Prime determinants of growth
The proliferation of smartphones, laptops, tablets, and other portable electronic devices drives the growth of the global lithium metal market. However, there have been concerns about potential supply constraints due to the limited number of lithium metal producers and the time it takes to bring new lithium metal mining operations online. This supply-demand imbalance can lead to price volatility and affect the availability of lithium for various industries. This factor is projected to restrain the growth of the lithium metal market during the forecast period.

Covid-19 Scenario
- The lithium metal market was negatively impacted due to the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, owing to its dependence on the aerospace, portable electronics, industrial, and other sectors. The pandemic disrupted supply chains worldwide, including those in the lithium industry.
- However, the demand for products and technologies that use lithium, such as electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems, witnessed an incline as economies reopened and economic activities resumed.
- The demand for electric vehicles has remained the same post-COVID-19 as consumers and governments continue to focus on sustainability and reduce carbon emissions, leading to increased demand for lithium-ion batteries.
The salt brine deposits segment to maintain its lead position during the forecast period
Based on source, the salt brine deposits segment accounted for the largest share in 2022, contributing to around three-fourths of the global lithium metal market revenue. The lithium industry is focusing on extensive R&D to explore new technologies and applications for lithium. While lithium metal from salt brine deposits may not be commonly used nowadays, advancements in battery technology or other specialized applications are projected to create new opportunities for its utilization in the future. The Lithium-Rich Clays segment, on the other hand, would cite the fastest CAGR OF 12.3% by 2032.

The batteries segment to maintain its lead position during the forecast period
Based on the application, the batteries segment accounted for the largest share in 2022, contributing to nearly three-fifths of the global lithium metal market revenue. The global shift toward electric vehicles is one of the primary drivers of the increase in demand for lithium metal used for producing lithium-ion batteries. There is a growing focus on transitioning from fossil-fuel-powered vehicles to electric cars as countries and regions aim to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change. Furthermore, the widespread use of smartphones, laptops, tablets, and other portable electronic devices has contributed significantly to the demand for lithium metal for producing lithium-ion batteries. The same segment is also projected to showcase the fastest CAGR of 12.4% from 2023 to 2032.
Asia-Pacific to maintain its dominance by 2032
Based on region, Asia-Pacific held the highest market share in terms of revenue in 2022, accounting for more than two-thirds of the global lithium metal market and is projected to register the highest CAGR of 12.2% during the forecast period. The rapid pace of urbanization and industrial development in countries like China and India has led to increased demand for consumer electronics and portable devices. This surge in demand for smartphones, laptops, and other electronic gadgets has driven the need for lithium-ion batteries, which utilize lithium metal. Moreover, the Asia-Pacific region is also home to significant lithium metal resources, particularly in Australia. Developing these local resources contributes to securing a stable supply of lithium metal for the region’s growing industries.
