However, ramped-up production from other large nut-producing countries that has saturated the global market, (along with supply chain challenges) has subdued export revenue in the past few years. Revenue has fluctuated further as a result of weather events, yet rising health consciousness among consumers has maintained dem...

  2026 Revenue Growth: 16.7%

  Spodumene concentrate (lithium ore) has become by far the dominant product in the industry over recent years. Spodumene concentrate is still mainly exported to China for further processing, but major mining firms have started using it domestically to refine lithium hydroxide.
