The global lithium-ion battery market size was estimated at USD 54.4 billion in 2023 and is projected to register a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.3% from 2024 to 2030. Automotive sector is expected to witness significant growth owing to the low cost of lithium-ion batteries.
Rising demand for substitutes, including sodium nickel chloride batteries, lithium-air flow batteries, lead acid batteries, and solid-state batteries, in electric vehicles, energy storage, and consumer electronics is expected to restrain the growth of the lithium-ion battery industry over the forecast period.
Industry-specific and extensively researched technical data (partially from exclusive partnerships). A paid subscription is required for full access. The global demand for lithium-ion battery cells is forecast to increase from approximately 700 gigawatt-hours in 2022 to 4,700 gigawatt-hours in 2030.
Advancements in the technologies used in wearable devices and consumer electronics in Asia Pacific are also fueling the Lithium-ion Battery Market Growth in the region. China accounted for the largest share of the lithium-ion battery market in Asia Pacific as it is one of the major lithium-ion battery producers in the region.
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.
But a 2022 analysis by the McKinsey Battery Insights team projects that the entire lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery chain, from mining through recycling, could grow by over 30 percent annually from 2022 to 2030, when it would reach a value of more than $400 billion and a market size of 4.7 TWh. 1
