Abstract：
The authors utilized the global lithium industry chain products trade data from the United Nations Commodity Trade Statistics Database (UN Comtrade) to study the dynamic evolution of the global lithium industry chain products trade dependence pattern and predict the potential future trade dependence links of the global lithium industry chain products, obtaining the dataset of global lithium industry chain products trade dependence and evolution (2012-2023). The dataset includes: (1) the trade dependence of global lithium industry chain products; (2) the top 10 countries in terms of global lithium industry chain products intermediary centrality; (3) the evolution of China's dependence with key trading partners in global lithium industry chain products. The dataset is archived in .xls format, and consists of 6 data files with data size of 4.84 MB (compressed into 1 file, 697 KB).
