This graphic uses exclusive data from our partner, Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, to rank the top lithium-ion battery producing countries by their forecasted capacity (measured in gigawatt-hours or GWh) in 2030. Chinese companies are expected to account for nearly 70% of global battery capacity by 2030, delivering over 6,200 gigawatt-hours.
It is projected that between 2022 and 2030, the global demand for lithium-ion batteries will increase almost seven-fold, reaching 4.7 terawatt-hours in 2030. Much of this growth can be attributed to the rising popularity of electric vehicles, which predominantly rely on lithium-ion batteries for power.
So, let’s take an insightful look into these top lithium producing countries: Australia tops the list of lithium-producing countries, with a production of 61,000 metric tons (MT) in 2022, up from 55,000 MT in 2021. The country extracts lithium directly from hard rock mines, specifically the mineral spodumene.
Lithium is the powerhouse behind rechargeable batteries. It’s seen a remarkable demand surge, driven by the growing adoption of electric vehicles and clean technologies. As a result, the global lithium-ion battery market has grown robustly. It was valued at $52 billion in 2022.
Also known as a metric ton, one tonne = 1,000 kg, or roughly 2,204.6 lbs. According to the Energy Institute, Canadaand all unlisted countries combined produced 3,600 tons of Lithium in 2023, for 1.8% of the global total. External sources place Canada's production at 3,400 tons, leaving the rest of the world's production at 200 tons for 2023.
As a result, the global lithium-ion battery market has grown robustly. It was valued at $52 billion in 2022. Experts project it will catapult to an impressive $194 billion by the end of the decade. This demand growth has sparked a significant uptick in global lithium production.
