Lithium Market Evolution
The market for lithium, lithium minerals, and lithium chemicals
has seen major changes over the last four years in terms of supply
and demand and will continue to evolve and grow over the coming
five years and beyond. The main driver of growth in demand over
recent years has been secondary (rechargeable) lithium-ion
batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) and portable electronics
market.
During 2013- 17, global lithium consumption increased at nearly 9%
annually, with growth of more than 19% per year forecast over the
next five years. The main driver for this growth in demand has been
lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for electric vehicles (EVs), including
battery electric vehicles (BEVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs)
and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs).
We have built on our extensive experience with
Lithium minerals & chemicals, electronic/portable devices,
electromobility and grid storage.
