Lithium Mining Market to Total US$ 3.1 Bn against Backdrop of Burgeoning Electric Vehicle Sales

NEW YORK, Oct. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Fact.MR – A Market Research and Competitive Intelligence Provider: The demand outlook for global lithium mining market is anticipated to total US$ 3.1 Bn by 2031-end, projects Fact.MR. Increasing demand for lithium in manufacturing glass & ceramics, polymers, flux powder, and batteries is favoring the market growth.

A dynamic shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) has been witnessed owing to the implementation of stringent regulations to curb carbon emission and mitigate challenges posed by rising fuel prices. According to a report by the International Energy Agency, sales of electric cars totaled 2.1 million units in 2019 across the world, projecting year-over-year growth of 40% in 2019.

Rise in EV sales is propelling the demand for vehicle batteries such as lithium-ion (li-ion) battery, which is in turn, creating lucrative growth opportunities for the market.

Several lithium mining companies are acquiring more land for increasing the production of lithium and capitalize on the increasing demand from various industries. For instance, Tianqi, a Chinese mining and manufacturing company, announced acquiring IGO Ltd, a mining company in Australia, to increase its production of lithium hydroxide in April 2021.

On the back of these factors, the market is expected to expand at a robust CAGR of 7% through 2031.

Besides this, increasing application of li-ion batteries across grid storage, medical devices, and consumer electronics such as smartphones, digital cameras, and laptops among others is driving the market. On account of this, sales of lithium mining are expected to rise at 8.3% by 2031 with increasing production of batteries, as per Fact.MR.

"Leading manufacturers are extensively emphasizing on adopting advanced technologies to optimize lithium mining operations and enhance the recovery of lithium from brines to address the increasing demand for lithium. This is expected to create lucrative growth opportunities for market players," says a Fact.MR analyst.

Key Takeaways from the Lithium Mining Market Study

  • North America market is projected to total US$ 150 million in 2021, owing to the increasing demand for li-ion batteries across the U.S. and Canada.
  • Latin America is expected to dominate the global market, accounting for over US$ 615 million of overall sales in 2021 backed by leading lithium mining and manufacturing countries such as Chile, Argentina, and Bolivia
  • The lithium mining market in China is forecast to expand at 8.5% CAGR, accounting for over 33% of global revenue share through 2031.
  • Based on type, lithium carbonate, being the most commonly generated product through the lithium mining process, is estimated to dominate the segment through 2031
  • In terms of source, hard rock is anticipated to emerge as the most remunerative segment, favored by the ease in the extraction of lithium from the source.

Key Drivers

  • Increasing investment in the mining industry and surging demand for li-ion batteries across prominent regions such as North America and Europe is expected to drive the lithium mining market.
  • Rising mining activities, presence of cheap labor, and high reserves of lithium in China and India are expected to accelerate the expansion of the lithium mining market in Asia Pacific.

Key Restraints

  • Volatile raw material prices is expected to act as a challenge for emerging players, affecting the growth in the market negatively

Explore Fact.MR's Coverage on the Chemical & Materials Domain –

Lithium Carbonate Market- Lithium carbonate is a major component in the production of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles, an industry that has seen remarkable growth in recent years. During the historical period, this expanding demand lifted manufacturer revenues proportionately, until the Chinese government announced catastrophic policies to decrease EV subsidies, negatively impacting demand for lithium carbonate in EV applications. Pharmaceutical makers have maintained a consistent demand over the years. All of these reasons are expected to propel the lithium carbonate industry forward.

Lithium Ingots Market- Lithium ingots are the major products extracted from lithium mines after exploration and processing. Because of the low cost of production, lithium ingots are quite affordable. Furthermore, the substance is widely used as an electrode in electric vehicles (EVs). The product's economic and technical significance far beyond its use as a battery anode. The fact that batteries drive lithium demand has become universal. As a result, the product's long-term market growth is significantly correlated with the growth of the battery market.

Lithium-ion Battery Cathode Market- Lithium-ion battery cathode market growth is expected to be driven by increasing use of lithium-ion battery cathodes in energy storage systems, increased demand for electric vehicles, and global industrialization in the coming years. Since a few years, sales of lithium-ion battery cathodes have been on the rise. Recent advancements in battery technology, acceptance of lithium-ion battery cathodes in electric vehicles, and development of lithium-ion batteries for next-generation consumer electronic products and services, such as medical wearables, are all contributing to the market's growth.
