Based on strong demand for battery energy storage systems (BESS), soaring energy prices driven by Middle East conflicts supporting electric vehicle (EV) demand, and accelerating demand for electric trucks in China, UBS’ global commodities team raised global lithium price forecasts.

The broker estimated global lithium demand in 2026 to grow 16% YoY to 1.97 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE), of which EV battery demand will account for 53%, up 12% YoY, while ESS batteries demand will account for 17%, up 60% YoY.

The broker slightly raised its global lithium supply forecast for 2026 by 1%, and expected global risk-weighted supply to grow about 13% YoY to 1.91 million tonnes LCE (including recycling), resulting in a shortfall of 65,000 tonnes LCE.
