Industry Context: Materials
2026 Trend: ↔️ Neutral Outlook
Neutral outlook reflects conflicting forces: critical minerals demand from EV transition and renewable energy supporting pricing, offset by potential oversupply of lithium and other battery materials. Cyclical risks from construction/auto demand weakness remain.

Critical minerals supply expansion coming online could flip market from deficit to surplus. Prices could compress sharply if demand growth disappoints.

- →AI minerals mapping and extraction optimization reducing costs
