The Next Lithium Bull Run Is Taking Shape
In the early 2020s, lithium analysts largely underestimated the supply contribution of lepidolite, resulting in temporary price relief. However, we’re now seeing a repeat of that forecasting failure, but this time both on supply and demand side.
🚗🔋 Experts are once again underestimating explosive lithium demand growth driven by:
•Electric Vehicles (EVs)
•Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
•Electric Trucks & Buses
•Robotics & Automation
•Robotaxis & Flying Taxis
Meanwhile, on the supply side, the market is headed for trouble:
•Rising production costs vs falling prices are squeezing margins
•Stricter environmental regulations are slowing project approvals
•Few Tier-1 lithium projects are coming online fast enough
📉 Supply-Demand Outlook (my estimates)
•>4 million tonnes LCE of demand expected by 2030
•
