Executive Summary
According to the report, titled, “Lithium Chloride Market," the lithium chloride market size was valued at $1.7 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $3.2 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2022 to 2031.Lithium chloride is used in the production of metallic lithium, welding fluxes, and as an aqueous solution for humidity management in air conditioning. Lithium chloride is used in batteries, air treatment and others applications. It is also used for the production of lithium metal by electrolysis and it also used as a brazing flux for aluminum in automobile parts. It is extremely hygroscopic and is commonly used in dehumidification systems in sectors like as food processing and horticulture to remove moisture from the air. Further, lithium chloride is becoming increasingly important in the creation of industrial products, particularly batteries for electronic gadgets and electric cars. The medical use of lithium chloride has gained traction worldwide. Lithium chloride is one of the most well-known mood stabilizers with antisuicidal effects and is nowadays being used as an agent for acute mania and as maintenance treatment in bipolar disorder. Further, process improvements have made lithium chloride an affordable solution for various industries.
The growth of the global lithium chloride industry is majorly attributable to its wide applications in various industries such as batteries, air treatment and others. Also, surge in use of lithium chloride in electronics industry is driving the lithium chloride market growth during the forecast period. Lithium chloride is used as electrolyte in batteries or further processed to produce lithium metal for lead and magnesium alloys, lithium hydride for high-purity silane, and lithium nitride used as catalyst. Lithium batteries can be used in many combinations of active materials for the anode, cathode, and electrolyte. Among all other industries, the use of lithium in secondary batteries has seen the most market growth. Lithium chloride is also in demand in smartphones, tablets, smart watch, camera, and pacemakers, due to its ability to store up to 150 watt-hours of electricity into 1 kilogram of battery.
