This report is the fourth edition of a study of the lithium and its compounds market globally and in Russia.
Market monitoring has been conducted since 2000.
The objective of the study is to analyze the market for lithium and its compounds—lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide monohydrate, lithium chloride, lithium metal, etc.
The objects of the study are lithium-containing ores and brines, lithium-containing mineral concentrates, lithium compounds, and lithium metal.
This work is a desk study. The following sources were used: data from statistical committees of the EAEU countries (including Rosstat, the National Statistical Committee of the Republic of Belarus, the Bureau of National Statistics of the Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan); international databases of the UN (UNdata), World Bank, and Eurostat; international and European trade data (UN Comtrade, Trade Map); the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation (until 2022); the Unified Information System in Procurement; rail transportation statistics; SBIS databases; Foreign specialized companies; annual and quarterly reports of securities issuers; industry and regional press, conference materials, websites of companies producing and consuming the products under study; scientific and technical literature (e.g., elibrary), the Federal Institute of Industrial Property (FIPS) patent database; the InfoMine database, etc.
Research timeframe: 2000-2024; 2025 – estimate; forecast – 2026-2035.
Research geography: global market and the Russian Federation market.
