This is a list of countries by lithium mine production from 2018 onwards. [1]
Australia accounted for 52% of global lithium production in 2021 and was the #1 lithium mining country in the world. Chile ranked #2 with its 24.5% share followed by China's 13.2% share.
Combined with Japan and Korea, the countries account for 95% of lithium battery production in the world. [4] China has the fourth-largest known lithium reserve with 1 million tons, behind Chile, Australia, and Argentina. Thus making them one of the biggest exports and capable candidates for developing lithium battery technologies.

LFP has become widely used in China in the 2020s, while in most other countries NMC and NCA are currently dominant. [4] [5] Securing the supply chain for these materials is a major world economic issue. [6] It has been estimated that battery recycling can provide up to 60% of market demand for the three critical elements. [7]
