Courtesy of NREL. After more than a decade of declines, volume-weighted average prices for lithium-ion battery packs across all sectors have increased to $151/kWh in 2022, a 7 percent rise from last year in real terms. The upward cost pressure on batteries outpaced the higher adoption of lower cost chemistries like lithium iron phosphate (LFP).
Lithium (Li)-metal batteries are one of the most promising candidates for the next-generation energy storage devices due to their ultrahigh theoretical capacity. Realistic development of a Li metal battery is impeded by the uncontrollable dendrite proliferation upon the chemically active [parts]. Lithium batteries are a potential solution for the future of energy storage.
The Lithium-ion Stationary Battery Storage Market was valued at USD 33 billion in 2021 and is projected to expand at over 21% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2022 to 2032. The market size is expected to grow due to the rising emphasis on mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.
BloombergNEF (BNEF) has noticed that raw material and battery component prices have been rising steadily since it began tracking the market in 2010, aided by soaring inflation, and this has now led to the first ever increase in lithium-ion battery pack prices over that time period. Courtesy of NREL.
Overall, the price drop for lithium-ion battery cells in 2024 was greater compared with that seen in battery metal prices, indicating that margins for battery manufacturers were being squeezed. Therefore, suppliers are expected to push for price increases to mitigate losses with global demand for EVs and energy storage expected to grow in 2025.
After tumbling to record low in 2024 on the back of lower metal costs and increased scale, lithium-ion battery prices are expected to enter a period of stabilization. The rapid decrease in lithium ion battery prices seen in previous years is likely to be slowed down in 2025 due to an uptick in battery material costs.
