Electric Vehicle Battery Market to Reach $178.8 Billion by 2035 Driven by Falling Costs and Rising LFP Adoption

Published: Jan 2026

Electric vehicle battery market was valued at $71.5 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $178.8 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 9.7% during the forecast period (2026-2035). Battery pack prices declined across all regions, although the scale of reduction differed considerably. Fastest declines seen in China, where prices fell nearly 30% in 2024, compared to 10-15% in Europe and the US. This divergence further increased the price differential among China and other regions, reinforcing the cost competitiveness of Chinese electric vehicle and battery manufacturers. Battery chemistry remains a key cost factor. Lithium iron phosphate batteries, predominantly used in China, are approximately 30% less expensive per kilowatt-hour than lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide batteries, which continue to dominate usage in the US and Europe.

China continues to lead the adoption of LFP batteries, meeting nearly three-quarters of domestic battery demand in 2024, with the share rising to around 80% toward the end of the year. In the US, LFP usage in electric vehicles remained below 10% in 2024, reflecting limited uptake, while the European Union recorded strong growth, with LFP batteries accounting for over 10% of the EV market following a year-on-year increase of about 90%. Adoption has progressed more rapidly in Southeast Asia, Brazil, and India, where LFP batteries exceeded 50% of electric car battery use in 2024, supported by imports in Southeast Asia and Brazil and domestic vehicle production in India.

The US Department of Energy’s Vehicle Technologies Office reports that the cost of lithium-ion battery packs for light-duty electric vehicles fell by 90% between 2008 and 2023, measured in 2023 constant dollars. In 2023, the estimated cost stands at $139 per kWh for production at a scale of at least 100,000 units annually, compared with $1,415 per kWh in 2008. This significant reduction is attributed to advancements in battery technologies and chemistries, improvements in manufacturing processes, and increased production volumes.
