We forecast that the future for nickel use in batteries is bright. This growth is driven by increasing EV sales, particularly in China, enlarging battery size and raising nickel intensities. CRU believes that the share of NCA and NCM in in battery cathode will grow to 84% by 2030.
Batteries will represent 23.7% of the nickel demand by 2030 and 33% by 2040. The growth in nickel demand in the long-term is dependent on increasing market share of electric vehicles in the transport sector using nickel-intensive batteries. We forecast around two thirds of nickel demand growth out to 2040 will come from the battery sector.
Battery production is consuming increasing volumes of nickel, which explains the tripling of the share of nickel consumed for battery production in 2020 compared to 2015. The consumption volume of nickel for battery production amounted to 450,000 metric tons in 2022. Get notified via email when this statistic is updated.
