Lithium end-use share in the global market 2022
In 2022, batteries were by far the largest end-usage of lithium worldwide. This application accounted for 80 percent of lithium consumption that year, while use in ceramics and glass made up another seven 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.
