China will continue to be the major supplier of battery-grade raw materials over 2030, even though global supply of these materials will be increasingly diversified. Possible supply shortages will remain.
The demand for raw materials for lithium-ion battery (LIB) manufacturing is projected to increase substantially, driven by the large-scale adoption of electric vehicles (EVs).
The global demand for raw materials for batteries such as nickel, graphite and lithium is projected to increase in 2040 by 20, 19 and 14 times, respectively, compared to 2020. China will continue to be the major supplier of battery-grade raw materials over 2030, even though global supply of these materials will be increasingly diversified.
Many lithium mines, led by Chinese operators, are maintaining production of the raw material needed for electric vehicle (EV) batteries, in defiance of prices weak enough to trigger mass output cuts - providing a boon for battery makers.
This paper identifies available strategies to decarbonize the supply chain of battery-grade lithium hydroxide, cobalt sulfate, nickel sulfate, natural graphite, and synthetic graphite, assessing their mitigation potential and highlighting techno-economic challenges.
Source: JRC analysis. The supply 1 of each processed raw material and components for batteries is currently controlled by an oligopoly industry, which is highly concentrated in China. Although China is expected to continue holding a dominant position, geographic diversification will increase on the supply side, mostly for refined lithium.
