How do we come to that number of the 1B solution tk Com Market share, in the very last row of the solution?

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately the calculation doesn’t give that result of the solution. That’s my concern.

Hi there,
You have to multiply the 2nd to last row (market share in kilo tons) by the price per kilo ton ($80,000)

Hi there,
I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:
- Similarly to what Ian said, in order to calculate the total market size you need to multiply the market share in kilo tons (2nd to last row) by the price per kilo ton of 80,000 USD. This will give you the total market size of Lithium.
If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to address your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.
Best,
Hagen
