6 FAQs about [The impact of lithium ore prices on battery companies]

How does battery technology affect lithium demand?

Long-term battery technology shifts and EV powertrain developments and their impact on lithium demand. A full review of lithium used in lithium-ion batteries, including the growing popularity of LFP, NMC and NCA battery cathode chemistries. Review of loadings of lithium by battery technology.

How will oversupply and softening demand affect lithium-ion batteries?

Oversupply and softening demand leading to falling prices for the critical mineral raise concerns about the potential impact on various industries, particularly those reliant on lithium-ion batteries, such as electric vehicles (EVs), renewable energy storage, and consumer electronics.

How much will lithium cost in 2025?

With mining cost ranging from $3,000/ton to $9,000/ton (Figure 1), lithium price could fall to the $10,000/ton level by around 2025, where the exact timing will depend on the actual EV market growth trajectory. Unlike short-term prices, long-term material prices are primarily determined by available reserve and ore grades.

How has a 'perfect storm' impacted the lithium market?

As Citibank termed it, a “perfect storm” has hit the lithium market, caused by destocking, deceleration in EV demand, and continued supply growth. The sudden deceleration in demand for lithium, particularly in the EV industry, caught suppliers by surprise, and as their stockpiles increased, this surplus placed downward pressure on prices.

What is the future of lithium-ion batteries?

The future of lithium-ion batteries, including threats and opportunities, and recycling potential. Analysis of existing and potential end-uses including consumer electronics demand, glass/ceramics and other non-battery end-use evolution. Supporting demand data to 2040 on lithium demand by end-use and lithium EV demand by region.

Will Lithium prices continue to rise over the next decade?

Although lithium prices remain in free fall for the time-being, the energy transition away from fossil fuels and present lack of suitable alternatives suggest that demand for lithium-powered energy sources will continue rising over the next decade as governments attempt to meet clean energy goals.
