Lithium phosphate prices diverged in late 2025: falling in China, stable elsewhere due to supply and demand dynamics.

Lithium phosphate prices in late 2025 showed regional divergence, softening in China due to high inventories and adjusted feedstock costs, while regions with limited local production held firm amid import dependence and logistics costs. Stable demand from LFP battery makers and energy storage projects, supported by government incentives and efforts to localize supply chains, helped maintain market balance. Prices remain linked to upstream lithium carbonate and hydroxide costs, with long-term stability expected despite selective upward pressure. Strategic sourcing, long-term contracts, and supply diversification are key to managing volatility.
