In November 2025, we began to see early signs of an improved supply-demand balance, driven by stronger-than-expected demand from energy storage systems (ESS), as well as certain supply disruptions. This led to a tighter market environment and a shift in pricing trends. We continue to observe solid demand fundamentals, and we estimate that the lithium market could grow by approximately 25% this year, led by electric vehicles (EVs) and ESS.”Article contentMr. Ramos continued: At Nova Andino Litio, we are operating at full capacity to meet our customer commitments while continuing to advance our expansion plans in the Salar de Atacama. In parallel, we are increasing refinery of lithium carbonate from lithium sulfate in China through tolling agreements.”Article contentHe added: “In Australia, we are also operating at full capacity in the production of spodumene concentrate. In January of this year, we celebrated our first shipment of lithium hydroxide produced in Australia at the Kwinana refinery. Notably, lithium hydroxide from Kwinana refinery has been certified under the International Lithium Association’s Life Cycle Assessment framework, demonstrating a 37% lower emissions footprint compared to traditional hard-rock production refined in China.”Trending Embassies evacuate in Middle East with Trump 'not happy' on Iran PMN Business Canada's housing market suffers largest price decline among major economies, says BIS Real Estate The (high) opportunity cost of paying off your mortgage early Mortgages This TSX top performer surged 18% this week with a potentially powerful 'catalyst' waiting in the wings, says TD analyst Investor Mark's disability payments end soon and his CPP payments will be reduced.
