    Quick Summary

    The Brine Lithium Mining market is expected to grow 2.2x by 2031, driven by the increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles.

    A dynamic shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) has been witnessed owing to the implementation of stringent regulations to curb carbon emission and mitigate challenges posed by rising fuel prices. According to a report by the International Energy Agency, sales of electric cars totalled 2.1 million units in 2019 across the world, projecting year-over-year growth of 40% in 2019.

    Rise in EV sales is propelling the demand for vehicle batteries such as lithium-ion (li-ion) Hydroxide battery, which is in turn, creating lucrative growth opportunities for the market.

    Several Brine lithium mining companies are acquiring more land for increasing the production of lithium and capitalize on the increasing demand from various industries. For instance, Tianqi, a Chinese mining and manufacturing company, announced acquiring IGO Ltd, a mining company in Australia, to increase its production of lithium hydroxide in April 2021.

    On the back of these factors, the market is expected to expand at a robust CAGR of 7% through 2031.
