Since 2016, lithium prices have already risen by 60%, and it is unlikely that current market trends will contribute to reducing the price of battery cells in the next few years.
In September, as market participants expect, the cost of rechargeable batteries for laptops will grow by 10-20%. It is not so important what type of batteries laptops use: expensive both lithium-ion and lithium-polymer batteries. The Chinese authorities have tightened the rules for the extraction of cobalt, which is needed to produce batteries, so raw materials are becoming more expensive in all directions. Manufacturers of laptops have already suffered from a lack of displays, solid-state and operational memory, and now the situation is further exacerbated by the more expensive batteries.
