Current research activities for lithium based cathode or anode materials , vary, but confirm the preferred use of lithium for energy storage in the future. Rising lithium demand requires an extensive knowledge of raw material situation as well as the current and future lithium supply and demand.
An increased supply of lithium will be needed to meet future expected demand growth for lithium-ion batteries for transportation and energy storage. Lithium demand has tripled since 2017 and is set to grow tenfold by 2050 under the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario.
In this study the lithium market is analysed including areas of application, drivers of demand as well as lithium price development. A demand forecast up to 2020 is given in four different scenarios, including the increasing demand in electric mobility, forced by political driven influences.
Chinese producers ramp up projects in Africa, bearing out an oversupply in 2024. By then, the total production output of lithium carbonate will reach 1,323,000 MT, while demand sits at 1,189,000 MT of LCE, indicating a 10% excess supply.
By then, the total production output of lithium carbonate will reach 1,323,000 MT, while demand sits at 1,189,000 MT of LCE, indicating a 10% excess supply. Against this backdrop, spot lithium carbonate prices will be pressed downward from RMB 166,500/MT on September 27, 2023 to RMB 110,000/MT in the same month of 2024.
The basis for the analysis are demand values for the individual areas of lithium applications from USGS starting in 2007. The calculated forecast values are represented in the following in a “Basic scenario” with demand and share of lithium by field of application (Table 1). Furthermore, an Optimistic and a Pessimistic scenario are shown (Table 2).
In 2022, lithium demand exceeded supply (as in 2021) despite the 180% increase in production since 2017. In 2022, about 60% of lithium, 30% of cobalt and 10% of nickel demand was for …
