Additionally, there has been a slight upsurge in the hybrid and electric vehicle market share, which is primarily fueled by hybrid electric vehicle sales, which increased by 30.7% year-over-year (YoY). Meanwhile, hybrid sales catered to 8.6% of the overall light-duty market within the same year and surged to 9.6%, thereby making it suitable for boosting the market in the region.
The lithium-ion battery market in the U.S. is gaining increased traction due to policy support, federal funding, electric vehicle adoption, grid-scale storage, and safety and standards. As per an article published by the National Energy Technology Laboratory in October 2022, the Biden-Harris Administration, through the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), declared that 20 companies received USD 2.8 billion to develop and expand commercial-scale infrastructures across 12 states to process and extract graphite, lithium, and other battery-specific materials. In addition, the federal investment has been predicted to be matched by recipients to leverage an overall USD 9 billion to bolster regional production, pertaining to clean energy technology, support governmental objectives, and create standard-paying employment opportunities, thus denoting an optimistic outlook for the overall market.
The lithium-ion battery market in Canada is also developing, owing to governmental investments, critical minerals strategy, sustainability, innovation, and international opportunity. As stated in an article published by the Government of Canada in October 2025, the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources declared a generous investment of more than USD 22 million under the Energy Innovation Program (EIP) to support 8 projects for assisting in accelerating battery advancement and production capacities across the country. Besides, in March 2025, the Government of Canada has readily partnered with Frontier Lithium Inc. to successfully make expansion in the production of tactical battery materials. Additionally, with the launch of the country’s first-ever Critical Minerals Strategy in 2023, the government has initiated suitable investments and overcome gaps to achieve standard processing facilities and mines, which positively impacts the market’s development.
