By 2030, demand for nickel in EV batteries is projected to rise to 18%, up from 8% in 2022, potentially reaching between 0.53 million and 1.09 million tonnes, depending on battery
Learn MoreAt the heart of this innovation is nickel, a critical material in many EV battery chemistries. Nickel is used in various formulations of lithium-ion batteries, helping to enhance energy density, and therefore improving vehicle range.
As of 2023, global nickel production reached 3.6 million tonnes, with Indonesia and the Philippines supplying nearly 60% of the world's nickel. By 2030, demand for nickel in EV batteries is projected to rise to 18%, up from 8% in 2022, potentially reaching between 0.53 million and 1.09 million tonnes, depending on battery technology scenarios.
Projections suggest that demand for battery-grade nickel will grow by 27% year-on-year in 2024, highlighting its critical role in the EV revolution. According to the Benchmark Nickel Forecast, batteries will drive over 50% of nickel demand growth by 2030, with consumption expected to reach 1.5 million tons by the decade's end.
This variant has higher nickel content and unique features like better energy storage and vehicle range. Thus, as EV adoption rises, nickel demand is expected to soar. The global nickel demand for EV batteries will reach 1.4 million metric tons (Mt) by 2030 and 2.2 Mt by 2040.
As a result, nickel-rich batteries accounted for over half of the EV battery market in 2023, even as newer alternatives like Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) gained traction. Class I nickel, essential for EV batteries, accounts for only about 30% of total nickel production.
The ability of nickel production to keep pace with EV battery demand will be critical to avoiding supply bottlenecks that could hinder EV growth. Beyond EVs, nickel's importance extends to other applications like battery energy storage systems (BESS).
