2024年，全球关键矿产需求有所增长，其中锂需求增长近30%，保持了2023年的强劲增势，超过21世纪 前十年10%的年增长率。此外，镍、钴、石墨和稀土需求增长了6%~8%；铜需求增长了3%。 然而，关键矿产供应增长超过了需求增长。由于筹备时间较短、投资量增加，2020年后的采矿活动增长 率明显高于21世纪前十年，其中多数增长来自老牌产矿国，如刚果民主共和国的钴、印尼的镍、我国的 天然石墨和锂等。但在锂供应增长过程中，阿根廷和津巴布韦等新兴产矿国也占了较大份额。此外，就 精炼材料而言，在我国和印尼等主要生产国加工能力充足的支持下，产量增速超过了原材料供应增速。 受供大于求影响，2024年用于制作电池的矿产价格表现低迷。锂价格2023年以来下跌了80%以上；石墨 和钴价格2024年下降了20%，镍价格下降了10%。而锰价格则是个例外，由于澳大利亚和加蓬的供应中 断，加上需求增长，2024年下半年明显上涨。铝、铜和锌等基本金属价格2024年出现反弹，并将在2025 年继续上涨，原因是主要产区减产和需求前景改善。 此外，由于资源质量下降、筹备时间延长、资本密集度提高，以及新项目开发的复杂性增加，基本金属 开采量增速 ...
