In 2025, lithium-ion battery pack prices hit a record low of $108/kWh across all segments, with stationary storage systems plummeting to $70/kWh—a staggering 45% drop from 2024 levels. According to BloombergNEF's Levelized Cost of Electricity 2026 report, the cost of battery storage projects plummeted to new lows in 2025 even as most other clean power technologies became more expensive. This was driven by overcapacity in China, fierce competition, and the widespread adoption of cost-effective. The global battery market is experiencing significant growth, driven by the accelerating demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems (ESS) 3 5. Wider deployment and the commercialisation of new battery storage technologies has led to rapid cost reductions, notably. Some trends in the auto sector can be counted on year-in, year-out: Americans will keep buying big pickup trucks, SUVs will continue to take market share around the world, and Toyota will insist fuel cell vehicles are just around the corner. Add to that list, falling battery prices.
