Key Industry Development

  • January 2024 – BASF and Stena Recycling competed into a black mass purchase agreement with the goal of setting up a battery recycling value chain for the European electric vehicle battery market.

Further Report Findings

  • Based on type, lithium-ion segment led the largest battery materials market share in 2024. This segment is projected to dominate during the forecast period. Several factors including their high energy density, long lifespan, and broad applicability across industries such as electric vehicles (EVs), consumer electronics, and renewable energy storage are responsible for its dominance.
  • North America held the leading market share in 2024 and stood at USD 21.03 billion. Due to increasing demand for electric vehicles and renewable energy sources, this marks as the most significant development in the region. Demand in materials such as cobalt, lithium, nickel, and graphite is also one of the main reasons for the rising surge.
  • Asia Pacific region is set to experience robust growth during the forecast period, as China is the leading country in terms of production of EVs and batteries. Due to China being the dominant country in the region, in battery manufacturing, the market has experienced significant demand in battery materials.
  • Due to vast mineral resources, Latin America has the significant market growth among the regional growth. Chile, Argentina, and Bolivia holds more than half of the world’s lithium reserves. This region accounts for the supply chain of lithium, a critical material for the production of battery, especially in EVs.
