Lithium for an electric future
Increases in battery demand for EVs will be a strong driver of lithium consumption in the next decade. Global EV penetration is expected to reach around 21 percent by 2025.
By 2030, the global consumption of lithium is expected to surpass two million metric tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent, more than doubling the demand forecast for 2025.
