Lithium Ion Battery Recycling Market Size Analysis

According to a research survey conducted by ChemView Consulting, in 2022, the Global Lithium Ion Battery Recycling Market was worth US$ 3,874.6 Mn and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 21.3% over the forecast period. While the historical CAGR is 4.1%, the market is expected to hit US$ 26,719.9 Mn by 2032 end.

The rapid adoption of lithium-ion batteries suggests that they will remain a prominent source of clean energy for at least the next decade, particularly in the electromobility field. Given the current and anticipated trends, a massive dominance of lithium-ion batteries is to be expected. The increased consumption of lithium-ion batteries emphasises the importance of disposing of batteries that have reached the end of their useful life. The majority of batteries end up in landfills and pose a threat to the environment.

As a result, recycling lithium-ion batteries has become critical in developing a closed loop system in which recovered materials can be reused in batteries, assisting in meeting the rising demand for raw materials in the battery.

One of the main drivers driving the market for lithium-ion battery recycling is the rising demand for electric cars throughout the world, together with subsidies offered by governments of different nations for battery recycling. Due to worries about the environmental harm caused by vehicles running on conventional energy sources like diesel and petrol, there has been a considerable increase in demand for electric cars. One of the key drivers is the declining cost of batteries for electric vehicles.

Market Dynamic

THE NECESSITY FOR EFFICIENT WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS TO SUPPORT THE MARKET GROWTH

The demand for battery recycling is anticipated to increase throughout major economies due to strict government rules for safe battery disposal and bottlenecks in the supply of raw materials. Compared to the expected demand from diverse end-use sectors, the resources available for creating new batteries are few. To reduce harmful environmental effects, efficient waste management and the recovery of precious minerals and metals from batteries are both vital. Manufacturing recycled batteries using recovered metal can significantly reduce CO2 emissions and the energy needed for mining.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH BATTER USAGE HAMPER THE MARKET GROWTH

Hazardous battery compounds include acids and heavy metals like mercury and lead. Used batteries retain some of their charge, which increases the risk of an unintentional discharge that might harm or damage both persons and property. Large lithium-based batteries, such as those employed in automotive applications, may be mislabeled as lead-acid batteries by regional battery producers. Due to these problems, state or federal governments restrict the transportation and storage of expended batteries.

Lithium Ion Battery Recycling Market

COVID-19 Impact

Most markets are experiencing declines due to the COVID-19 epidemic, and non-essential manufacturing facilities are gradually being forced to shut down temporarily. Due to multiple lockdowns implemented by numerous nations in response to the second and third waves of the pandemic, the manufacture and consumption of lithium-ion batteries have decreased to a greater extent than anticipated in the short term, negatively affecting the lithium-ion battery recycling market.

One of the main end-use markets for lithium-ion batteries, the electric vehicle industry, has been negatively impacted by COVID-19, which is expected to have a minor influence on the lithium-ion battery recycling business.
