According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, "Lithium Compounds Market," The lithium compounds market was valued at $7.1 billion in 2022, and is estimated to reach $33.5 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 16.9% from 2023 to 2032.
Lithium carbonate is used to treat maniac-depressive disorders (bipolar disorder) with medication. By restoring the equilibrium of neurotransmitters (natural substances in the brain), lithium carbonate is used to stabilize mood and reduce extreme behaviors. It decreases the intensity and frequency of hysteria. A lithium compound has been shown to reduce the risk of suicidal tendencies in patients with mental illness. According to the most recent data provided by the World Health Organization (WHO) on depression and suicide in 2019, more than 264 million people globally suffer from depression and approximately 800 thousand people commit suicide annually. Annually, suicide is the second leading cause of mortality among those aged 15 to 29. Lithium carbonate is increasingly used in the manufacturing of medications for mental health conditions as mental health awareness and the treatment of such illnesses increase. This further drives the market for lithium compounds.
One of the main factors inhibiting the growth of the lithium compounds market is the high operational costs associated with the production of lithium compounds. Owing to the high costs associated with lithium compound installation and administration, the market for lithium compounds is extremely constrained. In addition, fluctuating lithium prices are one of the most significant factors inhibiting the development of the lithium compounds market. The price of lithium carbonate increased by 32.02 % in May 2021, compared to 19.30 % in January 2021, according to data from Trading Economics. This fluctuation is one of the greatest hurdles faced by the market for lithium compounds.
The rise in adoption of lithium in smart grid electricity is anticipated to offer significant growth opportunities for market players. The market growth is expected to be positively influenced by increased investments in electricity grids. For instance, investments in electricity grids were estimated to reach $ 290 billion in 2021 by IEA, recovering from 2021 and surpassing the 2019 level of $ 270 billion. The investment in electricity grids signifies the recognition of the importance of modernizing and enhancing the efficiency of power infrastructure. As smart grid technologies gain momentum, the demand for advanced energy storage solutions such as lithium-based systems is expected to increase. Lithium batteries can provide reliable and scalable energy storage, enabling efficient integration of renewable energy sources, demand response management, and grid stability. By leveraging the capabilities of lithium in smart grid applications, utilities can optimize energy utilization, improve grid resilience, and enable more effective management of electricity generation, transmission, and distribution. These advancements create opportunities for market players in the lithium industry to cater to the surge in demand for energy storage solutions in the expanding smart grid electricity industry.
