Global lithium hydroxide industry overview

The lithium hydroxide dispersion technology is revolutionizing the grease manufacturing process by reducing the manufacturing time, energy consumption and water consumption. This technology is being preferred over conventional methods for manufacturing grease because of the low melting points, high mechanical strength, and excellent thermal resistance of lithium hydroxide. Moreover, as lithium hydroxide is waterproof, it can maintain viscosity for a long time. These factors are encouraging grease manufacturers to adopt lithium hydroxide dispersion technology to produce lithium and lithium complex greases based on a variety of base oils such as vegetable oils, esters, mineral oil, and polyalphaolefins (PAO). The increasing usage of lithium hydroxide in the grease manufacturing process is identified as a key trend that will boost market growth in the next five years.

The use of lithium-ion batteries in portable devices as secondary rechargeable batteries is increasing. This can be attributed to the lightweight nature and high energy-to-weight ratios, self-discharge, and slow charge loss properties of lithium-ion batteries. Hence, rechargeable lithium batteries are widely used in smartphones, laptops, power tools, medical devices, notebooks, digital cameras, and power banks. Lithium-ion batteries are preferred over nickel cadmium (NiCd) and nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries for use in medical devices because of its higher energy density. Moreover, lithium-ion batteries also facilitate the miniaturization of mobile electronics and medical devices without compromising on their power and performance. This will further boost the use of lithium-ion batteries in portable devices and drive lithium hydroxide market growth at a CAGR of over 13% during the period 2019-2023.
