Prices for lithium, nickel and cobalt sharply decreased in 2023 and are expected to decline further in 2024. The drop has further decreased the cost of lithium-iron-phosphate batteries for electric-vehicle makers. Source: Witthaya Prasongsin/Moment via Getty Images.
A broad drop in battery metal prices decreased the overall cost of the average battery pack by about 30% year over year in 2023, Commodity Insights analysts said in a January report. Decreased lithium prices have had much more of an impact on LFP batteries.
Lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries rely on lithium more, and thus stand to benefit from an overabundance of the silvery metal that developed over the past year.
Decreased lithium prices have had much more of an impact on LFP batteries. Lithium carbonate comprised 89.4% of total raw material costs for LFP cathodes and lithium hydroxide made up 62.9% of raw material costs for NMC-811 cathodes in 2023, according to Commodity Insights data.
However, LFP batteries appear to be taking a lead that could accelerate if lithium prices stay low. NMC batteries' market share in the automotive industry is expected to decline to 42% in 2030 from 51% in 2022, Commodity Insights forecasts show.
