In the past five years, up until 2017, global manufacturing production capacity for lithium-ion battery cells has increased fivefold. Production capacity is expected to triple again by 2022 according to British Petroleum as demand for battery commodities continues to be driven by electric vehicles (EV) and growth in energy storage on the electric grid.
