Lithium Market Analysis and Industry Outlook 2026
The global lithium market was valued at US$ 2,983.59 Mn in 2017 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 10.7% from 2018 to 2026, according to a new report titled ‘Lithium Market: Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2018–2026,’ published by Transparency Market Research (TMR). The global lithium market is driven by rise in the demand for electric vehicles. Asia Pacific accounts for a major share of the global lithium market.
Increase in demand for lithium for its use in electric vehicles to fuel the lithium market
Increase in sales of electric vehicles including hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and pure battery electric vehicles (BEVs) is anticipated to fuel the demand for lithium batteries and thereby, lithium during the forecast period. Low weight and high energy density are major properties of lithium responsible for its use in battery applications. Increase in government funding for research and development activities for energy storage applications is likely to augment the demand for lithium in the next few years. The U.S. government has granted US$ 2 Bn to accelerate the development and manufacture of next-generation electric vehicles. Increasing use of lithium in mobile phones, cordless power tools, laptops, and high-tech devices is anticipated to drive the global lithium market during the forecast period.
Increase in demand for lithium for use in air-treatment applications to augment the global lithium market
Use of lithium in air treatment applications such as cooling, dehumidification, and air regeneration is on the rise. Rising use of absorption chillers in hospitals, shopping malls, and other institutional facilities is likely to drive the global lithium market in the near future, as lithium bromide is primarily used in these applications. Increasing use of lithium chloride for dehumidification is another factor driving the lithium market. Gelatin manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, breweries, and hospitals employ typical installations wherein lithium is used for the dehumidification purpose. Demand for lithium for use in air regeneration is also increasing. Lithium is used for removal of carbon dioxide in space vehicles, sub-marines, miners, and safety devices.

Issues associated with disposal of lithium and concerns regarding toxicity to restrain the global lithium market
Careless disposal of lithium batteries is likely to lead to release of lithium into the environment. This lithium, in turn, reaches the food chain. Lithium content inside the human body is toxic in nature. This factor is likely to restrain the lithium market to a certain extent in the next few years. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to aging and they need to be stored in a cool place to reduce the aging effect. Transportation of lithium by air, rail or road has to clear several safety tests and the regulations on transportation of large quantities of lithium vary across the countries
Rapid industrialization and high degree of competition among established players
Key players profiled in the report include SQM, Albermarle Corporation, FMC Corporation, Talison Lithium, Tianqi Lithium Corporation, Jiangxi Gangfeng Lithium, Orocorbe Limited Pty Ltd, and Neometals. Manufacturers’ strategy of expansion in developing economies is likely to strengthen their business operations as well as their position in the global lithium market in the next few years. Several manufacturers are engaged in the production of lithium in order to meet the demand from applications such as energy storage, glasses & ceramics, and greases & lubricants.
