Supply Chain Vulnerabilities and Geopolitical Tensions to Challenge Market Growth

The global battery market is highly dependent on China. For lithium-ion batteries, despite holding just 7% of lithium reserves, around 80% of global lithium processing takes place in China. Similarly, for silicon anode lithium-ion batteries, about 70% of global silicon production takes place in China. Such concentration of supply network to a single country creates supply chain vulnerabilities.

Geopolitical tensions, trade restrictions, and regulatory uncertainties between China and other key markets poses significant risks for battery manufacturers. Disruptions in supply, fluctuating raw material costs, and policy changes could further hinder market growth and delay the commercialization of silicon anode technology.

High Demand Outpacing Manufacturing Capacities to Present Opportunities for Facility Expansions

Silicon anode batteries due to their various benefits over traditional batteries have significant demand from end users. Demand for Si-anode batteries is set to eventually outpace the current manufacturing capacities.

With annual demand for lithium-ion batteries set to reach about 4,700 GWh by 2030, companies operating at kWh production capacity can scale up to MWh, or even to GWh capacity. It will be required to meet the diverse demand for silicon batteries. For instance,

• In 2023, Amprius Technologies Inc. extended its next generation silicon anode-based lithium-ion battery facility by 10 times from kWh to MWh scale. This expansion will likely serve to fulfill the backlog of orders. At the same time, it is anticipated to help attract new customers for its product.

More companies are projected to scale up production to fill the gap between demand and supply, thereby ensuring a steady supply of high-performance batteries to cater to industry requirements.
