A new forecast puts Chinese companies controlling 39 percent of global lithium production by 2030, up from about a third of production as of 2020. Australia, now the largest producer, would see its share of extraction fall from 43 percent in 2020 to 25 percent in 2030, particularly as African supplies of lithium rise from virtually zero percent of global extraction in 2020 to 13 percent in 2030.
