Lithium bulls are betting on energy storage systems as the next meaningful pillar of demand for the battery metal, nudging the global market back toward balance after years of oversupply. Morgan's recent analysis shows that shipments of stationary energy storage batteries will rise by 50% in 2025 and 43% in 2026. This surge is causing the lithium supply to move into a deficit. These systems play a crucial role in balancing supply and demand, enhancing grid stability, and. . This is the fourth of our 6-part series that explores how climate regulation, industrial policy, trade policy, and strategic investments are influencing supply, demand and price across steel, iron ore, and critical minerals. Their capacity to store and discharge energy on demand is not just reshaping our energy systems but is. .
