Lithium is one of the most strategically important raw materials in the energy transition. As a key component in batteries, it plays a central role in electromobility and energy storage. For investors, the market is dynamic—shaped by technological progress, geopolitical influences, and growing demand.
The lithium price is currently under pressure, as supply has expanded faster than demand. At the same time, interest rate policies, Chinese export data, and production quotas from South America are influencing short-term price movements. Experts expect a market shakeout and stabilization in the medium to long term.
