Global demand for lithium presents a significant opportunity for Australia and Australian lithium companies.

Australia remains the world’s largest lithium miner , supplying nearly 30 percent of global output in 2024, though its dominance is easing as other lithium-producing countries such as Zimbabwe, Argentina and Brazil scale up production. The surge in supply has pressured prices, with battery-grade spodumene trading below US$800 per tonne , prompting some Australian producers to cut output or delay projects.

Despite the slowdown, demand fundamentals remain strong. Global lithium demand jumped nearly 30 percent in 2024 to 220,000 tonnes, fueled by a 35 percent surge in electric vehicle sales.
