SQM,FMC and Chemetall are the three largest magnates of lithium carbonate battery all over the world. They declare that the price of lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide, lithium chloride, Lithium will increase by fifteen percent to twenty five percent. This has triggered the knock-on effect. In recent one or two years, the applications of Li-ion battery have entered the new energy automobile and accumulation system, and its market share has increased from 2.05% to 25%.

Lithium is the important components of the automotive battery. The suppliers maintain that every 100 thousand cars can pull 5000 to 8000 tons of lithium demand, namely, the demand of lithium increase by five percent to eight percent all over the world. The price increase of the lithium will directly influence the battery material field in the downstream. The cost of lithium manganate, linicomno lithium cobalt oxide, life battery will also increase. The material with olivine construction is regarded as the application which has the largest potential in the energy storage battery field, because it has high safety, long service life. What is more, the price of phosphoric acid is influenced by the insecticides demand, so it is predicated the price will increase by fifteen percent. The price of lithium iron will increase by thirty percent. Therefore, it will bring pressure to the new energy market.
However, the cost of lithium iron only takes twenty percent of the ratio in battery, so its influence is limited. Although the influence is not large, it is only the small skirmish of the new energy demand. Japan has found the large-scale ore source, which is also the skirmish of new energy. It is predicated by the Zpryme, the scale of smart grid will reach 171.4 billion US dollars in 2014. The Institute of Information Technology also maintains that the scale of lithium market will increase from 417 million US dollars to 12.6 million US dollars in 2020, namely the growth rate is forty-one percent. The related integrated circuit is AD7730BNZ.
