Northeast Asia

The lithium metal price chart for Northeast Asia in January 2026 shows an average of USD 11.66/kg, marking a 10.3% rise. Strong demand from electric vehicle and battery manufacturers, along with stable regional supply, supported the upward movement in prices during the month.

Supply Dynamics

Limited lithium ore availability and steady production output influenced regional pricing. Refinery and processing operations maintained consistent levels, ensuring supply met industrial demand. Transportation efficiency and inventory management also contributed to price stability while preventing sharper fluctuations in the Northeast Asian market.

Industrial Demand

Battery and electronics sectors remained the primary drivers of lithium metal consumption. Growth in renewable energy storage and EV production increased orders, pushing prices upward. Industrial expansion in the region reinforced demand consistency, supporting the recent price hike observed in January 2026.

Market Outlook

Analysts anticipate continued pressure on lithium metal prices due to ongoing high demand. Investment in extraction and processing technologies, along with supply chain optimizations, may moderate future volatility. Market participants remain focused on inventory levels and production capacities to gauge pricing trends.
