As we step into 2026, the global battery market is entering a new phase.
Due to changes across the lithium battery supply chain, battery prices are starting to increase from January 2026. We believe in transparency, so we want to clearly explain why this is happening, what it means for you, and how you can plan ahead.
Why Are Battery Prices Increasing in 2026?
The price adjustment is not driven by a single factor — it’s the result of several industry-wide changes happening at the same time.
1. Rising Raw Material Costs
Key battery materials such as:
- Lithium carbonate
- Lithium iron phosphate (LFP)
- Electrolyte materials
have all seen significant cost increases since late 2025. These materials make up a large portion of battery production costs, and the impact is now reaching finished battery products.
2. Strong Global Demand for Energy Storage
Demand continues to grow rapidly in:
- Home & commercial energy storage systems
- EV charging infrastructure
- Grid-scale storage projects
As energy storage becomes essential worldwide, battery supply is tightening, especially for high-quality cells and certified battery packs.
3. Manufacturer Price Adjustments
Many upstream suppliers and battery manufacturers have already announced price increases starting January 2026. This is a necessary adjustment to maintain stable production, quality control, and long-term supply reliability.
What Does This Mean for Customers?
- Battery prices in 2026 will be higher than in late 2025
- Early planning can help lock in better pricing
- Long-term projects may see higher system costs if procurement is delayed
We understand price sensitivity is important, especially for installers, system integrators, and distributors. That’s why we want to share this information before the changes fully take effect.
How You Can Prepare
✔ Plan purchases in advance
✔ Confirm 2025 pricing while available
✔ Discuss project timelines early with your supplier
✔ Secure stock for upcoming installations
If you have projects scheduled for Q1–Q2 2026, now is the right time to review your battery sourcing strategy.
