Sodium-ion technology is often positioned as a lower-cost alternative to lithium-ion, but initial pricing may be higher than expected. According to IDTechEx research, the average Na-ion cell cost is currently ~US$87/kWh, considering variations in chemistry and manufacturing scale. . The global energy storage sodium ion battery market was valued at USD 245. 3 million in 2024 and is set to reach USD 2. Sodium ranks as the sixth most abundant element in the earth's crust, with an approximate 2. 68% during the forecast period 2025–2033.
