With the rapid development of new energy vehicles and other related industries，the global demand for lithium resources is growing rapidly. Especially since the Covid-19 epidemic，with the recovery of the world economy，lithium consumption has reached an unprecedented scale，and the market price has reached a new high. The investment and development of lithium resources from important economies have further increased，and the international market is gradually dominated by five major transnational corporations. China is playing an increasingly important role in the global lithium market and lithium industry chain. In the context of international “carbon neutrality”，with the continuous expansion of electric vehicles，energy storage power stations and other industries，the further development of lithium extraction and recovery technology and the improvement of the attention from governments，the international lithium market will increasingly become an important factor affecting the global energy and economic pattern.
