LITHIUM DEMAND
Lithium Demand
In an electric future, batteries will be as vital to transportation as oil is today. By 2026, it is estimated that the lithium market will reach $91.9 billion USD. However, as the adoption of electric vehicles rapidly grows, present lithium supply levels will be unable to meet demand, predicting a lithium shortage by 2025.
Lithium: Investing in the Future of World Energy and Transportation
Lithium is essential to an electric world. Help power the future.
