Sources

IEA analysis based on data from Benchmark Mineral Intelligence (2024), BNEF (2025), EV Volumes (2025), InfoLink (2025), S&P Global (2025), UN Comtrade (2025) and announcements by manufacturers and personal communications.

Notes

ETP = Energy Technology Perspectives. Capacities are annual. Announced capacity to 2030 refers to all announcements, both committed and preliminary. ETP-2023 was published in January 2023 featuring assessed announced projects as of November 2022. The cutoff point for ETP-2024 was June 2024 and, for ETP-2026, it is November 2025. Battery deployment includes all EV types and stationary storage. The results for wind manufacturing are not directly comparable across editions due to methodological changes in underlying data sources.
