Strategic Forecast Study:
NEW for 2011 - Global Lithium Market Outlook: Projects and Strategies to 2020 for a new era of demand
Following Metal Bulletin Research’s (MBR) and Industrial Mineral’s (IM) 2009 focus on a lithium industry on the verge of a boom, the NEW Global Lithium Market Outlook: Projects and Strategies to 2020 for a new era of demand is a much needed successor to this study.
MBR and IM have conducted interviews with over 75 producers, end-users and key players in the lithium industry. With the focus on lithium carbonate, chloride and hydroxide new critical analyses and projections include:
• Comprehensive supply and demand forecasts by major country out to 2020;
• Lithium carbonate price forecasts out to 2020;
• In-depth analytical focus on Chile, Afghanistan, China and Argentina;
• The impact of hybrid and full electric vehicles to the lithium market – the emergence of the Nissan LEAF;
• A unique ground-floor up-analysis of the global electric vehicles’ market with specific data revealed including detailed analysis and forecasts of emerging electric vehicles’ potential by car model, analysis of kWh data and the specific volume unit lithium demand per car model;
• Full analysis of the trends in battery recycling on lithium demand;
• SWOT analysis for leading lithium producers including SQM, Chemetall, FMC and more;
• In depth analysis of glass, aluminium, pharmaceuticals, and portable electronics;
• Detailed independent recommendations on competitive strategies to be adopted by producers and investors.
This study will reflect on the developments of the lithium industry and consider the likely outcome over the next ten years.
It will demonstrate electric vehicle demand through analysis of the electric vehicle market, estimating how many of each vehicle models will be produced and the amount of lithium required. Additionally we consider other key end-user markets for this important mineral and thus provide our readers with a thorough understanding of lithium demand dynamics.
It is evident that we are entering a paradigm shift with respect to how we fulfil our energy requirements – this brings with it significant investment opportunity.
