Battery raw materials like lithium carbonate (Li 2 CO 3), lithium hydroxide (LiOH), nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) have experienced significant price fluctuations over the past five years. Figures 1 and 2 show the development of material spot prices between 2018 and 2023.
Fastmarkets’ battery raw materials products give market participants and investors the transparency and clarity to make critical and strategic business decisions. Trade on market-reflective prices Validate your price, supply and demand forecasts for 1-2 years in the future Access critical long-term forecasts for the next 10-15 years
The Fastmarkets Battery Cost Index is an easy-to-use cost model for total cell costs, including cost breakdown of active anode material (AAM), cathode active material (CAM), separator, electrolyte, other materials, energy, labor and operational costs across multiple chemistries and geographies.
The largest single contributor to the cost of battery cells is the materials used in them, especially the cathode materials. In addition to lithium, the transition metals manganese, iron, cobalt and nickel are used in particular.
Our customers get access to in-depth price data and short- and long-term forecasting and analysis for the following raw materials: Lithium and spodumene Cobalt Black mass Manganese Graphite Nickel And more commodities used in the production of EVs and batteries, including rare earths, aluminium, copper and steel
