In the "criticality" studies, the supply risk and its impact on the battery value
Two general approaches are used for risk analysis of trade networks: static risk indicators and dynamic risk transmission. Static indicators focus on the characteristics of countries based on two aspects. Exports and imports, as the simplest widely used metrics, measure risk sources based on the influence of their market size. However, the

Australia and Canada are the two countries with the greatest potential to provide additional and low-risk supply to the EU for almost all battery raw materials. Enhancing circularity along the battery value chains has potential to decrease EU''s supply dependency.
Supply availability and price risks for Lithium, Nickel and the refined salts stem from a potential demand-supply imbalance driven by long lead times Global supply and supply characteristics for battery raw materials [kt LCE/metal eq. p.a.]
As of 2019, the global demand for both lithium and cobalt were matched by supply, but the supply chains for both materials are highly concentrated. The DRC accounts for 69% of cobalt mining...
In the "criticality" studies, the supply risk and its impact on the battery value chain (vulnerability) is quantified by a series of indicators. For instance, the probability of the supply disruption is calculated to quantify the risk of supply by measuring the market concentration via an index such as the Herfindahl–Hirschman (HHI), which rates the oligopoly

Electric vehicles (EV) transition shapes demand for EV batteries and mineral feedstocks. Find out about country risks that could impact the supply chains.
A holistic approach was proposed by constructing a comprehensive lithium supply chain network that spans the entire industry chain, thereby introducing new dimensions for the understanding of risk management in lithium supply chains. Utilizing a unique amalgamation of material flow analysis and complex network theory, we scrutinized the network''s resilience
As the global growth of electric vehicles (EVs) continues, the demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is increasing. In 2021, 9% of car sales was EVs, and the number increases up to 109% from 2020 (Canalys, 2022).After repeated cycles and with charge and discharge over the first five years of usage, LIBs in EVs are severely degraded and, in many cases, no longer

To study the situation and the risks within each step in the supply chain, we
Based on such concept, this study assesses the risks of the lithium-ion battery related materials in the three major stages of the entire supply chain: mining, refining and manufacturing. Results indicate that lithium and cobalt are the most critical materials for lithium-ion battery industry.
With the accelerated pace of energy transition, competition in the lithium-ion battery (LIB) supply chain is intensifying across a wide scope of countries. In order to understand the potential risk derived from the competitors, this study quantifies the global competition intensities of 15 categories of LIB-related commodities, which has not been well characterized by previous
1 BCG analysis Lithium-based energy storage will be one of the key technologies of the 21st century. Lithium batteries will power the majority of vehicles manufactured over the next 50 years and will be essential to military systems, power grids (which are increasingly reliant on variable, renewable energy), and all manner of consumer, medical, and industrial electronics. Certain
This study highlights the assessment of the life cycle of lithium and recognizes
Battery demand is expected to continue ramping up, raising concerns about sustainability and demand for critical minerals as production increases. This report analyses the emissions related to batteries throughout the supply chain and over the full battery lifetime and highlights priorities for reducing emissions. Life cycle analysis of
In the rapidly expanding global electric vehicle lithium-ion battery supply chain network (EV LIB SCN), intricate intercontinental and interrelated connections render it susceptible to geopolitical disturbances.
To study the situation and the risks within each step in the supply chain, we believe that a broad-dimensional material flow analysis, combined with appropriate data analysis, is a very suitable method.
There has been continued growth in lithium-ion battery-powered electric vehicles. This puts new pressure on the supply of materials used in these products. We present an analysis of supply chain issues for lithium, manganese, cobalt, nickel, and natural graphite focused first on their potential supply concerns and then the scaled demand for these
Sustained growth in lithium-ion battery (LIB) demand within the transportation sector (and the electricity sector) motivates detailed investigations of whether future raw materials supply will reconcile with resulting material requirements for these batteries. We track the metal content associated with compounds used in LIBs. We find that most
This study highlights the assessment of the life cycle of lithium and recognizes potential supply and demand challenges along the supply chain of the material. In addition, the study delves into the industry''s standing of alternatives to the material that are suitable to ensure sustained availability for long-term use in the aerospace industry
The risks of the supply chain of lithium-ion battery material are assessed. Lithium and cobalt are the most critical materials for lithium-ion battery industry currently. Risks in the downstream stages of nickel and manganese should not be neglected. Further analysis calls for comprehensive database establishment.
The 5-year material flow analysis results also show that the growth rate of the demand side of the global power lithium-ion battery is much higher than the growth rate of the supply side, and it is very likely that there will be a crisis of short supply in the foreseeable future.
In recent years, the mutual adjustment and mutual influence between the supply and demand of power lithium-ion batteries have gradually narrowed the gap between supply and demand. It is also worth noting that from the perspective of the loss in material flow, the power lithium-ion battery of stock in EVs has a decreasing trend.
It is also expected that the development pattern of the power lithium-ion battery industry will undergo more remarkable changes in the future. The high concentration of each process in the power lithium-ion battery supply chain will significantly increase the supply risk.
There are three aspects of power lithium-ion battery supply and demand: raw material supply, battery production and installation, and market demand, and all three are highly concentrated; the core countries in each link are different. This segmentation puts the development and supply of the entire industry at significant risk.
The key conclusions of this perspective have shown that the supply of most materials contained within lithium-ion batteries will likely meet the demand for the near future. However, there are potential risks associated with the supply of cobalt.
