Lithium is naturally occurring metal extracted from mineral spring and ores which has low density. It is used in ceramics, high strength/ low weight alloy and heat resistant glass which are mainly utilized in aircrafts.  Growth in construction and renovation activities has led to rise in demand for ceramic tiles and glass and ceramic wares which is likely to favour industry size. 

Lithium Compounds Market Outlook 

Growing demand for lithium batteries in electric automobiles owing to their low self-discharge rate, long life cycle, fast charging, high energy density and low weight will have positive impact on product demand. Stringent government norms over pollution control through vehicle carbon emissions supported by companies establishing strategic alliances to develop batteries and electric vehicles will escalate industry growth.  For instance, Toyota Corporation and BYD Company LTD announced an agreement to establish joint venture to conduct research on battery electric automotive vehicles (BEV) and anticipate establishing that in China by 2020. This factor will act as major driver towards product demand.
