Analysis of Global Lithium Resource Supply and Demand Status
With the sustained high-speed development of the global new energy vehicle industry,the demand for lithium battery cathode materials is increasingly strong,and the usage of major raw materials such as cobalt,nickel,lithium,and manganese continues to increase,however,China is relatively lacking in these non-ferrous metal resources.From 2020 to 2022,lithium salt prices experienced a major cycle of sharp fluctuations.More and more alternative materials are developed,such as sodium ion batteries,hydrogen fuel cells,and vanadium titanium batteries,however,it will take time from maturity to form true alternatives.At present,over 87%of lithium is used in the field of lithium batteries,and the market price of lithium salts fluctuates completely with the demand of the lithium battery application market,with the highest price being nearly 15 times the lowest price.It is necessary to combine the distribution characteristics of metal quantity of global lithium resources,summarize the changes in the global lithium resource supply and demand market,and then conduct a global lithium resource supply and demand balance analysis,in order to provide some reference for practitioners.
