This statistic depicts a projection of the worldwide demand for lithium for rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries from 2019 to 2030. In 2030, the demand for lithium for non-rechargeable batteries is expected to reach 5,034 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.
