Lithium carbonate is one of the key materials used in the manufacture of Li-ion electric vehicle batteries, an industry that has grown rapidly over the years. This growing demand proportionally boosted manufacturers’ revenues during the historical period until the Chinese government proposed landslide measures to cut EV subsidies, adversely affecting demand for lithium carbonate in EV applications. For years, there has been constant demand from pharmaceutical manufacturers. These factors will all impel the growth of Lithium Carbonate Market steadily up to the Medium Term Forecast Period, 2020-2030.

Lithium Carbonate Market Manufacturers: Key Strategies
The global lithium carbonate market is highly consolidated in nature. The big three of the market – SQM, Albemarle, and Livent (divested company from FMC) are key market players accounting for more than 70% of the global supply of lithium carbonate. The market has high entry barriers, owing to difficult access to lithium mines and the high cost of production.
