In 2023, batteries were by far the largest end-usage of lithium worldwide. This application accounted for 87 percent of lithium consumption that year, while use in ceramics and glass made up another four percent. Increases in battery demand will continue to be a strong driver of lithium consumption in the near future, as lithium-ion battery technology is used extensively in the production of electric vehicles.
