For<br \/>\nexample, the price of cobalt has fallen from roughly $70,000 per<br \/>\nmetric ton in 2022 to about $30,000 in 2024.<\/p>\n<p >Similarly, the price for lithium carbonate has fallen from a<br \/>\nhigh of approximately $70,000 per metric ton to well below $15,000<br \/>\nin 2024. This article focuses primarily on two of the most<br \/>\nsought-after Li-ion battery cathode chemistries in the automotive<br \/>\nindustry today \u2014 NCM811 and lithium iron phosphate (LFP)<br \/>\nbatteries.<\/p>\n<h2 >Nickel cobalt manganese cells<\/h2>\n<p >The per kWh price of NCM811 cell is currently the lowest in<br \/>\nGreater China due to the low cost of battery materials, thanks to<br \/>\nhigh localization, and the price difference in the manufacturing<br \/>\ncost of these cells compared to Europe and North America.<\/p>\n<p >However, S&amp;amp;P Global Mobility forecasts a more than 7% drop<br \/>\nin NCM811 cell prices in Europe between 2024 and 2030, falling at a<br \/>\nhigher rate than Greater China. Nevertheless, the global average<br \/>\nprice of NCM811 cell is expected to be marginally higher in the<br \/>\nsecond half of the decade compared with 2024.<\/p>\n<p >&#8220;An upward adjustment in prices is anticipated in the coming<br \/>\nyears, as some suppliers are currently selling their batteries with<br \/>\nminimal to no profit margin, which is financially unsustainable.<br \/>\nAdditionally, another factor that could drive prices higher in the<br \/>\nmedium term is the insufficient upstream battery supply chain<br \/>\nneeded to support the growing regional industries,&#8221; said Hugo Cruz,<br \/>\nsenior analyst, Battery Research at S&amp;amp;P Global Mobility.<\/p>\n<h2 >Lithium iron phosphate cells<\/h2>\n<p >The price of LFP cells is over 20% lower than nickel cobalt<br \/>\nmanganese (NCM) cells. The average price of an LFP cell was just<br \/>\nunder $60\/kWh in 2024.<\/p>\n<p >Currently, Greater China has a near monopoly in LFP cell<br \/>\nmanufacturing, considering the negligible LFP production capacity<br \/>\nin Europe and North America. However, LFP production capacity is<br \/>\npoised to expand, especially in Europe, through this decade.<\/p>\n<p >For example, last month, <a href=\"https:\/\/autotechinsight.ihsmarkit.com\/news\/5279505\/stellantis-catl-to-invest-41-billion-on-jv-for-lithium-iron-phosphate-battery-plant-in-spain\"><br \/>\nCATL announced an agreement with Stellantis<\/a> to invest up to<br \/>\n\u20ac4.1 billion to form a joint venture that will build a large-scale<br \/>\nLFP battery plant in Zaragoza, Spain. The plant is targeted to<br \/>\nstart production by end of 2026. It has also been reported that LG<br \/>\nEnergy Solution is aiming to open an LFP plant in Europe.<\/p>\n<p >The addition of LFP capacities outside of Greater China will<br \/>\nraise the global average price of LFP cells in the midterm, but as<br \/>\nthe manufacturing cost is brought under control through process<br \/>\nimprovements, the global LFP average cell price will gradually fall<br \/>\nbelow the current level. In fact, the difference of prices for LFP<br \/>\ncells in Greater China versus Europe is expected to contract from<br \/>\n42% currently to roughly 29% in 2030.<\/p>\n<h2 >EV battery prices at pack level<\/h2>\n<p >In terms of EV battery pack prices, the target to bring cost<br \/>\nparity between EVs and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles<br \/>\nwas always thought to be $100\/kWh. According to S&amp;amp;P Global<br \/>\nMobility&#39;s battery price model, the price of battery packs has<br \/>\nalready dropped below this mark in some cases.<\/p>\n<p >For example, the price of LFP battery packs manufactured in<br \/>\nGreater China is already considerably below this mark This has<br \/>\nenabled several OEMs in mainland China to price their EVs in<br \/>\nsmaller segments on a par with ICE vehicles.<\/p>\n<p >However, NCM811 prices in most regions are still north of<br \/>\n$100\/kWh mark, despite the fall in cell prices in the last two<br \/>\nyears. Even in Greater China, the cost of an NCM811 battery pack is<br \/>\nabout $103\/kWh.<\/p>\n<h2 >EV battery industry trends<\/h2>\n<p >The price of battery metals will likely increase in the longer<br \/>\nterm; however, due to economy of scale and efficiency gains, the<br \/>\ncost of manufacturing will be lowered. These two effects will<br \/>\nresult in a flat price trend, which is in stark contrast with the<br \/>\nexponential price reduction in the past decade.<\/p>\n<p >We also expect a faster move toward cell-to-pack (CTP) and<br \/>\ncell-to-body (CTB) configurations for batteries as automakers look<br \/>\nto reduce weight and cost of manufacturing. In CTP, cells are<br \/>\ndirectly mounted onto the pack housing, with no modules in between,<br \/>\nreducing the number of components and assembly steps. Mainland<br \/>\nChinese cell makers such as BYD, with its Blade batteries and CATL,<br \/>\nwith its Shenxing and Qilin batteries, have been focusing heavily<br \/>\non CTP LFP batteries. Some European and American automakers are<br \/>\nalso looking at adopting CTP so we may see a few EV models with<br \/>\nthis tech in the next few years.<\/p>\n<p ><em>This article is part of a weekly newsletter series titled<br \/>\nBriefCASE, produced by our AutoTechInsight service and featuring<br \/>\nindustry developments and technology trends in the automotive<br \/>\nsupply chain.
