Do EV OEMs and battery cell manufacturing companies need manufacturing equipment?

EV OEMs and battery cell manufacturing companies will need manufacturing equipment to ramp up production fast and to ensure high factory production performance. Since the majority of announced new gigafactories have planned to start production prior to 2025, companies are making buying decisions about manufacturing equipment supply now.

How much capital does battery manufacturing cost?

In the battery cell manufacturing process, three steps require roughly equal shares of capital expenditures: 35 to 45 percent for electrode-manufacturing equipment, 25 to 35 percent for cell-assembly-and-handling equipment, and 30 to 35 percent for cell-finishing equipment (Exhibit 2).

Why should you use a standardized machine for lithium-ion battery production?

With our standardized machines and systems for the efficient production of lithium-ion battery cells and modules, our customers can plan their production step by step, adapt it to their own needs, optimize their processes, validate them, and expand them modularly. Our services in the battery cell production value chain.

What is lithium-ion battery factory of the future?

With our Lithium-Ion Battery Factory of the Future (LBF) project, we are developing highly efficient machines and processes for the fully automated production of next-generation lithium-ion batteries.

Why is the demand for lithium-ion batteries increasing?

The global demand for production technology for lithium-ion battery cells and modules is continuously increasing and will continue to rise sharply in the coming years, also driven by the expansion of electromobility.

What percentage of battery cells are produced in Europe and North America?

By 2030, Europe and North America are each expected to house approximately 20 percent of global battery cell production. In contrast, both regions combined are forecast to hold anywhere from 5 to 10 percent of global cell component capacity, lagging further behind incumbents in Asia—specifically in separator and electrolyte components (Exhibit 4).
