[SMM Analysis] Restructuring of Lithium Carbonate Supply-Demand Pattern: Industry Chain Shifts Under Policy Dividends and Resource Constraints
When we shifted our perspective away from price fluctuations, we found that the lithium carbonate market in Q1 2026 was undergoing deeper structural changes. These changes were reflected not only in price changes, but also in policy-driven dynamics on the demand side, geopolitical constraints on the supply side, and the quiet transformation of lithium carbonate's role within the entire new energy industry chain.

In Q1 2026, China's lithium carbonate market entered a phase of fluctuating at highs, building on the strong rally at the 2025 year-end. Prices exhibited a typical "N-shaped" wide-ranging trajectory: a significant rise in January, a slight pullback in February, and another sharp rise in March. Behind this trajectory was a concentrated manifestation of the ongoing tug-of-war between upstream spot order holders holding back from selling and downstream buyers restocking on dips.
