WA is strategically placed to take advantage of increased lithium demand created by the ever growing battery industry. By 2025 it is expected the lithium-ion battery market will reach a value of USD $93.1 billion, equating to a CAGR of 17.0%. This demand uplift will be driven by increased consumption and development of electric vehicles, portable consumer electronics and grid storage systems.

Peter Gray and Josh Snow from Moore Stephens WA in conjunction with industry partners have been researching further into manganese, a key battery component, looking to determine if it is in fact the “forgotten battery mineral”.

Moore Stephens WA has extensive experience dealing with entities involved in the processing and development of metal-ion batteries, with practical knowledge designed to further understand the industry and its patterns and trends.
