Crashing lithium prices turn the industry from 'euphoria' to 'despair.' What's next? The critical metal used to make electric vehicle batteries, once described as " the new oil," has been crashing in price amid a slowdown in EV demand.
While in the short term, this price crash is a boon for those who previously struggled to purchase lithium and some green industries that consume lithium, in the long term, this price collapse will prove damaging to the green energy industry.
Fears over another crash, current capital losses, and a lack of production increase even when input prices are at rock bottom may stymie efforts to increase lithium production for years. This price crash should remind everyone that green energy is just as susceptible to market forces as its competitors in the fossil fuels industry.
After hitting an all-time high of CNY 595,000 per tonne ($86,170 per tonne) in November 2022, lithium carbonate prices in China have sunk to a 13-month low of CNY 362,500 per tonne ($52,500 per tonne) in March 2023, good for a nearly 40% correction as a confluence of negative catalysts conspired to end lithium's biggest rally ever.
The price of battery-grade lithium carbonate has crashed in the last 12 months. This downward pressure is attributed to oversupplied markets in Asia, primarily because the global adoption rate of electric vehicles has notably slowed amid high interest rates.
As EV demand and investment exploded early this decade, the lithium industry initially struggled to keep up. Forecasts of huge shortages drove panic buying among carmakers, which rushed to ink supply deals and even bought directly into mining projects to guarantee access to metal.
