Argentina lithium exports in 8 months surpass all of 2025; output could quintuple by 2035

Argentina's Mining Secretariat released a 29-page report on lithium, revealing that exports in the first eight months of 2026 have already exceeded total 2025 exports, and projecting production could quintuple by 2035. This signals a significant acceleration in Argentina's lithium sector, likely driven by new projects and global demand for battery materials. The report underscores Argentina's rising role in the global lithium supply chain, with implications for energy transition and trade dynamics.
