Cathode and precursor: 5 things to look for in 2022
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
For 2022, we forecast LFP cathode demand from the EV sector will keep booming, as cathode chemistries in EV applications will be driven by higher energy density and cost. The most significant risk to our forecast is a shortage of raw materials supply, especially lithium chemicals. Apart from this risk, price rises, battery recycling, the continuous investment in LFP and international EV makers’ involvement in the cathode sector are the key things we will be watching closely in 2022.
Table of contents
- Lithium chemical price rises will pose a risk to the electric vehicle industry
- Progress of LFP projects from new entrants will be worthy of attention
- Cathode and precursor materials prices set to rise
- Sector to attract more investment from electric vehicle makers
- Battery recycling business and precursor and cathode industry to be more closely connected
