Rise in Development of Cobalt-Free Cathodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries to Boost Market Growth
The development of cobalt-free cathode market for lithium-ion batteries is expected to reduce the automotive industry's dependence on cobalt, which is a scarce and expensive material. This is expected to significantly boost the demand for cobalt-free cathode materials in the automotive industry and drive the global cobalt free cathode market. For instance, a research team at the University of California, Irvine, and four national laboratories has developed a method for creating lithium-ion battery cathodes without the addition of cobalt, which is subject to price instability and geopolitical restrictions. The cobalt-free cathode features an innovative nanostructured material that is composed of non-toxic and environmentally friendly elements, making it a preferable alternative to traditional cobalt-based cathodes. The cobalt-free cathode is also more cost-effective and offers longer-term stability and higher power output, further driving the market for cobalt-free cathodes. Additionally, the growing demand for energy-dense and high-performance lithium-ion batteries in consumer electronics, along with the increasing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), is further expected to fuel the demand for cobalt-free cathode materials as they can help to reduce the cost of EVs and HEVs.
Global Cobalt Free Cathode Market: Regional Overview
The global cobalt free cathode market is segmented into five major regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa region.
Increased Demand for Electric Passenger and Hybrid Vehicles to Drive Market Growth in Asia Pacific
The cobalt free cathode market in the Asia Pacific region is estimated to garner the largest revenue by the end of 2035, as the region is home to some of the largest and most advanced battery manufacturers. These manufacturers have increased their focus on developing cobalt-free cathode batteries, which are more sustainable and cost-effective. Additionally, the increasing sales of passenger vehicles are driven by the rise in disposable incomes and the availability of more affordable vehicles in the region. Additionally, the rise in the number of people living in cities who require personal transportation is another factor boosting the sales of passenger vehicles in the region. There were 3.23 million passenger electric vehicles sold in China in 2021, of which 2.53 million were battery-only electric vehicles (BEVs) and 0.7 million were plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). The number of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles sold in China in 2021 accounted for 2.3% of the country's automobile sales. With the increased demand for electric vehicles, there is a need for longer-lasting, more efficient, and more environmentally friendly batteries. Cobalt-free cathode batteries have been developed to meet this need, as they are more cost-effective and do not require the mining of cobalt, which can be damaging to the environment.
Increasing Portable Consumer Electronics Sales to Drive Market Growth in North America
The cobalt free cathode market in the North America region is estimated to garner the highest CAGR by the end of 2035 owing to the increasing demand for renewable energy sources such as electric vehicles and portable electronic devices such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets, which use cobalt-free cathode materials. For instance, consumer electronics sales were expected to reach approximately 500 billion U.S. dollars by 2022 in the United States. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2022, the number of PCs shipped in the United States surpassed 17 million. Lithium-ion batteries are lightweight, powerful, and rechargeable, making them the perfect choice for portable electronics like cell phones and laptops as they are smaller in size, have a higher energy density, and have a longer life cycle. They are also environmentally friendly, making them an increasingly popular choice for consumers. The increasing demand for these batteries has driven the need for efficient and safe alternatives to traditional cobalt cathode materials, thus driving the growth of the cobalt free cathode market in the region. Furthermore, the regional governments are encouraging the use of cobalt-free cathodes, owing to the environmental and health-related hazards associated with cobalt. This is expected to create immense opportunities for the cobalt free cathode market in the region.
