Battery nickel demand set to triple by 2030
Excerpt:
”The current bearishness permeating the nickel market belies the fact that battery nickel demand is undergoing a period of rapid growth.”
”While softer-than-expected demand and massive supply-side expansions have helped drag nickel prices to their lowest level since 2020, battery nickel demand is set to record strong growth of 27% year-on-year in 2024.”
”And long term demand prospects remain bullish: Benchmark projections indicate that nickel-based chemistries will capture 85% battery cell production capacity outside of China by 2030, with production increasingly pivoting towards high-nickel chemistry longer-term”
”According to the Benchmark Nickel Forecast, batteries are projected to account for over 50% of nickel demand growth by 2030, reaching 1.5 million tonnes of nickel demand by the end of the decade.”
