According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global NCM and NCA Precursor Material market size was valued at US$ 23295 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 37682 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 6.9% during review period.
NCM and NCA precursor materials are key intermediates used to prepare positive electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Typically, uniform metal hydroxide or carbonate particles are formed through processes such as co precipitation, and then reacted with lithium sources at high temperatures to produce the final positive electrode material; The NCM precursor is a nickel cobalt manganese ternary system (such as NCM523 622 811) that balances energy density and safety, while the NCA precursor is a nickel cobalt aluminum system with higher nickel content and energy density, but requires higher process control and stability. These precursors have extremely high requirements for material purity, particle size distribution, morphology consistency, and element ratio control, and are the core basic materials that determine battery performance. In 2025, global NCM and NCA Precursor Material production reached approximately 1,382 K MT, with an average global market price of around US$ 16.38 per kg.
The NCM and NCA precursor material markets are highly dependent on the development of the power battery industry, and overall exhibit characteristics of rapid expansion and technological upgrading. Driven by the continuous growth of demand for new energy vehicles, high nickel has become the mainstream trend, promoting NCM811 and higher nickel systems as well as NCA The proportion of materials has increased, and at the same time, industry competition is gradually shifting from scale expansion to comprehensive competition of "high nickel technology process cost control ability". Top enterprises continue to expand their market share with the advantages of raw material guarantee ability and consistency control. In addition, due to the fluctuation of upstream nickel cobalt resource prices, industry profits have periodic fluctuations. In the future, market growth will mainly be driven by the high endurance demand of new energy vehicles. At the same time, in the context of the evolution of solid-state battery and new positive electrode material technology, there is still uncertainty in the medium and long term of technological route substitution, but it is still the mainstream choice for high-energy density power batteries at the current stage.
