This statistic depicts the total consumption of lithium worldwide from 2008 to 2016. In 2016, the total global consumption of lithium reached 212,719 metric tons of lithium carbonate equivalent. Increases in battery demand will be a strong driver of lithium consumption in the near future, but producers are currently limited in their ability to match demands.
