1 天前· But have you ever wondered why are lithium batteries so expensive? The answer lies in the complex process of manufacturing these high-performance powerhouses. From the extraction of lithium, cobalt, and other raw materials to the intricate assembly and stringent quality control, every step adds to the cost. However, understanding the factors that drive up the price can
The price of battery-grade lithium carbonate has experienced a significant crash due to an oversupplied market in Asia and a slowdown in the global adoption rate of electric vehicles.
Lithium prices in China — the world''s largest producer of the key electric vehicle battery metal — are set to tank in 2024 with global miners poised to bump up supplies. Prices of lithium carbonate in China could fall by more than 30% from the current level next year,
That''s why Chinese companies such as CATL have all but monopolized the market on another chemistry, lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. These batteries are cheaper, as they have no cobalt. They have other benefits too: a longer usable life and less risk of fire than traditional lithium battery chemistries.

The average price of SMM electrolyte (for use in LFP) was 119,000 yuan/mt as of December 1, up 81,000 yuan/mt or 213.16% from the beginning of the year. On the raw material side, the prices of lithium hexafluorophosphate gradually stabilised. The current mainstream quotations stand at 540,000-560,000 yuan/mt, and prices of EC and VC have also

Lithium prices in China are projected to range between Yuan 80,000-90,000/mt ($11,022-$12,799), while prices in North Asia are likely to remain soft due to a seasonal summer lull and ample supply. A potential turnaround may occur in the latter half of Q3, a peak season for lithium demand.
As a consequence of China''s largely government-driven push to go electric, the domestic price of lithium carbonate, a lithium salt used by battery-makers, exceeded 170,000 yuan ($27,000) per metric ton at the end of 2017, up from 50,000 yuan to 60,000 yuan per ton in 2015, according to Chinese commodity information provider 100PPI.
The spot price of lithium carbonate hit a more than two-year low of 115,500 yuan ($16,185.54) per metric ton this week, and is likely to drop to as low as 80,000 yuan next year as global...

Rare discounts offered by Chinese battery giant CATL to automakers have accelerated a plunge in lithium prices, and the market is set to drop a further 25% with supply growth outpacing demand,...
Since the start of 2023, the cost of lithium carbonate has dropped back to previous levels. On Aug. 24, the spot price of domestic battery-grade lithium was 220,000 yuan a ton, down 22.8% on the previous month and a 62.7% decrease from the peak of 591,000 yuan a ton in November.

"From 2011 to 2020, lithium battery prices dropped by nearly 85%, from 3,800 yuan/kWh to 578 yuan/kWh. Starting in 2021, due to the significant increase in raw material prices such as lithium carbonate, the average price of lithium batteries rose to a peak of 1.2 yuan/Wh in 2022. Since 2023, with the decline in raw material prices such as
But a combination of key market factors has led to a major turnaround in the trajectory of the benchmark price of lithium carbonate, which is used to produce the lithium hydroxide contained in electric-vehicle (EV) batteries. Prices have collapsed from all-time highs reached in mid-November 2022 of CNY 597,500 per tonne to CNY 319,500 per tonne

Lithium prices in China — the world''s largest producer of the key electric vehicle battery metal — are set to tank in 2024 with global miners poised to bump up supplies. Prices of lithium carbonate in China could fall by more than 30%
China''s lithium industry would benefit from a stabilisation of prices of the battery metal, which is set for a long-term uptrend, said the chairman of Ganfeng Lithium, a major Chinese supplier of
Even so, Chinese lithium prices still remain at eight times the level of two years ago and have significantly further to fall before they get close to the cost of production at even the most expensive mines.
Prices outside China tend to follow a similar trend. Benchmark lithium carbonate prices to China, Japan and South Korea of $18.50 per kg on Thursday, down 77% from a peak of $81 per kg in November 2022. The price plunge will hit high-cost lithium producers, but offer some support to a slowing EV sector.
China produces about 70% of the world’s batteries and over half of its EVs. The spot price of lithium carbonate hit a more than two-year low of 115,500 yuan ($16,185.54) per metric ton this week. It is likely to drop to as low as 80,000 yuan next year as global supply continues to rise, four China-based analysts said.
Prices of the chemical used in batteries in China, also the world's largest producer, have already tumbled 77% this year after Beijing slashed subsidies for electric vehicles from January, dragging down lithium ore prices and hurting global miners' profit margins.
Lithium production in China will also jump 40% in the next two years, said UBS, driven by a major CATL project in southern Jiangxi province. The supply surge will result in a global lithium surplus of 12%, up from 4% this year, according to CITIC Futures.
