Explore how Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP) batteries are transforming solar energy storage with safety, longevity, and efficiency.
"This is anticipated to support the prices of key battery materials—such as [lithium iron phosphate] LFP, li-ion battery copper foil, and electrolytes—thereby stabilizing average battery cell prices in the first quarter
New York, December 10, 2024 – Battery prices saw their biggest annual drop since 2017. Lithium-ion battery pack prices dropped 20% from 2023 to a record low of $115 per kilowatt-hour, according to analysis by research provider
Looking ahead to December, with year-end grid-connection projects in China nearing completion, the growth in orders is slowing, and battery prices are expected to stabilize in the short term.
The decline in prices is attributed to several factors, including excess battery cell production capacity, economies of scale, low metal and component prices, and the
The decline in lithium carbonate prices has significantly weakened its impact on battery costs. In January 2023, lithium carbonate constituted 51% of the total cost of LFP storage batteries, a figure that
LFP battery prices remained stable, while prices for ternary batteries saw a slight decline. The ESS market maintained strong seasonal demand, with an increase in
The demand for ESS batteries was driven by China''s end-of-year rush to connect energy storage systems to the grid, as well as strong overseas demand for grid-scale

December, as ever, marked the publication of BNEF''s annual lithium-ion battery price survey and this year there were more interesting takeaways. This year''s survey concluded that the volume-weighted average
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 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.
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.
“However, LFP batteries have now reached a performance level sufficient for most EV applications, making their lower cost a key advantage for automakers aiming to mass markets.” Electric vehicle battery sales share by chemistry and region, 2022-2024. Courtesy of IEA. Licence: CC BY 4.0
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.
Battery costs per kWh vary significantly by application. In 2024, PHEV battery packs cost over three times more per kWh than BEV packs due to smaller size and higher power needs. IEA remarks that a typical 20 kWh PHEV battery pack costs roughly the same as a standard 65 kWh BEV pack despite the substantial capacity difference.
