“Amongst Type, the Brine segment would grow with significant CAGR during the forecast period”
Based on Type, the Lithium Metal Market is bifurcated into Hard Rock and Brine segments. The Hard Rock segment acquired a majority share in the Lithium Metal Market and is expected to register a substantial growth rate during the forecast period. Hard Rock Lithium metals are growing rapidly due to More flexibility, Faster processing, Higher quality, and Comparable costs compared to the brine metal segment. Moreover, the biggest end-user segment of lithium metal is battery manufacturing in which hard rock is preferred due to easier extraction over brine sources. This has caused most major mining companies to focus on expanding their hard rock lithium projects, giving a substantial boost to the hard rock market segment during the forecast period.
“Amongst Application, the Batteries category would grow with significant CAGR during the forecast period”
Based on Application, the Lithium Metal Market is divided into Batteries, Ceramic & Glass, and Others segments. The Batteries segment acquired a majority share in the Lithium Metal Market and is expected to showcase a substantial growth rate during the forecast period. Lithium metal has become a crucial component in the batteries segment due to its unique properties. Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in various applications, including smartphones, laptops, electric vehicles, and renewable energy storage systems. Lithium metal is highly reactive and has a high energy density, making it an ideal material for battery electrodes. It also has a low atomic weight, which means that it can store a large amount of energy in a small volume. However, lithium metal is also highly flammable and can be dangerous if not handled properly. Despite these challenges, the demand for lithium metal in the batteries segment is expected to continue to grow as the world transitions towards a more sustainable and electrified future.
“APAC to grow with high CAGR during the forecast period”
APAC registered the highest market share in the Lithium Metal Market and is expected to witness an influential CAGR in the forecasted period. The Lithium Metal market in the Asia Pacific region is experiencing significant growth, driven by the increasing demand from countries like China, India, Japan, and South Korea. Additionally, the presence of significant OEMs, Lithium producers, and battery device manufacturers in economies like India, China, and Japan is expected to further drive the Lithium Metal market in the Asia Pacific region. The region’s growing population, urbanization, and industrialization have led to a surge in demand for lithium-ion batteries, which are used in electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems. China is the largest producer and consumer of lithium in the APAC region. The increasing demand for lithium in APAC has led to the development of new lithium mining projects and the expansion of existing ones, making the region a key player in the global lithium market.
