The global lithium supply glut is predicted to shrink by half to around 80,000 tons equivalent of lithium carbonate (LCE) from nearly 150,000 last year, according to Antaike, China's state-owned ...
Lithium prices. The price of lithium carbonate started to rise in 2021 after slumping in 2020 and peaked in early 2022 close to $80,000 per ton. Demand for electric vehicles around the world is the primary cause for the price rise. In 2021, electric vehicle sales doubled to 6.6 million from 2020. [32]
Lithium prices have surged roughly 500% year over year amid heightened electric vehicle demand, triggering a global race to find and extract more.

Vulcan will supply 6,000 to 17,000 tonnes of lithium annually to the French automaker from its geothermal brine deposits in Germany starting in 2026, the companies said.
The enrichment by evaporation process may require up to one-and-a-half years, when the brine reaches a lithium content of 6%. [118] The final processing in this example is done near the city of Antofagasta on the coast where pure lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide, and lithium chloride are produced from the brine. [118]
