A Panoramic View of Solid-State Battery Anodes: The Triple Game of Technology, Capacity, and Market

Published: Feb 9, 2026 22:06

Save

The industrialization of solid-state battery anodes follows a clear technological progression, closely linked to the maturity of the electrolyte system: first, compatibility and improvement—silicon-based/composite anodes; second, upgrading and breakthroughs—pre-lithiation/composite lithium metal anodes; and third, the ultimate goal—pure lithium metal anode capacity deployment.

According to SMM forecasts, all-solid-state battery shipments will reach 13.5 GWh by 2028, while semi-solid-state battery shipments will reach 160 GWh. Global lithium-ion battery demand is projected to reach approximately 2,800 GWh by 2030, with the EV sector's lithium-ion battery demand showing a CAGR of around 11% from 2024 to 2030, ESS lithium-ion battery demand at a CAGR of about 27%, and consumer electronics lithium battery demand at a CAGR of roughly 10%. Global solid-state battery penetration is estimated at about 0.1% in 2025, with all-solid-state battery penetration expected to reach around 4% by 2030, and global solid-state battery penetration potentially approaching 10% by 2035.

【SMM New Energy】PLS Signs Spodumene Offtake Deal with Canmax, Sets USD1000/t Floor Price and Secures USD100M Prepayment

PLS announced that it has entered into a 2-year spodumene concentrate offtake agreement with Canmax Technologies, covering annual supply of 150kt, with an option to extend the agreement for an extra 12 months. The agreement sets a floor price of USD1,000/t on an SC6 basis, with no upside price cap, providing downside protection while retaining full exposure to price increases. Meanwhile, Canmax will provide a USD100 million unsecured, interest-free prepayment, which will be offset against future spodumene deliveries. Supply is scheduled to commence in 2026, subject to receipt of the prepayment, with material sourced from PLS’ Pilgangoora operation. The agreement is expected to enhance PLS’ near-term liquidity while maintaining production and sales flexibility through optional volumes.
