The price of battery-grade lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide in China skyrocketed from less than CNY 200,000/ton (~USD 28,000) to over CNY 300,000/ton (~USD 43,000). Notably, the ASP of battery-grade lithium carbonate surged by more than 28%, hitting CNY 254,300/ton. Growth in the battery industry is a function of price. As the scale of production increases, prices come down. Figure 1 forecasts the decrease in price of an automotive cell over the next decade. The price per kWh moved from $132 per kWh in 2018 to a high of $161 in 2021. But from 2022 to 2030 the price will decline to an estimated $80 per kWh.
