Global Lithium Battery Current Collector Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032
Description
The global Lithium Battery Current Collector market size is expected to reach $ 19380 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 8.8% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
The current collector is one of the indispensable components in lithium-ion batteries. It can not only carry the active material, but also collect and output the current generated by the electrode active material, which is conducive to reducing the internal resistance of lithium-ion batteries, improving the coulombic efficiency, cycle stability, and rate performance of the battery. In lithium-ion batteries, the commonly used positive electrode current collector is aluminum foil, and the negative electrode current collector is copper foil.
Global key players of Lithium Battery Current Collector include Londian Wason Energy, Jiujiang Defu Technology, Jiayuan Technology, Dingsheng New Material, Nuode New Materials, etc. The top five players hold a share about 36%. Asia-Pacific is the largest market, and has a share about 80%, followed by North America and Europe with share 12% and 7%, separately. In terms of product type, Anode Current Collector is the largest segment, accounting for a share of 80%. In terms of application, Power Battery is the largest field with a share about 77 percent.
The driving factors of the lithium battery current collector market mainly include the following:
1. Technological innovation: composite current collectors lead industrial upgrading
Breakthrough in materials science
Structural innovation: composite current collectors adopt a sandwich structure of "metal conductive layer + polymer support layer + metal conductive layer" to replace traditional pure copper/aluminum foil. For example, PET composite copper foil reduces the thickness of the metal layer to less than 1μm through magnetron sputtering and water electroplating process, and the total thickness is controlled at 6-8μm, which is 30% lighter than traditional copper foil and 5%-10% higher in energy density.
Performance improvement: The polymer layer effectively blocks the conduction of thermal runaway, the burrs in the puncture test are reduced by 50%, and the short circuit risk is reduced by 60%; the integration of flame retardant formula further enhances safety and meets the dual needs of power batteries for high energy density and safety.
2. Policy support: New energy strategy promotes the improvement of industrial ecology
Fiscal and tax incentives
The state provides R&D subsidies and tax reduction and exemption policies to new energy enterprises to reduce enterprise costs. For example, lithium battery current collector enterprises can enjoy a 15% income tax incentive for high-tech enterprises.
Establish special funds (such as new energy promotion funds) to support the research and development of cutting-edge technologies such as solid-state batteries and sodium-ion batteries.
Industrial chain coordination policies
Local level: Guangdong and Jiangsu promote industrial clustering, Sichuan and Qinghai rely on lithium mineral resources to build a "lithium battery capital" to form a closed loop of resources-materials-batteries.
International cooperation: Through the "Belt and Road" layout of overseas production capacity, CATL's German factory covers the supply chain of BMW and Volkswagen.
III. Market demand: multiple fields drive scale expansion
Explosive growth of new energy vehicles
In 2025, China's new energy vehicle sales are expected to exceed 15.6 million, and the installed capacity of power batteries will drive the demand for current collectors.
BYD's "blade battery" uses a composite current collector, supports 5C ultra-fast charging, and has a range of 500 kilometers in 10 minutes, accelerating the popularization of technology.
Energy storage market blue ocean
Composite current collectors are used in 280Ah large batteries to improve cycle life.
Consumer electronics upgrade
AR/VR devices have a surge in demand for flexible batteries, and Huawei and Apple purchase more than 1 billion units annually, promoting the research and development of thin current collectors.
IV. Cost optimization: large-scale production and material substitution dual-wheel drive
Raw material cost reduction
The thickness of the copper layer of the composite current collector is reduced to 1μm, and the material cost is 60% lower than that of traditional copper foil; the unit cost of PET base film is lower than that of metal, and the cost advantage is significant after scale-up.
Yield improvement: The yield rate of leading enterprises in the industry has reached 80%, and it is expected that the yield rate will increase to 95% in 2025, and the production cost will further decrease by 20%-30%.
Production efficiency improvement
Process simplification: Composite aluminum foil uses vacuum evaporation to replace the traditional calendering process, reducing the process and improving the utilization rate of raw materials.
The prosperity of the lithium battery current collector market is the result of technological breakthroughs, policy support, industrial chain synergy and market demand resonance. As the next generation of core materials, composite current collectors have advantages in safety, energy density and cost. In the future, with the commercialization of solid-state batteries, the increase in the localization rate of equipment and the construction of a global recycling network, lithium battery current collectors will deeply empower energy transformation and become a key infrastructure for the new energy revolution.
