Global Battery Materials Recycling Market is valued approximately at USD 28 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 8.5% over the forecast period 2023-2030. Battery materials recycling refers to the process of recovering valuable metals and components from used batteries, such as lithium-ion batteries, in order to reuse or repurpose them. Through various techniques, including physical, chemical, and metallurgical processes, battery materials recycling aims to extract materials such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese, reducing the reliance on primary raw materials and promoting environmental sustainability in the battery industry. This recycling process contributes to the circular economy by extending the lifespan of batteries, minimizing waste, and conserving valuable resources. The driving factors boosting the market growth are increasing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and growing investments in recycling infrastructure.
According to Statista, The electric Vehicles market is estimated to witness significant growth, with projected revenue reaching USD 561.30 billion in 2023. It is expected to exhibit a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.07% from 2023 to 2028, leading to a market volume of approximately USD 906.70 billion by 2028. Furthermore, unit sales of Electric Vehicles are anticipated to reach 17.07 million vehicles by 2028. Moreover, the increasing demand for energy storage systems and advancements in battery recycling techniques is expected to create abundant opportunities for the market growth. However, the lack of adequate collection infrastructure for efficient recycling and complexities of battery chemistries stifles market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
The key regions considered for the Global Battery Materials Recycling Market study includes Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America dominated the market in 2022 with largest market share owing to the advanced recycling infrastructure, stringent environmental regulations and policies that promote sustainable practices, including battery recycling, and strong R&D ecosystem and technological advancements. However, Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region during the forecast period, owing to factors such as growing electric vehicle market, favorable government policies and initiatives to promote sustainable practices, and rising environmental awareness.
