MARKET GROWTH FACTORS
Battery technologies for storage systems drive the nickel market because of rapid growth, and large-scale installations supply important volume. For EV batteries, nickel-containing cathode active materials are essential. In 2024, Nornickel opened a new R&D center for study of nickel as a battery component. Nickel demand innovated when processes extracted and refined nickel.
Geopolitical risks specific to some countries that produce nickel and supply limited to them contribute to market volatility. Mining and recycling techniques advance toward producing more environmentally sustainable products to meet the growing global demand for nickel. U.S. defense and aerospace companies contribute toward the U.S. market. The Department of Defense funds research so it can promote domestic nickel production and reduce reliance on foreign suppliers.
Nickel is used consistently in stainless steels at a high rate for a long time (over 60% of nickel is consumed), and the International Stainless-Steel Forum (ISSF) reports that construction and transportation use nickel more and more, helped by urbanization and infrastructure investment. Worldwide infrastructure investors will spend USD 94 trillion by 2040 with expectations, and market analysts predict EV penetration into lithium-ion batteries will increase nickel demand by 300% in the next ten years.
