Lithium-ion Gigafactory Market Trends and Growth Forecast in the Electric Vehicle Revolution 2030
The electric mobility revolution is gaining unprecedented momentum, driving a surge in demand for lithium-ion batteries. Fairfield Market Research, a leading industry analyst, foresees continuous growth in the global lithium-ion Gigafactory market, fueled by substantial investments in electric vehicles (EVs) and the expanding applications of lithium-ion batteries in various industrial and commercial sectors.
Unprecedented Demand for Lithium-ion Batteries
The proliferation of electric mobility is catalyzing the lithium-ion Gigafactory market’s growth. The soaring demand for lithium-ion batteries, driven by the adoption of EVs and their use in various industries, has created a pressing need for production facilities capable of mass battery production. Traditional battery manufacturing facilities are unable to meet this skyrocketing demand, making Gigafactories a necessity. These mega-factories support large-scale lithium-ion battery production, battery pack development, and EV assembly, all under one roof, setting the stage for the rapid expansion of the lithium-ion Gigafactory market.
Cost Savings and Sustainability
One of the key advantages of lithium-ion Gigafactories is the ability to conduct in-house EV assembly and lithium-ion battery pack development. This integration reduces overall EV manufacturing costs, making electric vehicles significantly more affordable. Industry leader Tesla Inc. has exemplified this approach by developing Gigafactories powered entirely by renewable energy sources, setting an inspiring precedent for others to follow suit. Many lithium battery manufacturers are now investing in Tesla’s Gigafactories, recognizing them as a potential solution for cost optimization in the EV industry.
Navigating Challenges: COVID-19 Impact
While the future looks promising, the lithium-ion Gigafactory market has faced recent challenges, including supply chain disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, high capital and operating expenses (CAPEX and OPEX), and the escalating costs of raw materials like lithium and cobalt. With more than 90% of global lithium production concentrated in Australia, Chile, and Argentina, the industry remains highly dependent on these countries. The pandemic led to factory closures and reduced production capacity, with Tesla, for example, temporarily reducing its staff at the Nevada Gigafactory.
Asia Pacific Takes the Lead
Asia Pacific emerged as the dominant force in the lithium-ion Gigafactory market in 2019, driven by the establishment of high-capacity Gigafactories in China. With additional projects planned in India and other Asian nations, the region is expected to continue driving demand for Gigafactories well into 2030. Of the 70 Gigafactory projects announced in 2020 worldwide, over 40 were based in China. In contrast, Europe’s lack of a cohesive industrial strategy to attract large-scale battery manufacturing hampers the expansion of the lithium-ion Gigafactory market in the region.
Europe’s Promising Future
Between 2018 and 2030, lithium-ion battery demand is predicted to surge nearly tenfold, and Europe is poised to become a new focal point for key players in the lithium-ion Gigafactory market. The region boasts numerous planned projects set to come online by 2030, including Tesla’s planned Gigafactory in Berlin, with Sweden emerging as a key market player. Europe is set to compete vigorously with Asia Pacific throughout the forecast period.
Global Lithium-ion Gigafactory Market: Competitive Landscape
The top three players in the global lithium-ion Gigafactory market are Tesla, LG Chem, and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. (CATL). Tesla, in particular, has been at the forefront of this market, with the company’s market share expected to surpass 35% by 2030, thanks to recent Gigafactory investments. Other notable participants in the competitive landscape include BYD Co. Ltd., Panasonic Corporation, SAMSUNG SDI CO, LTD., BAK Power Battery, Saft, and Toshiba International Corporation.
