Battery minerals worldwide

Statistics report on the global battery minerals industry

This report provides facts on the battery minerals industry worldwide. Battery minerals refer to the minerals that are used in rechargeable batteries. They are becoming increasingly crucial for the energy transition, as demonstrated by increasing demand in recent years. Depending on the composition of the battery, they can include lithium, nickel, cobalt, graphite, manganese, alumina, tin, tantalum, vanadium, magnesium, and rare earth minerals. For the purpose of brevity in this report, cobalt, graphite, lithium, and nickel are focused on, and to a lesser extent, manganese and rare earths. This report provides an overview of the reserves, production, consumption, and environmental impact of battery minerals.
