Lithium is a soft, silver-white metal with a high flammability and reactivity. It is usually kept in mineral oil. The concentration of lithium in the earth's crust is expected to be 20-70 ppm by weight. Lithium is found in animals, plants, soil, and the human body. It is typically extracted from ores and mineral springs, where it can be found in trace amounts. It is used in aircraft cooling systems, special glasses, bicycle frames, rechargeable batteries, nuclear reactors, glass ceramics, and armour plating, among other things.
Global Lithium Market Dynamics
Drivers
High usage of lithium in manufacturing of lithium-ion rechargeable batteries
Lithium has been extensively used in the production of lithium-ion rechargeable battery to consume and save energy. Lithium-ion batteries are used in various applications such as cameras, laptops, power tools, mobile phones, and vehicles. For instance, BMW Group has signed a contract with Ganfeng Lithium, a lithium extracting company in China, to supply LiOH for battery cells due to the growing penetration of EVs. Increasing awareness regarding environment-friendly vehicles which is driving the demand for the EVs. So, BMW has planned to introduce 25 electrified models in the market with Li-ion batteries.The rising demand of lithium for the production of batteries is expected to drive the growth rate of the lithium market.
Increasing demand of electric vehicle
The increasing preference of electric vehicles is projected to drive the growth rate of the lithium market. Lack of efficient public transport is enforcing the customers to use electric vehicle for daily travel. Growing number of electric vehicles in emerging economies are expected to drive the demand for the rechargeable batteries, which may increase the growth of the lithium market during forecast period of 2022-2029.
Furthermore, rising lithium demand from numerous end user industries is a major factor which is expected to boost the market growth. The increasing government policies due to environmental concerns and growing usage of portable devices by using li-ion batteries are some other major factors which are expected to boost market growth.
Opportunities
Rising investment in electric vehicle market
The expanding investment in electric vehicle market owing to the high demand of two-wheelers in emerging nations has led to the adoption of the rechargeable batteries such as lithium ion batteries during forecast period. For Instance: According to the Avenue Capitals, electric vehicle (EV) market is likely to be Rs 50,000 crore (US$ 7.09 billion) opportunity by 2025 for two- wheeler and three-wheeler vehicle In India, which is expected to generate immense opportunities for the market growth rate.
Furthermore, increasing number of technological advancement with the growing number of research and development activities will further create lucrative opportunities that will led to the growth of the lithium market during the forecast period of 2022-2029.
