Lithium carbonate ranks first among major companies in 2019, accounting for about 16.09%.
And it also pointed out that compared with the recent trend of daily K line of Ganfeng lithium industry, Tianqi lithium industry has a certain supplementary demand.

Supply and demand improve, lithium price meets inflection point
Affected by the epidemic and the low lithium price, the global lithium resources expansion project has been suspended and delayed on a large scale. Since July, domestic and South American lithium carbonate prices have shown signs of rebound. The accelerated rise of the overseas electric car market, the increase in the penetration rate of 5G mobile phones, and the counter-trend growth in segments such as electric bicycles and TWS headphones have made lithium consumption in the battery sector remain highly resilient.
The agency believes that since 2020, Australian mines and Chinese companies have signed long orders to restart to further clarify the bottom signal of lithium prices. At present, the lithium price is over-falling, and the de-inventory of the industry is basically completed; while the global trend of automobile electrification has been established, the demand for power batteries is growing rapidly, which directly boosts the demand for lithium salt, and the industry will usher in upward repair.
Guotai Junan Research News believes that the demand for electric vehicles is higher than expected, and we judge that in the second half of 2021, the lithium industry will usher in the inflection point of supply and demand from the repair of industry surplus to the state of tight balance between supply and demand. Considering that the current Altura is likely to be cleared and shut down, the supply capacity of the whole industry will be reduced by 5%, the inflection point between supply and demand will come ahead of schedule, the lithium industry is expected to usher in a shortage, and lithium prices are expected to reverse.
