Global Nickel Sulfate For EV Battery Market Research Report 2026(Status And Outlook)

Report Overview
Nickel sulfate (NiSO4) is a midstream product of the nickel industry chain. It is a nickel salt obtained by smelting and processing nickel sulfide ore or laterite nickel ore.Nickel sulfate is usually divided into electroplating grade nickel sulfate and battery grade nickel sulfate according to different application scenarios. Electroplating grade nickel sulfate is the main nickel salt of electroplating nickel and chemical nickel, and is also the source of metal nickel ions. It can dissociate nickel ions and sulfate ions during the electroplating process. Battery grade nickel sulfate is mainly used in the battery field to manufacture precursor materials for ternary batteries and spherical nickel hydroxide for nickel-hydrogen batteries.Nickel sulfate is one of the key raw materials for preparing positive electrode materials for lithium batteries. Especially in the manufacturing process of ternary lithium batteries, nickel sulfate, together with raw materials such as cobalt salts and manganese salts, generates precursors for positive electrode materials through a series of chemical reactions. Battery grade nickel sulfate has a specific chemical composition and physical form, usually in the form of crystalline powder (some companies also provide cobalt sulfate solution).Global EV sales continued strong. A total of 10,5 million new BEVs and PHEVs were delivered during 2022, an increase of +55 % compared to 2021. China and Europe emerged as the main drivers of strong growth in global EV sales. In 2022, the production and sales of new energy vehicles in China reach 7.0 million and 6.8 million respectively, a year-on-year increase of 96.9% and 93.4%, with a market share of 25.6%. The production and sales of new energy vehicles have ranked first in the world for eight consecutive years. Among them, the sales volume of pure electric vehicles was 5.365 million, a year-on-year increase of 81.6%. In 2022, sales of pure electric vehicles in Europe will increase by 29% year-on-year to 1.58 million.Electric vehicles have become the mainstream trend of future automotive development.According to USGS data, global nickel resources are mainly distributed in Indonesia, Australia, Brazil, Russia, the Philippines, China, Canada, the United States and other countries. Among them, Indonesia, Australia and Brazil account for 60% of nickel resource reserves. However, in recent years, Indonesia has gradually tightened its export restrictions on raw ore, which has had a certain impact on the supply of raw materials for nickel sulfate. In terms of production technology, nickel sulfate has various production methods. For example, Shanghai CN Science And Technology uses wet separation technology to produce nickel sulfate. It mainly produces battery-grade nickel sulfate through a series of processes and supporting equipment such as acid leaching, impurity removal, extraction and purification, multi-effect evaporation, and continuous crystallization.In terms of terminal applications, battery material companies generally use crystal powder to manufacture ternary materials. On the one hand, the transportation cost of the solution is very high, and the selling price + transportation cost is much higher than that of electroplating-grade nickel sulfate; on the other hand, the solution is a dangerous product, and long-term storage has a certain impact on the content of the product itself. At the same time, the crystal powder is easy to store and can be resold on the market.In terms of market competition, global nickel sulfate (powder/solution) companies for electric vehicle batteries are mainly distributed in Japan, China, South Korea, Finland, Indonesia, Australia and Belgium. Among them, Chinas share of nickel sulfate production for electric vehicle batteries exceeds 60%. The worlds top 5 companies mainly include Sumitomo Metal Mining, Jinchuan Group, KEMCO (Korea Zinc), MCC Ramu New Energy Technology and Guangxi Yinyi Advanced Material, with a market share of 44%. There are many companies in China that have the ability to produce nickel sulfate, but the production capacity is mainly concentrated in a few large companies.With the continuous development of new energy technology, nickel sulfate, as a key raw material for the preparation of positive electrode materials for electric vehicle batteries, continues to grow in demand as the electric vehicle market grows.

The global Nickel Sulfate for EV Battery market size was estimated at USD 2607.0 million in 2025 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.00% during the forecast period.
