LONDON, GREATER LONDON, UK, July 23, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In July 2021, Sumitomo Metal Mining Co., Ltd. announced an investment of $424 million (47 billion yen) to expand its cathode materials production. The company aims to invest around 40 billion yen to build a new nickel-based cathode materials plant, as well as 7 billion yen to expand its precursor material production capacity in western Japan by 2025. These investments will allow Sumitomo Metal to increase its cathode materials capacity from about 5,000 tonnes per month currently to around 7,000 tonnes per month in 2025, and to 10,000 tonnes per month in 2027.

Sumitomo Metal supplies nickel-based cathode materials (a key component of the lithium-ion rechargeable batteries used in electric vehicles) to its existing customer Panasonic, which further supplies its lithium-ion batteries that are used in Tesla’s electric vehicles. Advances in electric vehicles (EV) batteries and their associated technologies are attracting the interests of individuals to purchase EVs, contributing to the growth of the EV batteries market. Recent advancements such as lithium-ion batteries, fast charging, and better mileage have helped the electric cars become more passenger-friendly. The boost in production capacity of cathode materials will allow Sumitomo Metal to capitalize on the increasing demand of automotive batteries.

Geographically, Asia Pacific was the largest region in the global batteries market, accounting for more than 39% of the total batteries market in 2020, followed by North America accounting for almost 22% of the global batteries market.
