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

Published: Feb 9, 2026 22:06
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.

Chilean Lithium Producer SQM Reports 53% YoY Profit Growth in Q4
Chilean lithium producer SQM announced that its Q4 net profit increased due to favorable market conditions which raised the average price of lithium and thus boosted performance. The world's second-largest lithium miner stated that its Q4 net profit was $183.8 million up 53% YoY. Revenue for the quarter grew by 23.3% reaching $1.32 billion compared to $1.07 billion in the same period last year. Gross profit for the quarter rose 52.7% to $448.5 million. SQM CEO Ramos said, "Our Q4 2025 results reflect record sales from our two major lithium businesses (Nova Andino Litio and the International Lithium Division)." "In November 2025, we began to see early signs of an improving supply-demand balance primarily driven by stronger-than-expected ESS demand."
