Dear industry chain colleagues:
Lithium carbonate shipment volume serves as an important leading indicator connecting overseas salt lake production with downstream raw material supply. Compared with arrival volumes and port inventories, shipment data can reflect changes in overseas salt lake supply at an earlier stage, providing forward-looking guidance for import arrivals, domestic raw material supply, and inventory changes in the coming period. Meanwhile, factors such as plant maintenance, project ramp-up, weather conditions, port operations, vessel scheduling, and international trade policies may all affect the pace of shipments at different stages.
To further enhance transparency across the global lithium carbonate supply chain and help industry players track supply changes in Argentina's salt lake sector in a more timely manner, SMM (Shanghai Metals Market) will officially launch the "Argentina Lithium Carbonate Monthly Export Data" on September 23, 2026 (Wednesday).
