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.
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.
Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) are pivotal in the shift towards electric mobility, having seen an 85 % reduction in production costs over the past decade. However, achieving even more significant cost reductions is vital to making battery electric vehicles (BEVs) widespread and competitive with internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs).
The market for lithium-ion batteries continues to expand globally: In 2023, sales could exceed the 1 TWh mark for the first time. By 2030, demand is expected to more than triple to over 3 TWh which has many implications for the industry, but also for technology development and the requirements for batteries.
