3 Best-performing ASX Lithium Stocks of 2024

Global demand for lithium-based power presents a significant opportunity for Australia, the world's top lithium-producing nation.

Australia’s abundant lithium reserves and strong output position it as a key player in shaping the battery value chain into the 2030s. However, rapid EV market growth has driven increased mining, leading to a global lithium surplus.

Lithium prices remained low in 2024 on the back of oversupply and weak demand.

Lithium carbonate spent the majority of the year contracting, shedding 22 percent between January and December. Prices started the 12 month period at US$13,160.20 per metric ton (MT) and ended it at US$10,254.16.
