In order to reduce firing temperatures and thermal expansion, increase the strength of ceramic bodies, enhance coating viscosity, and improve the colour, tenacity, and lustre of glazes, lithium compounds, specifically carbonate and spodumene, are increasingly used in glass and ceramics.

A critical trend is the rising demand for electric vehicles. Sales of electric vehicles surpassed 2.1 million globally in 2019 and increased the stock to 7.2 million EVs, according to the International Energy Agency's Global EV Outlook 2020. Electric vehicle sales, which made up 2.6 percent of all vehicle sales and around 1 percent of all vehicle stock in 2019, increased by 40 percent from the previous year. Electric vehicles are significantly expanding as technology in the electrification of two- and three-wheelers, buses, and trucks develops and the market for them expands.

Major nations such as the United States, Canada, Portugal, China, Australia, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Brazil, Namibia, Nigeria, and Zimbabwe have all had their markets studied.
