The need for high-performance and sustainable energy storage systems is rising, and lithium-ion batteries are one of the promising technologies. The Li-Ion battery technology market size is projected to reach USD 135.1 billion in 2031 from 48.6 billion in 2023 [1]. To address this increase in demand, companies across the globe are focusing on setting up giga factories for cell manufacturing. This paper aims to provide a complete overview of the cell manufacturing process and an overview of building a gigafactory for cell manufacturing, including the stepwise scale-up, establishing a stable supply chain, and utility requirements. In addition, the paper discusses the challenges and opportunities involved with developing a gigafactory and its potential effect on the energy storage market. It is a helpful resource for individuals and companies interested in setting up a giga factory.
