Global Lithium Consumption to Grow 9.5% YoY Through 2020, According to In-demand Report by Merchant Research & Consulting
London, UK (PRWEB) April 18, 2014 -- From 2007 to 2012, the world mine production of lithium minerals and brine followed a stable upward trend. In 2012, it surpassed the 664,720 tonnes mark. Meanwhile, the global mine lithium production grew at a stable rate during the same period, and in 2012, it climbed to 38,000 tonnes of Li content, growing 6.8% YoY. Argentina and Chile were the dominant producers and exporters of lithium ore materials in the world, both accounting for nearly 34.2% of the overall total supply. Meantime, China and Russia also possess rich lithium reserves, but it is currently cheaper for these countries to import lithium ore material rather than mine their own reserves.
The world lithium production is poised for stable growth in the offing, driven considerably by the lithium batteries industry. During 2013-2020, the world lithium consumption is expected to grow 9.5% YoY. By 2020, around 25% of the overall lithium production volume is expected to be supplied by the new market entrants. Furthermore, in 2016, the world production of lithium minerals and brine is forecast to reach 920,600 tonnes; while the global lithium production is anticipated to climb to 51,300 tonnes of Li content.
