According to the presented materials, global lithium resources reached 115 million tons, having increased by a little more than 9% over the year. As a year earlier, the largest lithium resources are concentrated in Bolivia and Argentina - 23 and 22 million tons, respectively.
Total global resources of Lithium are estimated to be about 98 million tonnes. Of this total resource, only about a quarter (26 million tonnes) are proven reserves.
The lithium mining market will grow from USD 4.2 billion in 2025 to USD 8.5 billion by 2035, driven by rising demand for lithium in EVs and energy storage.
It''s also receiving increasing attention as a critical mineral in batteries for electric cars and storage for renewable energy. Just a handful of countries supply the world''s lithium.
In this article, we consider trade of three key minerals needed for batteries—graphite, lithium, and cobalt—among China and key global regions.
