6 FAQs about [The impact of falling lithium prices on the energy storage sector]

Will Lithium prices continue to rise over the next decade?

Although lithium prices remain in free fall for the time-being, the energy transition away from fossil fuels and present lack of suitable alternatives suggest that demand for lithium-powered energy sources will continue rising over the next decade as governments attempt to meet clean energy goals.

How has a 'perfect storm' impacted the lithium market?

As Citibank termed it, a “perfect storm” has hit the lithium market, caused by destocking, deceleration in EV demand, and continued supply growth. The sudden deceleration in demand for lithium, particularly in the EV industry, caught suppliers by surprise, and as their stockpiles increased, this surplus placed downward pressure on prices.

Should Lithium prices be lower?

Though in the near term, while lower prices benefit consumers who were previously unable to purchase lithium-based technologies, including some green energy industries, suppliers will find it less profitable to invest in long-term efforts to increase production, leading to further market misalignments down the line.
