Global Precursor Materials Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032
Description
The global Precursor Materials market size is expected to reach $ 49640 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 13.8% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
Precursor materials are intermediate products with highly uniform distribution of various elements prepared by solution process can be converted into finished products by chemical reaction and play a decisive role in the performance index of finished products. The cathode material is the key material for lithium ion batteries, and the precursor is an important raw material for the production of lithium ion cathode materials. used for energy storage devices of various Power Battery, Consumer Battery, digital cameras, drones, robots, solar energy, wind energy, etc., as well as communication equipment and backup power of such base stations.
Global key players of precursor materials include CNGR Corporation, GEM Co., Ltd, Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt, Brunp Recycling, Umicore, etc. The top five players hold a share about 58%.
Precursor Materials are mainly classified into the following types: NCM and NCA type, and NCM type is the most widely used type which takes up about 94.1% of the total sales. At present, high-nickel materials such as NCM811 and NCA9 series have become mainstream in the market. GEM's ultra-high nickel and low-cobalt (1.5% cobalt) precursors with Ni content of 96% was commercialized. NCM91 polycrystalline and NCM90 single crystals will enter the mass production stage, and NCMA quaternary precursors will enter the mass production certification stage.
Precursor Materials have wide range of applications, such as power battery and consumer battery. Power battery was the most widely used area which took up about 73% of the global market. The rapid development of this field is mainly due to the rapid growth of new energy vehicles.
