Global Electric Vehicle Lithium-Ion Battery Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

Global Electric Vehicle Lithium-Ion Battery Market Outlook

The global electric vehicle lithium-ion battery market size was approximately USD 45.23 billion in 2024. The market is assessed to grow at a CAGR of 22.7% between 2025 and 2034, reaching a value of USD 290.95 billion by 2034.

Key Takeaways

• In 2022, demand for automotive lithium-ion batteries surged to 550 GWh, a 65% increase from the previous year's 330 GWh. This was driven by a 55% rise in new registrations of electric passenger cars.

• In the year 2022, electric vehicle batteries accounted for approximately 60% of lithium demand, 30% of cobalt demand, and 10% of nickel demand.

• The demand for sustainable solutions has driven sales of electric vehicles with efficient lithium-ion batteries.

Recent discoveries of lithium reserves in the USA and India favour the market, helping meet the rising demand for EV batteries. Though lithium mining from clay and hard rock is a challenging process, it is expected to reduce the prices of batteries as lithium processing and refining plants grow in number.

Electric vehicles with a battery capacity of less than 100kWh permit people to travel long distances without suffering from range anxiety. This makes them considerably popular as they reduce the need for regular charging and are extremely suitable for use by city commuters and urban settlers. Hyundai Kona Electric, Tesla Model Y, Lucid Air Pure and Touring, Tesla Model 3, and Hyundai Ioniq 6, are among the latest electric vehicle models with a battery capacity of less than 100kWh that is gaining momentum on the roads of urban cities across the world.

According to the electric vehicle lithium-ion battery market analysis, the Asia Pacific is expected to account for a significant share of the market. In China, lithium mining and refining is done on a large scale to make electric vehicle batteries, making up as much as 70% of the global lithium-ion battery production. South Korea, Japan, and Australia also rank among the top ten countries for producing lithium-ion batteries, contributing nearly 5% to the globe’s production. This makes the Asia Pacific an important centre for lithium-ion battery production.

Europe produces 9% of the total lithium-ion batteries in the world and is another important contributor to the electric vehicle lithium-ion battery market growth. The region is witnessing a surge in adoption of electric mobility and increasing vehicle electrification in order to achieve its net zero emission targets. Most of its production facilities for lithium-ion batteries are concentrated in Hungary, Poland, Germany, Sweden, and the UK.
