Argentina's lithium output to grow 150% by 2030 on back of RIGI scheme

Over the past two years, Argentina has been the destination for many ambitious investment commitments thanks to the country’s Regimen for Incentivising Large Investments (RIGI). Benchmark analysis shows that Argentina’s lithium output rose from 31kt in 2018 to 86kt LCE in 2025. By 2030, Benchmark forecasts production to grow a further 153% to 218kt, positioning Argentina amongst the fastest growing lithium producers globally. The growth in Argentina’s lithium industry highlights that coordinated policy efforts and a focus on cost efficiency can attract capital and support the development of viable projects.
