Consumption of lithium in rechargeable batteries by end use, 2012-2017, kt LCE. Batteries accounted for 27% of global lithium consumption in 2012, up from 15% in 2007 and 8% in 2002. Combined, this additional capacity totals just under 100,000 tpy LCE, enough to meet forecast demand to 2017. Source: Roskill.
