Dublin, Aug. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "Global Secondary Battery Materials Market 2026-2037" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global secondary battery materials market is entering a period of sustained expansion, driven by electric vehicle production, stationary energy storage deployment and continued demand from consumer electronics. As lithium-ion battery manufacturing capacity increases from approximately one terawatt-hour to several times that level by 2037, demand for cathode materials, anode materials, electrolytes, separators, conductive additives, binders, current collectors and battery pack components is expected to rise substantially.
Market growth will vary significantly by battery chemistry, cell design, pack architecture and manufacturing process. Cathode active materials remain the largest value segment, with market performance influenced by lithium, nickel, cobalt and manganese prices. Lithium iron phosphate (LFP), nickel manganese cobalt (NMC), nickel cobalt aluminium (NCA) and lithium manganese iron phosphate (LMFP) chemistries will shape material demand throughout the forecast period.
Graphite will continue to dominate anode demand, while silicon-based anode materials, including silicon oxide, nano-silicon and silicon-carbon composites, are positioned for faster percentage growth. Other specification-critical materials, including carbon nanotubes, lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide salts and engineered separators, are also expected to command premium pricing and attract investment.
Battery architecture is creating additional shifts across the value chain. Cell-to-pack, cell-to-body and cell-to-chassis designs are reducing conventional module content while increasing demand for advanced structural materials. Aluminium, high-strength steel and composites are becoming more important as manufacturers pursue lower weight, improved safety and greater pack-level efficiency.
Dry-electrode and solvent-free battery manufacturing could further reshape the market by changing requirements for binders and conductive additives. Wider adoption may support increased demand for polytetrafluoroethylene and carbon nanotubes while challenging established materials such as polyvinylidene fluoride and carbon black.
China maintains a highly concentrated position across most battery material segments. New capacity in North America, Europe, South Korea and Japan is being supported by localisation initiatives and industrial policies, including the US Inflation Reduction Act, Section 45X and the EU Critical Raw Materials Act. Supply security, regional production economics, critical-mineral availability and technology development will remain central competitive factors through 2037.
Sodium-ion batteries present a substitution risk in cost-sensitive stationary storage and entry-level electric vehicles, while solid-state batteries could influence longer-term material requirements. Recycling and critical-material recovery are also expected to provide an increasingly important source of secondary supply.
