BOULDER, Colo., Sept. 5, 2024 ~ Guidehouse Insights, a leading market research firm, has released a new report exploring the growing demand for cathode active materials (CAM) in the electric vehicle (EV) market. The report highlights six key minerals that make up the majority of the CAM market: lithium, nickel, manganese, cobalt, iron, and phosphate.

As the EV market continues to expand globally, with China leading the way in terms of adoption rates, there is a growing focus on decarbonization efforts in the medium and heavy duty vehicle (MHDV) sector. According to Guidehouse Insights' research analyst Jake Foose, this trend is expected to drive significant growth in demand for CAM over the next decade. The report projects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.9%, with demand for these key materials reaching 5.3 million tonnes by 2033.

Foose notes that despite disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the EV market is expected to continue its upward trajectory as infrastructure improves and decarbonization incentives are implemented in various markets. He emphasizes the importance of understanding key inputs in the global battery market, which heavily relies on China and Asia Pacific for its supply.
