Daiwa Capital Markets said in a research report to customers that the global lithium supply is expected to increase by 12-28% in 2025-2026, which is due to the increase in production in major regions such as Argentina, Australia and Africa. However, the team warned that lithium prices may still be under pressure due to oversupply. At present, the price of LCE (lithium carbonate equivalent) in China is about 78,000 yuan/ton, but Yamato predicts that the price of LCE will be reduced to 75,000 yuan/ton by 2025 due to the increase in the output of low-cost mines. Yamato said: "The current price of lithium is not enough to prevent low-cost mines from increasing production." The demand for lithium, especially for electric vehicles (EV) and energy storage systems (ESS), is expected to slow down. Yamato believes that the slowdown in demand growth, coupled with the increase in supply, indicates that lithium prices may be difficult to maintain their recent highs.Newly issued loans exceed one trillion yuan!
