Development Status and Trend of Lithium Hydroxide Industry in 2025

       Lithium hydroxide (LiOH) is a 1 strong basic inorganic compound, usually appears as a white crystalline powder, with high water solubility, but the solubility in ethanol is low. Lithium hydroxide is widely used in many fields, including grease, alkaline battery electrolyte, lithium grease, etc.

      The main application field of lithium hydroxide has gradually shifted from grease to high-nickel ternary cathode materials. With the rise of new energy vehicles, the rapid development of high nickel ternary batteries has promoted the development of lithium hydroxide industry. As the world's largest producer of lithium hydroxide, China's production and demand have shown explosive growth.

      The demand for lithium hydroxide is expected to continue to rise, mainly driven by the expansion of the new energy vehicle market and the development of energy storage technology. As the global demand for clean energy and efficient energy storage systems increases, the demand for lithium hydroxide as a key material will continue to grow.
