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 production capacity expansions over the past decade in response to increasing demand from end-user applications, particularly in the production of batteries, ceramics and glass, and lubricating greases. One notable example is Chilean lithium producer and miner SQM, which has recently increased its production capacity to 180,000 metric tons per year of lithium carbonate and 30,000 metric tons per year of lithium hydroxide, with plans to further expand to 210,000 metric tons per year of lithium carbonate and 40,000 metric tons per year of lithium hydroxide by 2023. This trend is expected to continue as demand for lithium in end-user products continues to grow in the coming decade.
