A worldwide shortage for lithium could be on its way as demand for the metal ramps up, with some analysts forecasting that it could come as soon as 2025.
According to forecasts by S&P Global Commodity Insights, EV sales are set to reach 13.8 million in 2023, but will subsequently proceed to skyrocket to over 30 million by 2030.
While more lithium mines and mining exploration projects coming online could support burgeoning demand, that would only extend the runway for a few more years, according to Rystad Energy's estimates. "In the next couple of years, though the lithium supply may stay adequate at a world-level, regional supply imbalance is still inevitable," Zou added, noting regional mining and processing capacities in the U.S. and Europe might not be able to keep up with demand for EV batteries.
