On longer time scales if prices get higher then more companies enter the market to supply products.
It's only short term that prices rise massively, like due to unexpected issues from covid, staff shortages etc.

Supply and demand works both ways. Demand means higher prices, but higher prices means it will be more profitable to go out and supply the materials - like more companies mining for lithium, or drilling for oil.
