DERA Rohstoffinformationen 54 (2023). Raw Material Risk Assessment Lithium 2023
Due to its specific properties, lithium for rechargeable batteries will continue to be an indispensable, non-substitutable key component for e-mobility and the expansion and storage of renewable energies (wind, solar) in the coming decades.
In the updated study, DERA assesses the future market supply for lithium in six global and two European scenarios. Based on demand in 2020, demand could increase by a factor of four to eight by 2030.
Rohstoffinformationen 56 (2023). DERA Criticality List
As part of DERA's raw materials monitoring, DERA examines the supply concentration and country risk of the production of numerous mineral raw materials and their intermediate products at various stages of the value chain every two years.
The DERA Raw Materials List 2023 concludes that potential procurement risks exist for almost 46% of all mining, refining and trading products exists. The People's Republic of China continues to play a dominant role as the most important supplier of a large number of raw materials.
