Global Cathode Materials Market: Focus on Type (NCM, LCO, LMO, NCA, and LFP), End-User (Automotive, Consumer Electronics, Power Tools, and Energy Storage Systems), & Value Chain - Analysis & Forecast (2018-2023)
Report Highlights
The cathode materials are made up of cobalt, nickel, and manganese in the crystal structure. This crystal structure forms a multi-metal oxide material to which lithium is added. Originally, the primary active component of the cathode was cobalt. Today, cobalt is frequently substituted partially with nickel (NCM, NCA). The most prominent cathode chemistries are Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NCM), Nickel Cobalt Aluminum (NCA), Lithium Cobalt Oxide (LCO), Lithium Manganese Oxide (LMO), and Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP). Cathode materials are widely used in lithium-ion batteries for use in the automotive industry, energy storage systems, power tools, and consumer electronics. The cathode materials market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.0% and 16.3% between 2018 and 2023 in terms of value and volume respectively.
