Our Five Beliefs for the 2030 Battery Market 1. Lithium-ion batteries will remain dominant for the foreseeable future Lithium-ion batteries have dominated the global EV battery
LFP will be the dominant battery chemistry over nickel manganese cobalt by 2028, in a global market exceeding 3,000GWh of demand by 2030.
Battery prices continue to tumble on the back of lower metal costs and increased scale, squeezing margins for manufacturers. Further price declines are expected over the next decade.
Lithium battery price in 2025 averages $151/kWh, with EV packs from $4,760–$19,200. Prices keep falling due to tech advances and lower material costs.
Industrial battery technology company Morrow Batteries has been selected as one of the preferred suppliers of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery cells in Ukraine to support the country''s push to build a distributed
According to the IEA, LFP batteries now make up nearly 50% of the global EV battery market, up from under 10% in 2020. In a separate forecast by energy transition
Challenges in Scaling LFP Battery Production Raw materials will always remain the primary challenge in scaling up LFP battery production. These batteries require substantial amounts of lithium. This year, global
According to a recent report released by Goldman Sachs, the global average battery price has dropped from $153/kWh in 2022 to $149/kWh in 2023. Goldman Sachs predicts that by the end of this year, the price is expected to fall to
Morrow Batteries has agreed on a Memorandum of understanding with the State Agency on Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine (SAEE) regarding possible supply with LFP battery cells for battery
EU expects battery pack price of less than $100/kWh by 2026/27 The prediction was included in the "Battery technology in the European Union: 2024 status report on technological development, trends, value chains
However, only the LFP battery for EVs showed potential to reach the target price of $80/kWh by 2030, even with a high compound annual growth rate. Nonetheless, it's crucial to note that the price decline due to learning effects is anticipated to be counterbalanced by carbon regulations when factoring in carbon costs on LIBs.
The average price of an LFP cell was just under $60/kWh in 2024. Currently, Greater China has a near monopoly in LFP cell manufacturing, considering the negligible LFP production capacity in Europe and North America. However, LFP production capacity is poised to expand, especially in Europe, through this decade.
The price of LFP cells is over 20% lower than nickel cobalt manganese (NCM) cells. The average price of an LFP cell was just under $60/kWh in 2024. Currently, Greater China has a near monopoly in LFP cell manufacturing, considering the negligible LFP production capacity in Europe and North America.
The report states that LFP batteries reached 80% of the batteries sold in China during November and December. “The higher energy density of NMC batteries remains an advantage for applications requiring longer ranges or operation in cold climates,” the report notes.
Based on different mineral price growth scenarios (Fig. S7 and Fig. S8), the model predicts that the global weighted averages of LIB pack prices for electric vehicles will range from $66.9/kWh to $88.5/kWh in 2030.
The addition of LFP capacities outside of Greater China will raise the global average price of LFP cells in the midterm, but as the manufacturing cost is brought under control through process improvements, the global LFP average cell price will gradually fall below the current level.
