With the automobile sector moving toward electrification, there is an increasing demand for safe and high-performing battery technologies, such as lithium iron phosphate. Additionally, the government programs that support sustainable mobility and clean energy across the globe also contribute to market expansion.

The price trend of lithium iron phosphate is thus dependent on these factors influencing its market trend. During the H2 of 2023, the manufacturing sector received huge amounts of investments, particularly in India.

The first phase of investments began for Himadri Specialty Chemicals as they set up a new plant in Odisha. This marks the first plant specialized in the manufacturing of lithium iron phosphate in India and is expected to reduce the burden and dependency on overseas imports. However, the investments came during the late months of the year, and in view of the growing demand and limited availability of lithium iron phosphate, its prices remained on a higher note in India.

On the other hand, self-sufficient nations, such as China etc., witnessed a slowdown in the automotive and EV sectors, which in turn hindered the growth of the lithium iron phosphate price trend.

Lithium iron phosphate is used as a cathode in lithium-ion batteries that are widely employed in electric vehicles, energy storage systems, power tools, and renewable energy sectors. They have high energy density, low self-discharge rates, and resistance to thermal runaway. The automotive industries, such as EVs, play a major role in dictating the price trend of Lithium iron phosphate.

The demand for Lithium iron phosphate saw a surge in the first two quarters of 2023 as its demand inclined with the rise in the production and overall market activities of the downstream industries. Many big players in the automotive sector have invested in this market to increase the production of Lithium iron phosphate to cater to its rising demand. It has become a popular choice over traditionally used metals such as nickel and cobalt as it offers a cheaper alternative, which further supported the rise in its price trend.
