BNEF forecasts pack prices to decline by USD 3 per kWh in 2025. (USD 1 = EUR 0.950) The global average price of lithium-ion battery packs has fallen by 20% year-on-year to USD 115 (EUR 109) per kWh in 2024, marking the steepest decline since 2017, according to BloombergNEF's annual battery price survey, unveiled on Tuesday.
Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) are pivotal in the shift towards electric mobility, having seen an 85 % reduction in production costs over the past decade. However, achieving even more significant cost reductions is vital to making battery electric vehicles (BEVs) widespread and competitive with internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs).
Secondly, techno-economic analysis predicts that the mean price of EV battery packs with diverse chemical compositions will decline to $75.1/kWh by 2030, factoring in the compound annual growth rate of critical raw material prices over the past decade. LFP batteries emerge as the top economic performers.

Direct cathode recycling provides the greatest potential for carbon reduction. LFP might be the only lithium-ion battery to achieve the $80/kWh price target. Cost reductions from learning effects can hardly offset rising carbon prices. Recycling is needed for climate change mitigation and battery economics.
That is more than 2.5 times annual demand for lithium-ion batteries in 2024, according to BNEF. While demand across all sectors saw year-on-year growth, the EV market – the biggest demand driver for batteries – grew more slowly than in recent years.
