Global Lithium Market (2023 Edition) - Analysis By Value and Volume, Source (Brine, Hardrock), Applications, End Users, By Region, By Country: Market Size, Insights, Competition, Covid-19 Impact and Forecast (2023-2028)
Executive Summary
The Global Lithium market was valued at USD 4650 Million in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.5% during the forecast period of 2023-2028. The market for lithium-ion batteries is likely to grow significantly over the forecast period as a result of the electrification of cars.
Due to the strict rules that ICE automakers must adhere to in order to minimise carbon dioxide emissions from automobiles, the automotive application market is predicted to increase significantly over the course of the projection period. This has caused automakers to become more interested in creating EVs, which is expected to increase demand for lithium and related goods. Together with investments in this area, government subsidies for EVs are projected to serve as an additional catalyst for the market's expansion.
Also, the growing lithium-ion battery market will be able to get enough products from the lithium sector. Direct lithium extraction (DLE) and direct lithium to product (DLP), which are anticipated to grow tenfold between 2021 and 2030, can be the driving factors behind the industry's ability to react more quickly to skyrocketing demand.
Among the sources of lithium, the rising demand for high-capacity lithium-ion batteries will propel the demand for brine due to the enormous potential and significant technological advancements in the production of the product. Furthermore, the extraction of lithium from geothermal brines provides an opportunity to offer regions a reliable domestic supply of lithium to fulfil the rising needs of electric vehicles and other uses.
The Global lithium market is not fragmented but oligopolistic in structure as there are few players controlling the supply and price dominance in the marketplace. The top 10 lithium companies control more than 60% of the industry, while the other companies in the industry control a combined 22% of the market.
