International Lithium Market Alert: Lithium Carbonate Surges, LFP Prices Follow；

 

The battery materials market is heating up again this week as lithium carbonate prices spiked by nearly RMB 20,000 per ton, triggering a sharp increase across the lithium iron phosphate (LFP) value chain.

 

What This Means for the Industry

Price volatility does not pause the battery industry — it reshapes decision-making.In a fluctuating cost environment:

1/ Procurement strategies shift from spot pricing to long-term partnerships

2/ Buyers prioritize supply security and transparency over short-term price advantages

3/ Southeast Asia continues to attract attention as a manufacturing and demand growth region for EV and ESS

4/ Rather than slowing engagement, market volatility is accelerating conversations across the battery value chain.

 

From Our Perspective — Dialogue & Real-Time Intelligence

This is precisely where ABES 2026 plays a critical role — providing a neutral, in-person platform for suppliers, manufacturers, EPCs and buyers to:

· Align expectations

· Compare solutions

· Discuss pricing mechanisms and future cooperation

Therefore industry players value platforms like the ASEAN Battery & Energy Storage Expo (ABES 2026) — to benchmark cost trends, align procurement, and explore partnerships across the EV + ESS ecosystem in Southeast Asia and beyond.
