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 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.
Our analysis of raw material requirements for batteries, which includes a radical shift away from cobalt- to more nickel-intensive batteries, shows that with expected metal supply developments, EV adoption is likely to be challenged by availability of cobalt and class 1 nickel around 2025.
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.
At present, nickel demand for batteries makes up only a small share (~3 percent) of class 1 nickel demand. However, growth in nickel-intensive batteries is expected to boost demand for batteries by a factor of ~17 up to 2025 (from ~30 kt to 570 kt).
