• Executive Summary
• Lithium is the lightest metal, has strong
  electrochemical potential and is highly reactive
  element making it flammable and potentially
  explosive when exposed to air and water. The
  metal does not occur in elemental form due its
  high reactivity and found in lithium containing
  minerals in hard rock deposits, lithium rich
  clays and brine flats.
• Lithium has a number of unique properties
  including high electrochemical reactivity, a low
  thermal expansion co-efficient and high specific
  heat capacity. It is these properties which allow
  Lithium to be used in a wide range of industrial
  applications, including ceramics, lubricants and
  glass, but the largest (and highest growth
  segment) of the global lithium market is its use
  in the manufacture of Lithium-ion (Li-ion)
  batteries.
• Lithium-ion batteries have become the most
  important application of lithium and storage
  technology in the areas of portable and mobile
  applications (e.g. laptops, cell phones,
  smartphones, tablets, power tools, medical
  devices electric bicycles, electric cars) since
  around 2000.
• The key factors driving the growth of the lithium
  demand are Decrease in the lithium-ion battery
  costs, rise in global electric vehicle market and
  growing integration of complicated electronics
  energy recovery systems. Some of the noteworthy
  trends and developments of this industry are
  lithium in the batteries, the technological edge,
  emerging energy storage market, improvement in
  the lithium-ion battery, lithium-ion batteries
  demand to accelerate with high investments and
  teslas entry into the lithium-ion market.
  However, the expansion of lithium demand is
  hindered by life span, charging time, specific
  energy and specific power and safety issues.
• The report Global Lithium Market provides an
  in-depth analysis of the lithium demand on a
  global scale discussing its major segments along
  with the lithium-ion batteries market. The major
  trends, growth drivers as well as issues being
  faced by the industry are being presented in this
  report. The industry comprises few large players
  such as Albemarle Corporation, SQM, FMC
  Corporation and Orocobre Limited. All these
  companies have been profiled in the present
  report highlighting their key financials and
  business strategies for growth.
