The global economic slowdown due to the Covid19 pandemic, for example, may have led to the expectation of decreasing demand for battery raw materials. As a result, prices fell in 2019 and the beginning of 2020.
The largest single contributor to the cost of battery cells is the materials used in them, especially the cathode materials. In addition to lithium, the transition metals manganese, iron, cobalt and nickel are used in particular.
And so more and more of the technological innovations introduced into the battery are aimed at reducing costs, even if at the same time features such as vehicle range tend to deteriorate. The largest single contributor to the cost of battery cells is the materials used in them, especially the cathode materials.
If the spot nickel price of $42,995 on March 7 translates directly into battery prices, the cathode will rise by 26 per cent and the price of the whole battery by 6 per cent.

Excess EV production capacity, a buildup of inventory and destocking by cathode producers resulted in thin demand for battery materials. This coupled with upstream expansions and market oversupply led to a notable softening of battery raw material prices in 2023. So, what does this year ahead have in store? EV growth to slow further in 2024
Prices for key battery raw materials have been subject to enormous fluctuations over the past two years, putting an end, at least temporarily, to the trend of falling battery cell costs.
