How EV Battery Material Trends Lead to Lower Prices and Increased Energy Density
Electric vehicles represent the future of the automotive industry. Lithium-ion battery packs are the primary energy solution for electric vehicles, including NMC and LFP chemistries. As battery design improves at cell-, module- and pack-level, new trends emerge in material demand for electric vehicle battery packs.
Material demand for lithium-ion battery packs is diverse, including anode, cathode, electrolyte, separator, cell casing, current collectors, pack enclosure, thermal management, fire protection and more. Different cell chemistries require different cathode and anode active materials, while the emergence of cell-to-pack architectures will see a corresponding decrease in material intensity for certain pack materials. IDTechEx analyses the market holistically and identifies key trends.
In this 30-minute webinar from IDTechEx, Technology Analyst Daniel Parr will discuss:
· An introduction to the electric vehicle market across different regions.
· Insights into the advantages and disadvantages of different lithium-ion chemistries.
· Analysis of material price trends and resultant cell chemistry trends.
· Discussion of the emergence of cell-to-pack, thermal management trends and more.
· Market outlook and insight into IDTechEx forecasts for electric vehicle battery materials.
This webinar draws on research from the new market report, "Materials for Electric Vehicle Battery Cells and Packs 2026-2036: Technologies, Markets, Forecasts".
