Lepidolite occurs in granite masses, and is a precursor for lithium production. It is lilac-gray, rose-colored, or yellow colored in appearance, depending upon the quantity of lithium and other trace elements. The lithium content in lepidolite varies, and is used for industrial purposes, as an ornate stone, and mineral specimen. It is employed as heat insulator in the industrial sector. It is significantly used in the production of lithium metal, which is employed in the manufacture of lithium ion and lithium polymer batteries for hybrid cars, mobile phones, laptops, and other portable devices, owing to its lightweight. Moreover, lepidolite brings deep emotional healing, soothing, and reduce stress & depression.
Rise in disposable income and rise in middle class population propel the demand for electronic goods such as mobile and laptops, which in turn fuels the growth of the lepidolite market. Moreover, increased application of ultra-lightweight lithium ion and lithium polymer batteries in electronic goods and hybrid electric cars drives the market growth. In addition, the Electric Vehicles International sets a target of 20 million electric cars globally by 2020, which is expected to provide new opportunity for the market players. However, the composition of lepidolite varies significantly. An ore with low amount of lithium is not feasible for lithium extraction, which hampers the market growth.
