2021 is shaping up to be a big year for the electric vehicle (EV) market, with related companies\u00a0enjoying a boost<\/a>\u00a0already as EVs progressively move towards mainstream status. From\u00a0Norway<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0South Korea<\/a>, EVs are becoming an increasingly important part of the public and private transport discussion.<\/p>

The most important factor that distinguishes an EV from a conventional vehicle is the battery that powers it. This feature will look more closely at the materials used in EV batteries and how Samsung C&T Trading & Investment Group is involved in trading them.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Rise of EVs and the force behind them<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It might seem as if EVs have enjoyed a rapid climb from being an obscure concept, but actually they were\u00a0first introduced<\/a>\u00a0more than a century ago. By 1900, EVs accounted for a significant share of all vehicles on the road, and New York City even had its own fleet of electric taxis.<\/p>

Gasoline and diesel vehicles quickly took over in the 20th century, gaining popularity over EVs for the same reason some consumers might still drive them today \u2013 they became cheaper than EVs and benefited from a supportive infrastructure. However, EVs were bound to fight back eventually given that gasoline and diesel vehicles rely on fossil fuels and pollute the environment.<\/p>

So, let\u2019s take a closer look at the power that drives an EV. Obviously, they rely on a charging infrastructure, but lithium-ion batteries are currently the\u00a0dominant technology<\/a>\u00a0that makes EVs work in the first place. Lithium-ion batteries generate power through the movement of lithium ions and electrons. When the battery is charged, the ions and electrons move from a cathode to an anode through an electrolyte and wire, respectively. Conversely, when the battery is discharged, they go back to the cathode the same way, which allows the EV to move. You can check out the typical makeup of an EV battery below.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Behind the global EV boom: The battery and raw materials market<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The EV battery market is projected to reach\u00a0USD 133.46 billion by 2027<\/a>, growing at a CAGR of 18.05%. Lithium-ion batteries account for around\u00a070 percent<\/a>\u00a0of the rechargeable battery market.<\/p>

Companies have been continuously investing in ways to lower the cost of producing EV batteries. As a result, lithium-ion battery prices have dropped\u00a087 percent between 2010 and 2019<\/a>, and they are expected to keep falling thanks to new breakthroughs in chemistry and manufacturing techniques.<\/p>

Underlying material prices can also play a significant role in the future of powering EVs. Lithium-ion batteries rely on a ready supply of\u00a0key metals<\/a>, and the markets for these materials are benefiting from the overall boost being enjoyed by the EV industry. For instance, the lithium market is\u00a0steadying after a three-year downturn<\/a>, and even the recent move by the Chinese government to reduce subsidies for EVs has\u00a0not hit the market for EV battery materials<\/a>\u00a0as it did in 2018. Moreover,\u00a0global demand for nickel<\/a>\u00a0used in EV batteries is set to increase over 10 times from 60,000 metric tons in 2018 to 665,000 tons by 2025. And as EVs require up to 3.5 times more copper than internal combustion engine (ICE) cars, demand for copper to supply EVs is projected to take over that of ICE vehicles\u00a0in 10 years<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Samsung C&T\u2019s place in the EV battery supply chain<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Samsung C&T Trading & Investment Group trades materials that are currently highly valued in the EV battery industry.<\/p>

For example, the company trades rare metals such as nickel and cobalt. Samsung C&T is leveraging its sourcing network while seeking to develop new suppliers to meet rapidly growing demand for rechargeable battery materials, including cobalt and nickel as well as lithium.<\/p>

In addition, Samsung C&T supplies\u00a0copper concentrates<\/a>. Copper concentrates are an unfinished form of copper found in the step before it is processed, and processed copper has several uses including for EV batteries.<\/p>

While EVs continue to drive themselves and various materials towards new heights, there is also another important aspect to ensuring the industry\u2019s sustainability \u2013 recycling used EV batteries.\u00a0Part 2<\/a>\u00a0will look more closely at this, as well as finding out about Samsung C&T\u2019s participation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
