6 FAQs about [Battery industry raw material hedging]
Can industrial companies hedge a growing number of commodities?
Industrial companies can hedge an ever-increasing number of commodities, but effective hedging requires a comprehensive approach. Hedging has long been a way for global commodity buyers and sellers to mitigate the risks of price fluctuations for feedstocks, which are the raw-material inputs for industrial products.
Can a battery producer reduce emissions from mining and refining?
Battery producers could theoretically limit their emissions from materials mining and refining by up to 80 percent if they source materials from the most sustainable producers, such as those that have already transitioned to lower-emissions fuels and power sources (see sidebar “What constitutes ‘green’ battery materials?”).
Will battery demand continue to grow in the next 10/20 years?
The fast expansion of battery demand has contributed to tightened raw material markets. Based on the global powertrain outlook and the metal intensity of batteries, we expect the battery demand of the main materials (lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese) will continue to grow at a 22%/15% CAGR for the next 10/20 years (Exhibit 15-Exhibit 16).
What is a battery manufacturing business?
Manufacturing batteries is a complex business, with interplay of securing various raw materials and managing the supply chain for a broad range of components that vary over time as the chemistry evolves.
What are the challenges faced by the battery industry?
Short- to midterm challenges, such as price volatility and materials shortages at a regional level, will likely continue. In addition, serious sustainability challenges concerning emissions and other environmental and social effects of battery materials and battery disposal are emerging.
Does hedging reduce EBITDA-margin volatility?
A comprehensive hedging strategy can reduce EBITDA-margin volatility by 20 to 25 percent for commodity feedstock-intensive businesses. 4 However, many companies tend to approach hedging in the wrong way, trying to manage commodity prices in isolation from other elements of margin, such as the prices of end products sold.
