The lithium market has tightened now, HSBC Global Research said. On the supply side, export restrictions in Zimbabwe are expected to reduce 2026 global supply by approx. 40,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE). Even if mine restarts bring additional supply, they may not fully offset the shortfall.

Meanwhile, demand remained strong, mainly driven by rapid growth in energy storage systems (ESS). The broker expected lithium demand to grow 19% YoY this year, with a CAGR of 13% through 2030.
