Cathode and precursor: 5 things to look for in 2022

Predictions for the year ahead

1 minute read

What's inside this year's report?

Looking back, 2021 was an exciting year characterised by far more than expected demand growth from the electric vehicle (EV) sector, but also a worrying year with a looming raw materials shortage. We also saw a significant boom in use of LFP in EV applications, and considerable LFP cathode investment from the beginning of 2021.

A few new cathode and precursor projects were announced in countries outside Asia, driven by governments’ local supply chain ambitions, decarbonisation goals and value chain extension.

Read Cathode and precursor: 5 things to look for in 2022 for our take on themes including:

  1. Lithium chemical price rises pose a risk to the electric vehicle industry
  2. Progress of LFP projects from new entrants will be worthy of attention
  3. Cathode and precursor materials prices set to rise
  4. Sector to attract more investment from electric vehicle makers
  5. Battery recycling business and precursor and cathode industry to be more closely connected
