Lithium is a light alkali metal produced mainly as lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide for rechargeable batteries in electric vehicles, grid energy storage and portable electronics, with secondary uses in ceramics, glass and lubricants. It is a strategic commodity at the core of the battery supply chain and energy transition, and prices are driven by product grade (carbonate vs hydroxide), ore type and processing route (brine vs hard‑rock/spodumene), production capacity and lead times, recycling rates, and wider demand, energy and geopolitical factors.
