Prices of key battery metals – especially lithium – have fallen dramatically since January, due to significant growth in production capacity across all parts of the battery value chain, from raw materials and components to battery cells and packs. Demand expectations also played a role.
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.
The main contributor to falling battery prices historically has been technological innovation. This hasn't been the case in 2023. This year, the drop in battery prices is primarily attributed to lower raw material costs.
Average pack prices for fully electric passenger vehicles were US$128 per kWh. Battery prices across sectors have converged in recent years, which is an indication of the industry's maturation and growth. Price differences across sectors can be attributed to differences in maturity and order volumes, but also cell and pack design requirements.
Battery prices are resuming a long-term trend of decline, following an unprecedented increase last year. According to BloombergNEF's (BNEF) annual lithium-ion battery price survey, average pack prices fell to US$139 per kilowatt hour (kWh) this year, a 14% drop from US$161 per kWh in 2022.
