the price “triple jump” has set a new record. The quotation of lithium carbonate has been close to 300000 yuan / ton. This company has the largest single spodumene mine in Asia
Since this year, the new energy vehicle market has ushered in explosive growth. The price of battery grade lithium carbonate, the main raw material of new energy vehicle power battery, has staged a “three-level jump” within one year, and the average price has jumped from 50000 yuan per ton at the beginning of the year to 274000 yuan per ton. In December, from the breakthrough of 200000 yuan / ton at the beginning of the month to over 270000 yuan / ton at present, the quotation has been close to 300000 yuan / ton, with an increase of more than 30% in the month and more than 400% year-on-year. The price has set a new record. In a lithium carbonate production workshop, the person in charge told reporters that with the growth of new downstream projects exceeding expectations, the current supply growth of the industry is far from meeting the market demand.
Since the third quarter of 2021, Pilbara has held three lithium concentrate auctions, and the final transaction prices are 1250, 2240 and 2350 dollars / ton respectively, far exceeding the mainstream price of lithium concentrate in the same period. Stimulated by auction sales, the sales price of lithium concentrate in Australia rose rapidly in the third quarter. According to the announcements of Pilbara and other companies, the underwriting price of lithium concentrate is expected to increase to US $1600-1800 / ton in the fourth quarter, double that in the third quarter. Huachuang securities analysis pointed out that in the medium and short term, the supply shortage superimposes low inventory, and the lithium price is expected to continue to rise, which will drive the continuous release of plate profits. In the long term, it is relatively certain that electric vehicles and energy storage will drive high demand growth in the future. In contrast, the development cycle of upstream lithium resources is long, the capital investment is large, it is difficult to significantly improve the supply side, and the lithium resource gap will continue to enlarge. Under the background of the industry’s high outlook, the tight balance between supply and demand will drive prices further upward, and the historical high price may only be a new starting point.
