Does China have a lithium monopoly?
This new subsidy-centric focus prompted policy adjustments, which introduced fresh funds for mining, resources exploration and processing machinery. Surprisingly, despite the ample supply of raw lithium globally, China has successfully secured a monopoly in the lithium market.
Why is China investing in lithium-ion batteries?
Chinese investments in lithium-rich countries like the "Lithium Triangle" (Argentina, Chile, and Bolivia) will allow it to further vertically integrate the supply chain for lithium-ion batteries. The Chinese government is aggressively pursuing the acquisition of materials crucial for the global green energy transition.
Why is China a leader in lithium-ion battery production & refining?
This dominance, fueled by strategic government support and meticulous vertical integration, has positioned China as the epicentre of lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery production and refining.
Does the lithium industry have a monopoly?
But the lithium industry does have one trick up its sleeve that complicates the laissez-faire, free-market approach. There’s a very strong tendency toward monopoly via vertical integration. This is most apparent in those hard rock, spodumene mines. The product from the mine itself is usually a 6 percent concentrate.
How big is China's Lithium-ion battery market in 2022?
In 2022, China held a staggering 75 percent of global battery manufacturing capacity. Notably, Chinese company Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. (CATL), the world's largest battery manufacturer, alone commanded a substantial 35 percent share of the global lithium-ion battery market during the first quarter of 2022.
How will China's Lithium mining contract affect the world?
The acquisition of the mining contract enables China’s exploitation of 80,000 tons of lithium; this latest expansion, representing 1.8% of China’s known lithium reserves, will further embolden Chinese resource dominance in global lithium markets. In 2021, China imported 39% of Chile’s lithium.
