Chile is the world’s second-largest lithium producer after Australia. The country’s lithium production is estimated to have increased by 10.1% to 64.1kt in 2025, primarily supported by higher output from SQM’s Salar de Atacama operations, driven by ongoing capacity expansions.
Chile’s lithium production is mainly lithium carbonate derived from the brines in the Salar de Atacama in the Antofagasta Region. SQM and Albemarle are the only two companies producing lithium in the country, underscoring Chile’s highly concentrated production landscape.
