Cobalt demand from EV industry is expected to keep growing, although there is some headwinds for EVs sales in some regions. The demand from consumer electronics is recovering as well. Technology development in the battery industry has a huge impact on the demand of different battery metals, including cobalt.

The demand from consumer electronics is recovering as well. Technology development in the battery industry has a huge impact on the demand of different battery metals, including cobalt. Cobalt, as a by-product from nickel or copper producers, is deeply affected by copper and nickel prices.
The prospective cobalt demand for B-PEV and B-EB was determined by the cobalt intensity, battery cathode material market shares, average battery capacity per vehicle, and battery demand for EVs. The cobalt demand for B-ESS was affected by cobalt intensity, battery cathode material market shares, and future assumed ESS demand.
Based on the scenario set for the key parameters, we selected and presented seven scenarios (as shown in Table 2) to reveal the impact of various technologies (e.g., battery cathode technology, battery lifetime, and recycling technology) on cobalt demand and supply.
We show that cobalt-free batteries and recycling progress can indeed significantly alleviate long-term cobalt supply risks. However, the cobalt supply shortage appears inevitable in the short- to medium-term (during 2028-2033), even under the most technologically optimistic scenario.
