  • Latest News- Lithium Market: Batteries is expected to lead the Application segment during 2023-2027

    The Lithium Market is being driven by Surge in demand from diversified applications

    The Lithium Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 25% during 2022 and 2027. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of 1066.47 thousand t. The global lithium market has experienced significant expansion in production capacity over the past decade, driven by increasing demand from end-user applications, particularly batteries, ceramics and glass, and lubricating greases. In line with this trend, Chilean lithium producer and miner SQM has announced plans to ramp up production capacity. From mid-2022, SQM will produce 180,000 metric tons per year of lithium carbonate and 30,000 metric tons per year of lithium hydroxide. Further expansion is planned, with production capacity expected to reach 210,000 metric tons per year of lithium carbonate and 40,000 metric tons per year of lithium hydroxide from 2023. This significant increase in production capacity underscores the market's continued growth trajectory and the increasing importance of lithium as a key input in various industries.
