    According to statistics, in 2018, the total planned total amount of lithium salt in China reached 250,500 tons, of which lithium carbonate increased by 172,500 tons and lithium hydroxide was 78,000 tons
    .

    In terms of lithium carbonate, a total of 13 companies planned to add a total of 172,500 tons of new production capacity in 2018, of which 94% of the production capacity of lithium ore and 6%
    of brine were designed raw materials.
    In terms of lithium hydroxide, a total of 6 companies plan to add a total of 78,000 tons of new production capacity in 2018, unlike lithium carbonate, the main manufacturers that plan to build new production capacity are mainly traditional lithium salt manufacturers
    .

    In 2017, the national lithium carbonate production was only 84,000 tons, lithium hydroxide production was 43,000 tons, in the case of urgent demand for lithium salt smelting capacity, the release of new lithium salt smelting capacity will undoubtedly greatly alleviate the current supply and demand side
    .
    However, according to market participants, the current environmental protection requirements are becoming increasingly stringent, and the EIA progress of new projects needs to be paid attention to, and they are also cautiously skeptical about the progress of new projects
    .
    It is predicted that the new supply of lithium carbonate in 2018 will not exceed 60,000 tons, and the increase in lithium hydroxide supply will not exceed 50,000 tons
