What are the key drivers behind the rapid expansion of the cathode materials market?
The growing usage of batteries in electric vehicles is expected to propel the growth of the cathode materials market going forward. Electric vehicles refer to vehicles that are either partially or fully run on electricity. Cathode materials are used in Li-ion batteries in electric vehicles to generate electricity through chemical reactions. For instance, in 2024, according to the Virta Global, a Finland-based company specializing in electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions, in 2023 nearly 14 million electric cars were sold, marking a 35% increase from the previous year. This surge contributed to a global electric vehicle fleet that reached 40 million. The growth reflects a strong trend towards electric mobility. Therefore, increasing usage of electric vehicles is driving the cathode materials market growth.
