Demand1 for battery raw materials is expected to increase dramatically over 2040 (Figure 1), following the exponential growth of electric vehicles (EV) and, to a minor degree, energy storage system (ESS) applications. The largest increase2 in the medium (2030) and long term (2040) is anticipated for graphite, lithium.

Mines extract raw materials; for batteries, these raw materials typically contain lithium, cobalt, manganese, nickel, and graphite. The "upstream" portion of the EV battery supply chain, which refers to the extraction of the minerals needed to build batteries, has garnered considerable attention, and for good reason.. Many worry that we won''t extract these minerals
For example, the emergence of post-LIB chemistries, such as sodium-ion batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, or solid-state batteries, may mitigate the demand for lithium and cobalt. 118 Strategies like using smaller vehicles or extending the lifetime of batteries can further contribute to reducing demand for LIB raw materials. 119 Recycling LIBs emerges as a

Policies surrounding the lithium-ion battery (LIB) supply chain lie at the intersection of trade, climate, and national security considerations. The LIB supply chain spans the globe, and yet some critical inputs are only produced in a handful of countries—in particular China, which is dominant at several key stages of the technology''s production. The Biden
An increased supply of lithium will be needed to meet future expected demand growth for lithium-ion batteries for transportation and energy storage. Lithium demand has tripled since 2017 [1] and is set to grow tenfold by 2050 under the International Energy Agency''s (IEA) Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario. [2] Currently, the lithium market is adding demand
Batteries: global demand, supply, and foresight. 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.

Almost 60 percent of today''s lithium is mined for battery-related applications, a figure that could reach 95 percent by 2030 (Exhibit 5). Lithium reserves are well distributed and theoretically sufficient to cover battery demand, but high-grade deposits are mainly limited to Argentina, Australia, Chile, and China. With technological shifts

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.
Lithium-ion batteries may also be found in cell phones, cameras, and tablets, as well as home appliances such as wireless vacuum cleaners; they are present in certain mobility products, such as scooters and hoverboards. The energy density and long lifetime of these batteries ensure that the electronics that rely on them are replaced far less often.
As global demand for lithium-ion batteries continues to increase, actors in the battery industry must navigate this new environment and proactively enhance accountability across their operations and supply chains. --------------------------------
