The U.S. battery industry for light-duty vehicle batteries, manufacturing, and recycling, is projected to create 84,000 to 125,000 domestic jobs by 2032, according to the ICCT.
The battery supply chain in Europe currently supports 62,000 jobs and could grow to 202,800 to 312,000 jobs by 2030, according to New Automotive.
Globally, the battery value chain could sustain 5 to 10 million additional jobs by 2030, according to the World Economic Forum, the Global Battery Alliance and Worldmetrics 2025.
