[CICC: lithium supply and demand in 2021-2025 is expected to gradually move towards shortage, medium-and long-term lithium bull market fundamentals support strong] China International Capital Corporation research newspaper pointed out that lithium supply and demand is expected to gradually move towards shortage in 2021-2025, and the fundamental support of medium-and long-term lithium bull market is strong. On the demand side, the global transformation of new energy drives lithium demand into a new growth cycle. Power and energy storage batteries will contribute to the main increase in demand, with CAGR of 58 per cent and 32 per cent respectively. Global lithium demand is expected to increase from 430000 tons in 2021 to 1.5 million tons of LCE,CAGR37% in 2025. On the supply side, the short-term global supply is lower than expected, the long-term uncertainty in the development of lithium resources is high, and the supply response speed may be difficult to match the growth of demand.
