BloombergNEF’s annual battery price survey finds a 14% drop from 2022 to 2023 New York, November 27, 2023 – Following unprecedented price increases in 2022, battery prices are falling again this year. The price of lithium-ion battery packs has dropped 14% to a record low of $139/kWh, according to analysis by research provider BloombergNEF (BNEF).
Global pack prices fell 14 % this year to a record low of $ 139 per kilowatt-hour, according to BNEF. Lithium prices softened, components got cheaper, and massive new battery factories opened up. Demand for batteries grew an astonishing 53 % this year, but even that fell short of some manufacturers’ expectations, which pushed prices down further.
After a brief hiatus, lithium-ion battery prices are back to their regularly scheduled nosedive. Throughout the 2010 s, batteries got cheaper and cheaper, cheering the businesses and climate activists that want to convert vehicles to electric and bolster renewable power plants with flexible energy storage.
And in a late-February report, Goldman Sachs stated that the spot price of lithium carbonate would decline to $34,000 per tonne in the next 12 months, from an average of $53,304 this past year, with a hefty 34-percent year-on-year growth in global lithium supply led by Australia and China as the chief contributing factor.
Lithium prices shined from 2020 through 2022, driven by surging demand for electric vehicles, especially in China, alongside the precious metal’s limited supply. That trend stopped short in 2023, with the lithium price dropping sharply. Falling EV demand and increasing lithium supply are the main factors, but are they short or long term?
