Commodity Market Report
Global lithium short-term outlook February 2022
Report summary
Global sales of electric vehicles at the end of 2021 and into 2022 have resulted in continued strong demand for lithium chemicals. Bringing on new capacity to meet this demand is challenging and prices have continued to increase to record levels. In the coming two years we see a strong response by the lithium producers which coupled with a slowdown in lithium demand growth will allow prices to slowly moderate over time.
