In 2022 & 2023, market players expected to sail in rough waters; might incur losses due to huge gap in currency translation followed by contracting revenues, shrinking profit margins & cost pressure on logistics and supply chain. Further, U.S. economy is expected to grow merely by 3% in 2022. Purchasing power in the country is expected to fell nearly by 2.5%.
On the other hand, European countries to see the worst coming in the form of energy crisis especially in upcoming winters!! Right after COVID-19, inflation has started gripping the economies across the globe. Higher than anticipated inflation, especially in western world had raised concerns for national banks and financial institutions to control the economic loss and safeguard the interest of the businesses. Increased interest rates, strong USD inflated oil prices, looming prices for gas and energy resources due to Ukraine-Russia conflict, China economic slowdown (~4% in 2022) disrupting the production and global supply chain and other factors would impact each industry negatively.
May, 2021: Pilbara Minerals announced its agreement with Sydney-based technology company Calix to jointly develop a new mid-stream refining process to produce lithium salt.
October, 2021: SQM invited R&D centers, universities, and SMEs to propose ideas for electromobility and energy storage progress aiming to reduce carbon footprint.
The global lithium mining market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of ~7% over the forecast period, i.e., 2022 – 2030. The growth of the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for lithium-based batteries for electric vehicles. The growing global demand for EVs, backed by initiatives to curb carbon emission, is projected to boost the market growth. Various other applications of lithium, including non-rechargeable batteries for pacemakers, ceramic and glass, flux additives for iron and steel, and others, are estimated to further boost the market growth. Moreover, increasing public-private investment in mining sector is foreseen to encourage the growth of the market.

The increasing battery-powered electric vehicle (BEV) sales is another primary factor expected to drive the market growth. According to the data by the International Energy Agency (IEA), 2,008,024 BEV were sold globally in 2020, up from 1,542,867 vehicles in 2019. The growing awareness amongst the public regarding the adoption of clean fuel to reduce vehicular pollution is anticipated to boost the market growth.
The market is segmented by application into batteries, glass, air conditioning equipment, and others, out of which, the batteries segment is anticipated to hold the notable share in the global lithium mining market over the forecast period on account of increasing sales of battery-powered vehicles, and other equipment. Lithium is extensively used for manufacturing rechargeable, as well as, non-rechargeable batteries, which is expected to boost the market growth.
The chemical industry is a major component of the economy. According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, in 2020, for the U.S., the value added by chemical products as a percentage of GDP was around 1.9%. Additionally, according to the World Bank, Chemical industry in the U.S. accounted for 16.43% to manufacturing value-added in 2018. With the growing demand from end-users, the market for chemical products is expected to grow in future. According to UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme), the sales of chemicals are projected to almost double from 2017 to 2030. In the current scenario, Asia Pacific is the largest chemical producing and consuming region. China has the world’s largest chemical industry, that accounted for annual sales of approximately more than USD 1.5 trillion, or about more than one-third of global sales, in recent years. Additionally, a vast consumer base and favourable government policies have boosted investment in China’s chemical industry. Easy availability of low-cost raw material & labour as well as government subsidies and relaxed environmental norms have served as a production base for key vendors globally. On the other hand, according to the FICCI (Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry), the chemical industry in India was valued at 163 billion in 2019 and it contributed 3.4% to the global chemical industry. It ranks 6th in global chemical production. This statistic shows the lucrative opportunity for the investment in businesses in Asia Pacific countries in the upcoming years.
On the basis of geographical analysis, the global lithium mining market is segmented into five major regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa region. The market in Asia Pacific region is estimated to witness noteworthy growth over the forecast period on the back of increasing mining activities, and growth in the manufacturing industry. Moreover, lower labor cost in the APAC region is estimated to fuel the lithium mining market in the region.
The market in the North America region is anticipated to gain the largest market share throughout the forecast period owing to the increasing demand for lithium batteries in the automotive sector. Moreover, the increasing adoption of EVs in the region is anticipated to boost the market growth. According to a report by the IEA, 1,138,654 BEV were actively being used in the U.S. in 2020.
