Dynamic filters let users shape insights by region, chemistry, company and plant status – unlocking trends, competitive shifts and strategic opportunities in the battery supply chain.
Fastmarkets’ interactive gigafactory map demonstrates the breadth and depth of our data on the global electric vehicle (EV) battery supply chain. Track the location, capacity, technology type and operational status of over 300 gigafactories worldwide — including planned, under construction and active sites. Use dynamic filters to sort by region, battery chemistry (LFP, NMC, solid-state), ownership and launch year, including CAM and pCAM projects. Whether you’re an analyst, investor, or supply chain strategist, this map gives you real-time insights into the fast-evolving lithium-ion battery manufacturing landscape. Updated regularly with verified data, it’s your essential tool for navigating the global EV battery gigafactory boom through 2030 and beyond.

Read the key takeaways from a recent conversation on Fast Forward podcast with Vedanta Resources CEO, Deshnee Naidoo, and Andrea Hotter
Spot prices for lithium iron phosphate (LFP) black mass and battery scrap rose during the week to Thursday November 13, driven by a sharp increase in Chinese lithium carbonate prices, sources told Fastmarkets.
Vedanta Resources’ Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) in Zambia is set for a major revival, after years of under-investment and political uncertainty. The move is being driven by a convergence of capital, government support and shifting geopolitics, according to a senior executive at CopperTech Metals.
Canada has officially designated select minerals – including graphite, scandium, and rare earths – as national security priorities under the country’s Defence Production Act, providing guaranteed buyers for some domestic producers and signalling a move closer to government-backed price floors.
The US tungsten supply chain is entering a period of transformation as defense-related funding, new domestic projects, and global trade restrictions reshape market dynamics. The growing focus on national security and critical minerals is driving fresh momentum in US tungsten production.
With cobalt exports from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) set to resume in a few days’ time, the LME Week event in London has so far served as a mixing pot for opinions on how far the current price rally could go and the blue metal’s long-term future – from a perspective of both upstream DRC policy and downstream battery chemistry.
