While ex-China cathode active material (CAM) supply is forecast to grow 122% by 2040, according to Benchmark analysis, this growth will not be enough to meet demand. Demand for batteries outside of China is forecast to grow 404% from 2026 to 2040, reaching 5.4TWh, whilst cell production is set to grow from 451GWh to 1.3TWh.
