about 60% of lithium, 30% of cobalt and 10% of nickel demand was for EV batteries. Just five years earlier, in 2017, these shares were around 15%, 10% and 2%, respectively.
Lithium-free batteries like sodium-ion batteries could play similar roles in segments where the specific energy requirement is low. 13 In addition, practices such as battery swapping and fast charging can effectively contain EV battery capacity and thus suppress lithium demand.
The 426% year-on-year increase of LFP battery deployment in the second half of 2021 effectively contained the demands and price volatilities of cobalt and nickel.
