Demand for high capacity lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), used in stationary storage systems as part of energy systems [1, 2] and battery electric vehicles (BEVs), reached 340 GWh in 2021 . Estimates see annual LIB demand grow to between 1200 and 3500 GWh by 2030 [3, 4].
This graphic uses exclusive data from our partner, Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, to rank the top lithium-ion battery producing countries by their forecasted capacity (measured in gigawatt-hours or GWh) in 2030. Chinese companies are expected to account for nearly 70% of global battery capacity by 2030, delivering over 6,200 gigawatt-hours.
China had the highest lithium-ion batteries revenue opportunities, with a combined amount of approximately 185 billion U.S. dollars forecast for 2030.

Strong growth in lithium-ion battery (LIB) demand requires a robust understanding of both costs and environmental impacts across the value-chain. Recent announcements of LIB manufacturers to venture into cathode active material (CAM) synthesis and recycling expands the process segments under their influence.
As the world transitions away from fossil fuels toward a greener future, the lithium battery industry could grow fivefold by 2030. This shift could create over $400 billion in annual revenue opportunities globally. For this graphic, we partnered with EnergyX to determine how the battery industry could grow by 2030.
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.
