Description: SQM Sociedad Quimica y Minera October 31, 2025

Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile S.A. (SQM) is a diversified Chile-based mining firm that produces specialty plant nutrients (e.g., sodium-potassium nitrate, blended fertilizers under the Ultrasol, Qrop and Speedfol brands), iodine derivatives for medical and industrial uses, and a broad portfolio of lithium chemicals-including lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide and lithium chloride-critical for battery cathodes. The company also supplies industrial chemicals such as sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate, solar salts, and potassium chloride, and it markets third-party fertilizers while exploring copper, gold and silver deposits.

Key recent metrics: SQM shipped ~ 210,000 t of lithium carbonate and ~ 45,000 t of lithium hydroxide in 2023, generating roughly $2.3 billion in lithium sales and giving it a ~ 30 % share of the global lithium carbonate market. Fertilizer earnings benefited from a 7 % rise in global nitrogen-phosphate-potassium (NPK) demand driven by expanding agricultural output in Latin America. The firm’s 2024 capital-expenditure plan targets $1.5 billion to expand its Salar de Atacama lithium operations and to upgrade nitrate processing capacity, reflecting the twin secular trends of electric-vehicle battery growth and tightening nitrate export regulations.
