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.

In 2022, there were 603 gigawatt hours of demand for lithium-ion batteries, almost double the level of the previous year. Supply chains are struggling to keep up. Lithium-ion battery pack prices vary significantly in different regions.
The materials under investigation are predominantly used in the battery value chain, so that the dynamics are essentially shaped by battery demand and the expansion of production capacities for materials. Their price therefore particularly reflects market factors such as supply and demand fluctuations.
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.
Supply chains are struggling to keep up. Lithium-ion battery pack prices vary significantly in different regions. In China they cost $127 per kWh on average, while in the US and Europe prices are 24 and 33 per cent higher respectively.
