Competitive landscape

SIBs compete directly with LFP (lithium iron phosphate) in stationary storage and low-cost EV segments. NMC/NCA remain dominant for energy-dense mobility. Adjacent electrochemical approaches include potassium-ion (cheaper still, worse kinetics), zinc-ion (aqueous, safer, lower energy density), and flow batteries (vanadium, iron-air) for long-duration storage.
