As highlighted in our 2017 report, China continues to play a central role in the global battery materials supply chain, as it maintains its position as the largest processor and exporter of lithium chemicals, cobalt, and graphite. USA and Europe
China will continue to be the major supplier of battery-grade raw materials over 2030, even though global supply of these materials will be increasingly diversified. Possible supply shortages will remain.
The global demand for raw materials for batteries such as nickel, graphite and lithium is projected to increase in 2040 by 20, 19 and 14 times, respectively, compared to 2020. China will continue to be the major supplier of battery-grade raw materials over 2030, even though global supply of these materials will be increasingly diversified.
As global demand for lithium-ion batteries continues to increase, actors in the battery industry must navigate this new environment and proactively enhance accountability across their operations and supply chains. --------------------------------
Players in the battery value chain who want to localize the supply chain could mitigate these risks through vertical integration, localized upstream value chain, strategic partnerships, and stringent planning of manufacturing ramp-ups. The battery value chain is facing both significant opportunities and challenges due to its unprecedented growth.
The raw materials lithium, nickel, manganese, cobalt and graphite (natural and artificial) have supply chains of varying complexity, which are specifically examined in this study due to their economic importance and their relevance for the ecological balance of battery cells.
