According to the research report titled ‘Global Lithium Mining Market Size study with COVID-19 impact, by Type (Lithium Hydroxide, Lithium Carbonate), by Application (Batteries, Glass, Grease, Air Conditioning Equipment) and Regional Forecasts 2020-2026’, available with Market Study Report, global lithium mining market is expected to grow substantially during 2020-2026.
 

Lithium mining process is mainly used to acquire lithium from several sources like hard rocks and brines. It is a solid and lightweight metal found in nature. Lithium possesses various properties like longer stability, high energy density, thermal resistance, and require low maintenance. Owing to its exceptional properties, lithium is used in wide range of applications such as battery, glass, and grease among others. The growth of global lithium mining market is primarily driven by increased use of lithium in novel consumer electronic battery technologies.
 

Surging demand for lithium storage batteries in electric vehicles, rising consumption of lightweight metal in laptops and smartphones, and increasing usage in air regeneration applications are other factors driving the growth of global lithium mining market. According to Edison Electric Institute, global electric vehicles sales reached 312,000 in first quarter of 2018, which was an increase of 58% as compared to first quarter of 2017.
