Global production of battery cells will increase sharply in the coming years, and cathode materials will be newly and further developed. Nevertheless, the market shares of these two technologies are expected to remain high until the end of the decade. This can be attributed to several aspects.
In contrast, the production of battery cells with NMC cathodes accounts for slightly more than a quarter in China. By 2030, Chinese production will account for about a quarter of total global NMC cathode production. In the USA, NMC and NCA cell production dominates.
