Recent estimates from McKinsey suggest a global demand of around 3 million metric tons of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) in 2030. In contrast, the total global LCE output for 2021 amounted to only 540,000 metric tons, a mere 18% of the anticipated need for 2030.
Companies involved in the extraction and processing of high grade lithium should expect to benefit as increased demand will drive lithium prices up, giving an uplift to company earnings.
