The North America lithium compound market size reached 75,073.3 Tons LCE in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 182,728.9 Tons LCE by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 9.87% during 2025-2033.
Lithium is a silvery-white alkali metal, which is stored in mineral oil owing to its highly reactive and flammable nature. As a result of its corrosive nature in moist air, lithium never occurs freely. Both lithium and its compounds find several industrial applications in the production of batteries, steel and aluminum, heat-resistant glass and ceramics, grease lubricants, flux additives, automotive parts, etc. The lithium compound market in the region is being driven by the rising demand for lithium-ion batteries for devices such as laptops, mobile phones and calculators. Moreover, recent advances in the lithium battery technology has expanded its application from the healthcare sector for cardiac pacemakers to military operations for thermal batteries.
The North America lithium compound market is currently being driven by several factors. A majority of the population in the region depends on electronic gadgets, like smartphones, tablets and laptops, for communication along with other daily activities. As a result, they consistently upgrade these devices, in turn, supporting the growth of the lithium compound market. Moreover, the implementation of the Paris Agreement has stimulated the demand for electric vehicles in the region, in order to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This is impacting the market positively as electric vehicles employ lithium compound products in the form of a major component. Apart from this, the booming construction sector has led to an escalated demand for different types of glass and ceramics, thereby bolstering the growth of the industry. Further, expanding application of lithium-ion batteries across the healthcare and automotive sectors is also providing a thrust to the market growth.
