Report summary

The lithium market continues to move at a very fast pace. Demand is forecast to show continued strong growth albeit with lower rates than in 2021. This will be coupled with additional supply from expansion projects as well as new assets starting production. We continue to forecast a very tight market in 2022 and 2023 where minor supply disruptions could change the balance. We provide a quarterly price forecast in this short-term market outlook.
