S&P Global reports that global lithium-ion battery annual production output surpassed 10 billion cells for the first time in 2024, the cause of both the oversupply and cost reductions as a result of scale.
The global battery market is advancing rapidly as demand rises sharply and prices continue to decline. In 2024, as electric car sales rose by 25% to 17 million, annual battery demand surpassed 1 terawatt-hour (TWh) – a historic milestone.
In total, at least 120 to 150 new battery factories will need to be built between now and 2030 globally. In line with the surging demand for Li-ion batteries across industries, we project that revenues along the entire value chain will increase 5-fold, from about $85 billion in 2022 to over $400 billion in 2030 (Exhibit 2).
Global production capacity for battery cells increased by almost 30 per cent in 2024, reaching more than 3 TWh – three times the demand for electric vehicles and battery storage in the same year.
After years of investments, global battery manufacturing capacity reached 3 TWh in 2024, and the next five years could see another tripling of production capacity if all announced projects are built. These trends point to a battery industry entering a new phase of its development.
Nevertheless, growth is expected to be highest globally in the EU and the United States, driven by recent regulatory changes, as well as a general trend toward localization of supply chains. In total, at least 120 to 150 new battery factories will need to be built between now and 2030 globally.
The global market for Lithium-ion batteries is expanding rapidly. We take a closer look at new value chain solutions that can help meet the growing demand.
Cambodia's first and largest battery storage system, a 500MW/1000MWh facility in Pursat, is now operational, using grid-forming technology to stabilize the grid and support renewable energy growth.

(Julia Kochetova/Bloomberg via Getty Images) This audio is created with AI assistance Ukraine's largest private energy company DTEK secured a $72-million loan to build one of the largest battery energy storage complexes in Eastern Europe, the company said on June 3.
The €140 million total investment aims to enhance power grid stability, bolstering Ukraine's energy security and independence. The project will be the biggest operational energy storage portfolio in Eastern Europe at the time of commissioning.
Ukraine's second most profitable bank, state-owned Oschadbank, state-owned Ukrgasbank, and PUMB will provide the funding for the project, which includes six energy storage installations across the country, totaling 200 megawatts to power 600,000 households.
It marked the largest ever private investment in Ukraine's energy sector. Unlike other state-owned energy companies in Ukraine, DTEK hasn't been able to secure funding from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).
Kyiv wants to up this to 27% by 2030. Other similar energy storage systems in Eastern Europe include Lithuanian electricity transmission system operator Litgrid's 200-MW units launched in 2023 and a 55-MW battery energy storage system in Razlog in southwestern Bulgaria that went online in 2024.
Together, they will store up to 400 MWh of electricity – enough to supply two hours of power to 600,000 homes (equivalent to roughly half the households in Kyiv).
Lithium batteries are connected in series when the goal is to increase the nominal voltage rating of one individual lithium battery - by connecting it in series strings with at least one more of the same type and specification - to meet the nominal operating voltage of the system the batteries are being installed to support.
Lithium batteries are connected in series when the goal is to increase the nominal voltage rating of one individual lithium battery - by connecting it in series strings with at least one more of the same type and specification - to meet the nominal operating voltage of the system the batteries are being installed to support.
The series and parallel connection of lithium batteries is a key technology to increase voltage and capacity, but it also contains safety risks. This article will analyze in detail the principles, methods and precautions of series and parallel connection of lithium batteries to help you avoid potential risks and build a battery system correctly.
For example, 4 pieces of 3.7V lithium batteries connected in series can get an output voltage of 14.8V, but the capacity remains unchanged. Series connection is the most common method to make the battery pack reach the required operating voltage. Series connection is the best choice when you need more voltage rather than more capacity.
For instance, LiTime allows for a maximum of four 12V lithium batteries to be connected in series, resulting in a 48-volt system. It's always important to consult the battery manufacturer to ensure that you stay within their recommended limits for series connections.
Specific principles must be followed when charging parallel lithium battery packs: Use a matching charger: The voltage must be suitable for the nominal voltage of the individual batteries. The current setting is reasonable: usually 0.2-0.5C of the total capacity after parallel connection.
Connecting lithium-ion batteries in parallel or in series is not as straightforward as a simple series-parallel connection of circuits. To ensure the safety of both the batteries and the individual handling them, several important factors should be taken into consideration.
Lithium-ion batteries, which contain electronic modules and which are subject to the EMC directive 93/97/EEC, must be certified and must wear the CE marking. Look for more information in Part 3.
EN standards Examples Lithium batteries are designed with high-frequency impedance and electromagnetic interference, due to the rapidly changing current and voltage. Therefore, lithium batteries must comply with the EMC Directive as it could cause significant disturbance to other electrical devices.
Some of the AC adapters that need to be tested include AC adapters for printers, mobile phones and laptops. Lithium batteries are designed with very high-frequency impedance because of fast-changing voltage and current. Lithium batteries are therefore required to attain EMC compliance as they can cause significant harm to devices and gadgets.
EMC testing assesses how a device that contains lithium-ion batteries responds to a high level of electromagnetic interference (EMI), and whether the device itself creates EMI that may cause malfunctions in nearby devices. We offer EMC testing services for battery packs and cordless power tool chargers.
According to the document “QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON THE BATTERIES DIRECTIVE (2006/66/EC) » published by the EU Commission (page 23), the Batteries Directive applies also to battery packs. Lithium-ion batteries, which contain electronic modules and which are subject to the EMC directive 2014/30/EU, must be approved and must wear the CE marking.
Lithium-Ion batteries used in Hybrid and full Electric Vehicles may have Voltage larger than 60V. Therefore the approach of a battery used in an EV should consider the hazard of Electrical Shock which characterize these batteries. The following prevention measures should be taken when approaching a high voltage battery or rescue a victim.
