    This document shows projections for global lithium demand and production capacity from 2011 to 2025. Lithium production capacity is expected to meet over 90% of demand through 2021 but will fall below demand after that, requiring new lithium projects to satisfy over 60% of demand by 2025 as usage increases. Current forecasts indicate that existing lithium production capacity will begin facing constraints after 2021 when utilization rates drop below 80% of capacity.
