The global market for lithium-ion battery metals was sized at about 14.5 billion U.S. dollars in 2021. The largest end-use segment for the market was the global automotive industry, with the size of over 7.3 billion U.S. dollars that year. It is expected that the lithium-ion battery metal market will reach the size of some 286.1 billion U.S. dollars in 2031, and the automotive segment will be responsible for about a half of this value.
