With a focus on China, Europe, and the United States, the data is provided in both capacity (GWh) and weight (metric tonnes), and is available online or as fully downloadable Excel datasets—making it an essential tool for investors seeking clarity, confidence, and opportunity across the battery value chain.
Key features include:
-
Coverage of 40+ applications across mobility, energy storage, and consumer electronics
-
Forecasts through 2035 with annual granularity
-
Full demand, production, and end-of-life flow modeling
-
Bottom-up data built from cell- and application-level inputs
-
Regional splits for China, Europe, the U.S., and global totals
-
Metrics available in both GWh and metric tonnes
-
Ready-to-use Excel datasets and online access for seamless analysis
Price data
We provide detailed tracking of used battery prices and material values from a battery-specific perspective—delivering high-value datasets that support strategic investment decisions in battery reuse and recycling.
Our data offers unique visibility into how long batteries remain in use across different applications, helping investors and operators identify early-stage opportunities while batteries are still in operation, as well as forecast future volumes in the secondary market.
These insights are essential for understanding the economics of the battery lifecycle—offering a clear view of historical price development and forward-looking market signals to inform planning, valuation, and capital allocation.
Key features include:
-
Observed market prices of used EV batteries by application and chemistry
-
Normalized prices of black mass and scrap cells, segmented by chemistry and recovery pathway
-
Comparative analysis of used battery prices vs. recovery values
-
Value of cell constituents—historical and current distribution
-
Data aligned with battery formats and chemistries relevant to both reuse and recycling strategies
-
Forecasts of in-use lifespans by application, informing timing of second-life availability
-
Available online and in Excel format for detailed modelling and integration
Market data
