Goldman Sachs predicts that in the next two years, the global supply of lithium will increase substantially at an average rate of 34%, with the increased supply mainly coming from Australia and China. Therefore, while a recovery in EV sales in the second and third quarters of this year may temporarily boost market sentiment, a potential surge in supply and downstream overcapacity will depress lithium prices in the medium term, according to Goldman Sachs.
