簡介目錄

2022年11月,由於供應短缺,碳酸鋰價格上漲至50萬元/噸。 針對前所未有的碳酸鋰價格,寧德時代向電動車整車廠提供每噸20萬元的碳酸鋰回饋。

然而,隨著中國電動車補貼削減的消息傳出以及電池製造商庫存增加,碳酸鋰的價格開始下跌,截至2023年4月暴跌至15萬元/噸。

隨著電動車時代的到來,二次電池佔鋰使用總量的比例將從2014年的40%增加到2023年的80%左右。 因此,電動車市場越來越受到鋰市場變化的影響。 然而,採礦市場的交貨時間長(挖掘和生產之間的週期)特徵使其難以滿足電動車市場成長對鋰的高需求。 受此影響,鋰價波動加大,直接影響電動車製造商和二次電池製造商的利潤率。

目前,鋰礦開採僅在智利、澳洲等少數國家進行。 然而,玻利維亞、伊朗、印度等國相繼宣布發現龐大新鋰礦床的消息,歐洲、非洲等多個國家也報告將開採鋰。 SNE Research預測,2030年鋰礦開採國家總數將達24個。

有關鋰礦發現的報告引發了人們的希望,即這些礦藏足以滿足電動車市場的需求,但這種假設是有缺陷的。 勘探階段可商業開採的礦量僅有少量,實際開採需要5至10年的漫長週期。 除了全球儲量的成長之外,鋰礦企業和礦場的實際供應情況也需要密切監控。 二次電池市場供給預測與需求平衡是預測未來上游市場策略與價格波動的重要手段。

本報告針對全球電池用金屬鋰市場進行研究分析,提供整體市場狀況、各國政策策略、鋰金屬供需及價格預測等資訊。

簡介目錄
Product Code: 205

In Nov 2022, the price of lithium carbonate rose to 500,000 yuan (about KRW 91,245,000) per ton due to shortage in supply. With such unprecedented price of lithium carbonate, CATL even offered lithium carbonate rebate of 200,000yuan (about KRW 36.5 million) per ton to electric vehicle OEMs.

However, the price of lithium carbonate began to fall as news has been spreading of China's reduced electric vehicle subsidies and increased inventory in battery manufacturers, and plunged to 150,000 yuan (about 27.37 million won) per ton as of Apr 2023.

With the advent of the electric vehicle era, the proportion of secondary batteries in the total lithium usage has increased from 40% in 2014 to about 80% in 2023. As such, the electric vehicle market has been increasingly influenced by the impact of changes in the lithium market. However, the long lead time (the time from mine excavation to production), the nature of the mining market, made it difficult to satisfy the increased lithium demand due to the growth of the electric vehicle market. As a result, volatility of lithium price is increasing and has direct impact on corporate margins of EV makers and secondary battery manufacturers.

Currently, lithium mining is taking place in a small number of countries, including Chile and Australia. However, news of discovery of huge amount of lithium deposits has been newly announced in countries such as Bolivia, Iran, and India, and several countries including Europe and Africa have reported that they will mine lithium. SNE Research predicts that there will be total 24 lithium mining countries in 2030.

Reports of the discovery of lithium mines are raising hopes that the deposits will fully meet the demand from the electric vehicle market, but there are errors in this assumption. Only a few mines are commercially viable in the stage of exploration, and there is long lead time of 5-10 years till actual mining. Apart from the increase in global reserves, the actual supply of the lithium mining companies and the mines should be closely monitored. The balance between supply forecast and demand in the secondary battery market will be an important means for future upstream market strategies and predicting price fluctuations.

This report describes the overall market status, policies and strategies by different countries, and prediction of supply, demand, and price for lithium metal. Especially, forecast of the lithium demand in this report provides specific figures for each battery manufacturer and each cathode material product. And also, the report forecasts lithium supply by considering the production volume of all mining projects. From these two figures, we create a model for demand-supply balance scenario and predict price till 2030.

We hope that the report will help readers understand the overall lithium metal industry and prepare for future fluctuations of lithium raw material by looking at the outlook provided by the insightful report of SNE Research.

The strong points of this report are;

  • Lithium production forecast and lithium policies of existing and new lithium mining countries till 2030
  • Outlook for how major battery manufacturers secure lithium and consumption of lithium till 2030
  • Outlook for chemical composition of cathode materials and lithium demand by product till 2030

*LFP, Mid-Ni 523/622, High Ni NCM/NCMA Ni>80%, LCO, LCA, NMx, LMO, NCM 111/424.

  • A forecasting scenario of adjusted amount of lithium production based on supply and demand and the balance between supply and demand of lithium metal
  • Forecast of the lithium price based on processing cost and supply and demand in major mining countries till 2030
