Lithium-ion batteries have revolutionized our everyday lives, laying the foundations for a wireless, interconnected, and fossil-fuel-free society. Their potential is, however, yet to be reached.
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.
The future of lithium is closely tied to advancements in battery technology. Researchers and manufacturers continuously work towards enhancing lithium-ion batteries' performance, capacity, and safety. From solid-state batteries to new electrode materials, the race for innovation in lithium battery technology is relentless.
The lithium battery recycling industry has a promising future as demand for sustainable energy storage solutions intensifies. By 2030, global recycling infrastructure is expected to meet much of the EV sector’s needs, closing the loop on battery production and supply.
It is projected that between 2022 and 2030, the global demand for lithium-ion batteries will increase almost seven-fold, reaching 4.7 terawatt-hours in 2030. Much of this growth can be attributed to the rising popularity of electric vehicles, which predominantly rely on lithium-ion batteries for power.
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.
