As global lithium demand increases and regulatory landscapes shift, DLE's (direct lithium extraction) role in the evolving battery supply chain merits closer examination. IDTechEx predicts DLE to disrupt the brine mining market, with a CAGR (compound growth rate) of 19.6%, making it the fastest-growing segment in the industry.

IDTechEx's report includes details on thin, flexible batteries for micro-power applications, and the gradual move towards sustainable alternatives.

With over 100 million electric vehicles (EVs) expected to reach end-of-life over the next two decades, IDTechEx's latest report predicts that the value of critical materials recovered annually by 2045 will surpass US$100B.
