Battery Manufacturing Scrap Recycling Market Size is valued at USD 2.06 Bn in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 6.92 Bn by the year 2031 at a 16.5% CAGR during the forecast period for 2024-2031.
Key Industry Insights & Findings from the Report:
- The increasing awareness about scrap recycling as well as demand and consumption of batteries such as lithium-ion in the end-use industries drive the market growth.
- Rising advancements, investments in recycling technologies as well as electronic industry and government support are expected to drive industry growth.
- North America dominated the market and accounted for a global revenue share in 2023.
- The battery recycling industry may encounter significant obstacles as a result of the exorbitant expense of recycling and a dearth of viable options.
Battery manufacturing scrap recycling is a rapidly growing business that deals with producing scrap materials created during the battery cell manufacturing process. As electric vehicles become more popular, the market for these batteries is likely to expand dramatically, aiding in the growth of battery manufacturing trash recycling technology. Regardless, many new competitors will enter the market in the next years, increasing competition and driving additional growth and innovation. In the medium term, factors such as falling lithium-ion battery prices and rising concerns about battery waste disposal are expected to boost the battery recycling market throughout the projected period.
However, the COVID-19 epidemic has harmed the global battery recycling sector. This is due to a temporary ban on import, export, and transportation, which has affected the supply chain and battery demand from automotive and consumer electronics manufacturers. Although physical interactions and laboratory operations were restricted, there was an increased demand for digital solutions and virtual research platforms in materials science. MI systems that allow for remote collaboration, data analysis, and virtual experimentation have grown in popularity.
