The prices of the raw materials used in lithium-ion batteries, such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel, significantly impact the battery''s overall cost. In 2022, turmoil in battery metal markets led to a 7% increase in the price of lithium-ion battery packs compared to 2021.
Lithium battery prices decline in 2024. Trend could further depress prices received for the materials harvested by battery recyclers. Lower battery prices are unlikely to be welcomed by companies that have invested to recover black mass, precathode active materials (pCAM) and other critical minerals within them..

Moreover, the price of battery-grade graphite, which is used as the anode material in NCM batteries, increased to $8,000–13,000/ton. If supply constrains continue
Two materials currently dominate the choice of cathode active materials for lithium-ion batteries: lithium iron phosphate (LFP), which is relatively inexpensive, and nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) or nickel-cobalt-alumina (NCA), which are convincing on the market due to their higher energy density, i.e. their ability to store electrical energy.
