Report summary

Global sales of electric vehicles hit record numbers in 2021 and this trend will continue over the next few years, in turn pushing up demand for batteries and battery materials. The supply of lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxides (NCM) and lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode materials, which are favoured for use in electric vehicles, is set to accelerate to meet the increased demand, even with the looming risk of low raw material availability in 2022. Prices for precursor and cathode materials got off to a quick start in 2022 and reached a record high in January.
