PALM BEACH, Fla., March 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The market for lithium-ion batteries is likely to grow significantly over the next several years as a result of the electrification of cars, which will spur lithium mining during that period. A report from ResearchAndMarkets projected that the Global Lithium market , which was valued at USD 4650 Million in 2021 and expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.5% during the forecast period of 2023-2028. The report said: "Due to the strict rules that ICE automakers must adhere to in order to minimize carbon dioxide emissions from automobiles, the automotive application market is predicted to increase significantly over the course of the projection period. This has caused automakers to become more interested in creating EVs, which is expected to increase demand for lithium and related goods. Together with investments in this area, government subsidies for EVs are projected to serve as an additional catalyst for the market's expansion. Also, the growing lithium-ion battery market will be able to get enough products from the lithium sector. Direct lithium extraction (DLE) and direct lithium to product (DLP), which are anticipated to grow tenfold between 2021 and 2030, can be the driving factors behind the industry's ability to react more quickly to skyrocketing demand."  Active mining stocks in the markets this week include:  Lithium South Development Corporation (OTCQB: LISMF) (TSX-V: LIS), Lithium Americas Corp.

NEW YORK, March 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- John Kaiser of Kaiser Research believes Canada is due for a "lithium awakening." According to Kaiser, the market is moving past the 10-year bear market for the resources sector, particularly for juniors, and transitioning into a potential decade-long bull market with lithium leading the charge. Kaiser has been keeping a close eye on Canada's James Bay region, which he sees as a burgeoning area bet but James Bay lithium projects aren't the only ones garnering attention in Canada. The US Inflation Reduction Act has elevated Canada's standing as a battery material manufacturer due to its proximity and trading ties with the US. Sayona Mining Limited (OTCQB: SYAXF) and Piedmont Lithium (NASDAQ: PPL) recently produced its first batch of marketable lithium concentrate at its North American Lithium (NAL) mine in Quebec. E3 Lithium (TSXV: ETL) (OTCQX: EEMMF) is focused on developing its significant lithium resource in Alberta, while Lithium Americas (TSX: LAC) (NYSE: LAC) and Albemarle Corporation (NYSE: ALB) are working on lithium projects in the US.

NEW YORK, March 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The electrification of automobiles is projected to drive the lithium-ion battery market, considerably increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries in the near future. The growing awareness of the amount of carbon emissions released into the environment from automobiles, plus the recent advances made in battery technology, has helped spur the adoption of electric vehicles around the globe. This, in turn, has put the burden on manufacturers to offer electric vehicles powered by lithium-ion batteries, instead of adopting other battery alternatives due to their lightweight nature, high energy density, and low cost. According to data provided by Research and Markets, the global lithium market size was valued at USD 7.1 Billion in 2021, and is expected to reach a value of USD 15.45 Billion by 2028, with a CAGR of 11.75% over the forecast period 2022 - 2028.
