NEW in-depth strategic forecast study!
The Lithium Industry: Market Projections and Company Strategies to 2013
With the current global focus on sustainable energy sources, lithium has become a hot topic of discussion. There is a plethora of mainstream media articles, statesmen and legislations endorsing or mandating the uptake of hybrid and electric vehicles as a means to reducing the reliance on fuel and the Middle East for oil. Consequently, lithium-Ion batteries for automotives have become the new buzz word and the expectation is that lithium demand will soar.
But what is reality over the media hype surrounding future lithium demand? What amounts of lithium would be needed to meet future electric vehicle battery requirements and will there be enough supply to meet demand?
The Lithium Industry: Market Projections and Company Strategies to 2013 is a brand new strategic forecast study undertaken in collaboration with Metal Bulletin Research and Industrial Minerals – leading experts in providing in-depth, independent analysis and market intelligence on the global metals, mining and non-metallic minerals industries.
