The nickel manganese cobalt battery market size exceeded USD 30.5 billion in 2024 and is estimated to exhibit 14.8% CAGR between 2025 and 2034 driven by growth in renewable energy sector.
Based on current market observations, battery manufacturers can expect challenges securing supply of several essential battery raw materials by 2030, McKinsey’s report finds. Battery makers use more than 80% of all lithium that is mined today, and that share could grow to 95% by 2030.
The entire value chains of both cobalt and lithium, from mineral exploration to waste management at the global level, are taken into consideration. Further, multiple scenarios for the supply and demand of cobalt and lithium in year 2030 are also collected from various sources to predict the risk for supply distortions with time.
Meanwhile, the supply of manganese is projected to grow moderately through 2030, but an increasing demand for battery-grade material is likely to outpace supply, requiring the development of new refineries.
Although battery chemistry is evolving to reduce cobalt reliance, McKinsey forecasts a 7.5% annual increase in absolute cobalt demand until 2030. This growth highlights issues around sourcing transparency and price volatility, with companies prioritising ethical and sustainable practices in response.
Despite being plentiful, the refinement of high-purity manganese into manganese sulphate monohydrate (HPMSM) for battery usage is complex and demands stringent control to eliminate impurities. McKinsey's production growth projections remain conservative with only a small fraction of demand anticipated to be met by 2030.
Under the base case, only about 20% of the HPMSM (high-purity manganese sulfate monohydrate) supply will meet the requirements of battery applications (30% if all announced projects are realized), which themselves will account for only about 5% of total demand for manganese.
