This drives the growth of the nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery market. As the nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) batteries are widely used various government authorities have established favorable policies to ease the supply and regulate cost of minerals including Nickel and Cobalt.
The NMC market reached USD 21.9 billion, USD 25.8 billion, and USD 30.5 billion in 2022, 2023 and 2024 respectively. The nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery market has been observing significant growth due to growing demand for efficient batteries from different industrial applications such as EV, ESS and many more.
Market players including CATL, Clarios, Exide Technologies, Tesla, Saft are the top 5 companies in the nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery market. The key 5 players hold nearly 40% of market share. Among these, CATL is one of the major share holding player in the market.
Based on current market observations, battery manufacturers can expect challenges securing supply of several essential battery raw materials by 2030, McKinsey’s report finds. Battery makers use more than 80% of all lithium that is mined today, and that share could grow to 95% by 2030.
Meanwhile, the supply of manganese is projected to grow moderately through 2030, but an increasing demand for battery-grade material is likely to outpace supply, requiring the development of new refineries.
