This study focuses on the future demand for electric vehicle battery cathode raw materials lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese by considering different technology and
The quantities of material demand for manganese used in LIBs are low in contrast to the high global production volume. However, the calculation for lithium and cobalt predicts a higher material demand in 2040 than the production volume of these battery metals in 2021. In the case of nickel, it depends on the technology and growth scenario.
McKinsey's 2030 battery raw materials supply outlook (Source: McKinsey) McKinsey's report pinpoints geographical concentrations of raw materials: Indonesia is a key player in nickel, the DRC in cobalt and Argentina, Bolivia and Chile in lithium.
Depending on the growth and technology scenario, the future demand for lithium and cobalt exceeds today's production by up to 8 times in 2040. Nickel exceeds today's production in one scenario. For manganese, future demand in 2040 remains far below today's production.
The results show that in 2040 the future material demand for lithium, cobalt, and nickel for use in EV LIB cathodes exceed today's production volume. Future demand for lithium and cobalt in SSP1 and SSP2 exceeds today's production by up to 8 times. Nickel exceeds today's production only in the critical material scenario in SSP1.
Despite the decreasing role of cobalt in battery technology, McKinsey forecasts a 7.5% annual rise in cobalt demand until 2030. The volatility in cobalt prices and ethical sourcing concerns are driving the industry towards greater transparency and sustainability in cobalt procurement.
