Lithium-ion battery (LIB) supply chains encapsulate the profound shift in trade, economic, and climate policy underway in the United States and abroad.
Table 1 provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of China's lithium supply chain network from 2017 to 2021. The network saw a steady increase in scale, with the number of nodes rising from 254 to 281, reflecting the expanding reach of China's lithium trade.
Analysis of material flow and network metrics of the lithium supply chain network In Fig. 1, China's lithium supply chain emerges as a linchpin in the global lithium market, accounting for 80.61% of global lithium resource consumption in 2021—equivalent to 456.29 kt of LCE.
From the supply chain perspective, the forward supply chain of LIBs is scattered globally. For instance, the mining of lithium is done in Australia. However, Australia transfers most of the unprocessed ores to China as it does not have sufficient manufacturing facilities. The supply time and associated issues are a consequence of this approach.
The resilience dynamic change of China's lithium supply chain is tested. The impacts of disruptions caused by disasters and political conflicts are evaluated. As the world's largest consumer of lithium resources, China faces a substantial demand-supply gap and challenges in securing its lithium supply chain.
The global market for Lithium-ion batteries is expanding rapidly. We take a closer look at new value chain solutions that can help meet the growing demand.
