The global market for Lithium-ion batteries is expanding rapidly. We take a closer look at new value chain solutions that can help meet the growing demand.
Value chain depth and concentration of the battery industry vary by country (Exhibit 16). While China has many mature segments, cell suppliers are increasingly announcing capacity expansion in Europe, the United States, and other major markets, to be closer to car manufacturers.
Identifying friendshoring partners—instead of simply supporting onshoring policies—should be a critical part of the U.S. drive to secure the lithium-ion supply chain. These partners will help the country more efficiently acquire the inputs it needs to strengthen its domestic manufacturing capabilities while diversifying away from China’s dominance.
In short, the sectors for which lithium-ion batteries are destined hold tremendous importance. Chief among them are solar panels, emergency power backup systems, EVs, and consumer technology. The lithium-ion battery is becoming a ubiquitous input for several goods critical to the U.S. economy.
In many respects, the current battery industry still acts as a linear value chain in which products are disposed of after use. Circularity, which focuses on reusing or recycling materials, or both, can reduce GHG intensity while creating additional economic value (Exhibit 14).
New battery production sites, raw material refiners, and extraction sites will be needed to fulfill the future battery demand. Additionally, the planned European Battery Directive requires battery manufacturers to meet defined CO 2 -limits and social standards to enter the European market.
