Global lithium production is expected to increase at a CAGR of 13.9% over the forecast period. Credit: GlobalData. Global lithium production is expected to increase to 170.8 kilotons (kt) in 2023, an increase of 31.3% over 2022, with Australia and Argentina contributing to this growth.
While the restart of operations at the Wodgina lithium mine in June 2022 and the start of the Mount Finniss project in February 2023 will support production in Australia, an expected strong performance from existing mines coupled with the start of new projects will support production in Argentina.
General Motors is planning to establish four new battery factories in the United States, with a total capacity of 140 GWh per year. Additionally, Stellantis, the multinational automotive conglomerate, is in the process of building a new factory in Indiana, with an initial annual production capacity of 23 GWh.
In addition, the expected start of the Arcadia Lithium project in 2023, which has successfully completed trial production of lithium concentrates in March 2023, will further boost production.
Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile SA, Albemarle, Pilbara Minerals, Mineral Resources, Alkem and Livent are among the key lithium-producing companies in the world, together accounting for 100.4 million tonnes, or 77.2%, of the global lithium production in 2022.
The gigafactory plans to increase its capacity from 9 GWh in 2024 to 24 GWh by 2030. Taiwanese battery maker Prologium has chosen France as the location for its first overseas car battery plant. The company plans to invest over €5 billion in building a gigafactory in the northern French city of Dunkirk. (Credit: Prologium)
