Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

The lithium ion battery market is estimated to grow from $37.4 billion in 2018 to $92.2 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 16.2% between 2018 and 2024. The growth of the lithium ion battery market is driven by increase in demand for plug-in vehicles, growing need for automation and battery-operated material-handling equipment in industries, growing demand for smart devices and other industrial goods, and high requirement of lithium-ion batteries for various industrial applications. However, factors such as safety issues related to storage and transportation of spent batteries hinder the market growth.

High energy density boosts the demand for lithium nickel manganese oxide (Li-NMC) witnessing the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The market for lithium nickel manganese oxide (Li-NMC) is estimated to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period.The automotive industry has dominated the lithium ion battery market.

Electric vehicles require high capacity and high power that can only be provided by the use of NMC battery type. The use of new electrolytes and additives support the charging of cell up to 4.4 V/cell. The NMC cell is growing in its range as three components involved are easy to blend together and be made useful for a wide range of applications from the automotive industry to energy storage system (ESS).

Rise in demand for EVs contributing to the growth of the automotive industry with the highest CAGR during the forecast period
