Market Overview:
The global lithium metal market is expected to grow at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for lithium metal in various applications such as alloy, pharmaceutical & intermediate, battery and others. Lithium ore is the most commonly used type of lithium metal and it accounted for a majority share of the global market in 2017. However, salt lake brine is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period owing to its growing demand from battery manufacturers. North America was the largest regional market for lithium metal in 2017 and it is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period.
Product Definition:
A soft, silver-white metal that is the lightest of all metals and has the lowest melting point. It is used in batteries, psychiatric drugs, and nuclear reactors.
Salt Lake Brine:
Salt Lake Brine is a solution of sodium chloride (NaCl) and calcium sulfate. It's an industrial by-product obtained during the processing of brine from oilfields. The solution has high concentration of salt and calcium sulfate, which are used as de-icing materials during snow removal operations in roads and highways.
Lithium Ore:
Lithium is a chemical element produced by the process of mineralization. It is the lightest of all metals and has a atomic number 3. The lithium present in the earth's crust is found in combination with other elements such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, and calcium. Lithium occurs naturally as well as can be extracted from minerals including monazite and bastnaesite.
Application Insights:
The battery application segment led the market and accounted for more than 45% of the global revenue share in 2017. The growing demand for electric vehicles is expected to have a positive impact on the lithium metal market over the forecast period. Increasing investments by governments in promoting electric vehicle production are also likely to benefit industry growth over the coming years.
The other applications include energy storage, glass, and others such as fertilizers and steel making materials. The increasing use of lithium metal products in glass manufacturing is expected to drive product demand from 2018 to 2030 on account of rising consumption in windows and skylights applications at a CAGR of XX%.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region has witnessed a growing demand for lithium-ion batteries, which is likely to propel industry growth. China accounted for more than half of global production owing to low manufacturing cost coupled with availability of cheap labor and raw materials.
The European market was valued at USD X million in 2017 and is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period on account of increasing R&D activities related to battery energy storage systems (ESS) along with rising electric vehicles sales in countries such as Germany, France, Italy and Russia. In addition Lithium-ion battery manufacturers are setting up their plants near Aalborg University in Denmark due Lithium being an abundant mineral resource there unlike other major components such as cobalt that are only found in few places worldwide thus making it an ideal spot for ESS cell manufacturers looking forward long term contracts from OEMs & ODM companies.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for electric vehicles: The global lithium-ion battery market is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 20% from 2016 to 2020. This is mainly due to the increasing demand for electric vehicles (EVs). Lithium-ion batteries are used in EVs as they offer high energy density, long life, and fast charging capability.
- Growing use of lithium in consumer electronics: Lithium is also used in consumer electronics such as laptops, tablets, smartphones, and digital cameras. It helps improve the performance of these devices by providing high power and longer run times.
- Rising demand from the grid storage market: Grid storage refers to the storage of electrical energy by utilities for later use in order to meet peak load demands or provide backup power during outages. The global grid storage market is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 30% from 2016 to 2020 owing to the increasing need for reliable and efficient electricity supply worldwide. Lithium-ion batteries are increasingly being used for grid storage applications due their high energy density and long life cycle..
