Current Access Level "I" an information provider on the lithium-ion battery supply chain, estimates a 300,000 tLCE supply deficit by 2030 in its business-as-usual demand scenario. Albemarle, one of the largest lithium producers, estimates a 500,000 tLCE deficit by then. [6] Deutsche Bank sees an even greater shortage of 768,000 tLCE by 2030. [7]
As the global growth of electric vehicles (EVs) continues, the demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is increasing. In 2021, 9% of car sales was EVs, and the number increases up to 109% from 2020 (Canalys, 2022).After repeated cycles and with charge and discharge over the first five years of usage, LIBs in EVs are severely degraded and, in many cases, no longer

Further increasing the sustainability of battery supply chains, such as through recycling, can further enhance these benefits and reduce the need for primary critical minerals supply. Governments and industry are already taking steps towards improving battery sustainability and circularity, but further and more widespread efforts will be needed as the
Existing advancements such as direct lithium extraction, which uses a modified process that can yield up to 90% of the high-value mineral versus 50% to 60% from the traditional solar evaporation method, present a
The global demand for raw materials for batteries such as nickel, graphite and lithium is projected to increase in 2040 by 20, 19 and 14 times, respectively, compared to 2020. China will continue to be the major supplier of battery-grade raw materials over 2030, even though global supply of these materials will be increasingly diversified.
The situation is likely to create an imbalance due to the low supply of raw materials needed for lithium battery production, coupled with the high demand for lithium batteries in the evolving new energy industry. Furthermore, the extensive range of applications for LFPBs has resulted in a diverse array of LFPBs available on the market. This diversity complicates the implementation

But a 2022 analysis by the McKinsey Battery Insights team projects that the entire lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery chain, from mining through recycling, could grow by over 30 percent annually from 2022 to 2030, when it would reach a value of more than $400 billion and a market size of 4.7 TWh. 1.
In the short term, the greatest obstacles to continued strong EV sales are soaring prices for some critical minerals essential for battery manufacturing, as well as supply chain disruptions caused by Russia''s attack

Battery demand for lithium stood at around 140 kt in 2023, 85% of total lithium demand and up more than 30% compared to 2022; for cobalt, demand for batteries was up 15% at 150 kt, 70% of the total. To a lesser extent, battery demand growth contributes to increasing total demand for nickel, accounting for over 10% of total nickel demand.

In the short to medium-term, deficits are expected for lithium in 2022-2023, whereas the global supply/demand market balance will be tight for nickel (by 2029), graphite (by 2024) and manganese (by 2025). By 2025, the EU domestic production of battery cells is expected to cover EU’s consumption needs for electric vehicles and energy storage.
In this work, we suggest there is an important gap in the existing literature given a lack of analysis of the vulnerabilities in the global flow of multiple battery materials between countries as sources of both supply and demand across stages of the supply chain, particularly in terms of physical quantities of materials.
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are currently the leading energy storage systems in BEVs and are projected to grow significantly in the foreseeable future. They are composed of a cathode, usually containing a mix of lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese; an anode, made of graphite; and an electrolyte, comprised of lithium salts.
The supply chains for the critical minerals in these batteries differ in terms of the geography of raw material production (Fig. 1), although a few countries produce the majority of supply for each critical mineral.
