Lithium Market Size, Share, Growth and Global Industry Analysis By Type & Application, Regional Insights and Forecast to 2024-2032
Growth Factors of Lithium Market
The lithium market size was valued at USD 22.19 billion in 2023, and the market is now projected to grow from USD 26.88 billion in 2024 to USD 134.02 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 22.1% during the forecast period of 2024-2032.
Li-ion energy storage, as it currently stands, is expected to dominate the electrified transport sector. Covid-19 pandemic disrupted battery and EV industry shook globally, affecting the production and delivery chains. While this is so, the Li-ion batteries occupied a vital role in medical devices through their detailed specifications and switched their use in ventilators with unique genomes, noted as their versatility and significance. The destabilization of the EV market will and the underlying technology for energy storage, which is revolutionizing the efficiencies across many sectors from healthcare to transportation, will see huge demand rise. This is anticipated to boost the lithium market growth.
With the quite recent technological developments being made by the automotive sector, it will have a big influence on the EV industry. The significant improvements in technology such as less harmful carbon emission, convenience in-built charging adapter, quiet engine sound, smoother ride, and high fuel efficiency are the driving force behind the EVs to replace the conventional travel methods among many other factors. Using EVs in urban environments not only helps decrease air pollution but also possible GHG emissions. An increase in demand for fast and low pollution but fuel-efficient automobiles as well as a governmental threshold for emission from a vehicle would grow the electric vehicle market. These will lead to a drastic increase in the lithium market share.
EV producers and car manufacturers are shifting to iron-based cathodes due to safety and cycle count in mind. Cost and energy density are also be the factors under consideration. EVs are being treated and promoted as environmentally friendly automobiles, since the life cycle cycle generates less CO2 than conventional automobiles. For example, Tesla plans a production of fast new BEV batteries targeted at using Li-iron phosphate batteries. This will reduce the cost of car ownership, cover the car range at least 400 miles, or more, and batteries could last up to 1 million miles.
Comprehensive Analysis of Lithium Market
The lithium market and chemicals & advanced materials industry is rising at an exponential rate due to its market segmentation. This market expansion effectively provides a detailed regional assessment considering the dominant supply and demand forces that impact the chemicals & advanced materials industry. These segmentations are methodically segregated By Product Analysis, By Application Analysis and By End-User Analysis. Classifying by products, the market includes carbonate, hydroxide, chloride, meta and ‘others’. Lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) in its turn was in the first place in 2023 with respect to the market. It is named as lithium chloride, favored by metal oxides processing. The market split by application is divided into batteries, glass & ceramics, lubricants, polymers, metallurgy, medical, and air treatment, and others. In 2023 the batteries sector was a significant shareholder which is most likely going to keep its lead during the projection period. Breaking down the market by end-users, it consists of automotive, consumer electronics, industrial, energy storage, and others. Nowadays petroleum industry leads the global market, however, it is trying to become more and more a source of renewable energy, including lithium-ion-backed batteries as well.
Asia Pacific is suggested to have the highest lithium market share due to the extensive use of the products by industries and commercial sectors, electricity, electronics, chemical , industrial, manufacturing and etc. Rapid industrialization of Asia Pacific in recent days is majorly caused by governmental policies and FDI in the industrial sector. The element one in the growth of the market is the producer access to the raw materials.
The top players in the market play a crucial role in the metals & minerals industry assuring industrial prospectus growth and setting market standards. These players include, Albemarle Corporation (U.S.), SQM S.A. (Chile), Tianqi Lithium (Australia), Jiangsu Ronghui General Lithium Industry Co., Ltd. (China), Ganfeng Lithium Co., Ltd. (China), Sigma Lithium (Canada), American Lithium Corp. (Canada), Livent (U.S.), Avalon Advanced Materials (Canada) and Sayona Mining Limited (Australia).
In January 2023, Ganfeng Lithium Co., Ltd. informed that they will make a new investment of USD 2.14 billion to build two new battery factories which will encapsulate its capacity to 34 GWh. This factory is the addition of the manufacturing segment; it is supposed to grow up to 100 GWh per annum.
