The modern gold rush
The combination of growing demand, fewer substitutes, and dwindling supply is inevitably causing the value and importance of gold to increase over time. There’s no doubt - it is truly the metal of the future.
The global gold market spans a diverse set of consumers and investors. While jewelry remains the primary application, investment in gold still holds a significant share of the total demand. Gold also plays a pivotal role as an industrial metal in a broad range of applications. This demand is driven by the electronics sector, which accounts for ~80% of gold used in technology.
Soaring demand for lithium
The demand for lithium is predicted to triple over the next decade, according to forecasts. Electric-vehicle (EV) boom, fueled by the urgent need to implement solutions and technologies limiting global warming, are driving lithium-ion battery development and production.
With the growing share of renewable energy in the global energy mix, the demand for effective energy storage technologies becomes increasingly important to ensure a stable and resilient power supply.
Copper's sustainable evolution
Copper is critical to the effort of creating a more sustainable and circular economy, while at the same time, allowing it to develop further and further.
Use of copper dates back 5,000 years ago, when the earliest humans found it in a native, metallic form. Today, it has a unique place in our modern world: It’s 100% recyclable, antimicrobial and the best non-precious conductor of heat and electricity. The uses of copper continue to grow and are a main contributor to evolving our society to make the next leap.
Key drivers for battery minerals industry
The growing adoption of electric vehicles is driving rapidly increasing demand for rechargeable batteries and their input commodities - including lithium, cobalt, nickel, graphite, manganese, copper and aluminum.
As society continues to embrace batteries as the more responsible alternative for burning fossil fuels, we need to accept that we can’t just concentrate on the sustainability of individual end user commodities such as EVs. To determine and improve sustainable performance, we need to take a holistic approach and lead the way towards a more responsible overall business ecosystem.
