Lithium Supply & Markets 2009

26 January 2009 - 28 January 2009

Interest and demand in lithium minerals has rocketed, driven by the increased importance and production of lithium-ion batteries as the next generation power source. In addition to the booming battery market, lithium's traditional staple markets including ceramics, glass, aluminium, pharmaceuticals, and polymers remain solid.

LSM09, a two day event in Chile, the heart of global lithium production, will put the supply of lithium carbonate, lithium chloride, and lithium hydroxide under the spot light.
