The Global Lithium-ion Battery Recycling Market Size is valued at 5.82 billion in 2022 and is predicted to reach 25.87 billion by the year 2031 at a 18.20% CAGR during the forecast period for 2023-2031.
Lithium-ion battery recycling refers to gathering lithium-ion batteries from various sources, such as automobiles, industrial equipment, consumer goods, and electronic devices, as well as the recovery of metals through recycling procedures. The global lithium-ion battery recycling market is anticipated to expand due to governmental laws, environmental safety, and public awareness.
The availability of protective layers to reduce the risk of fire and short-circuiting, as well as the attractive design of batteries, are predicted to open up new growth potential in the global market. Furthermore, the battery recycling businesses will likely have a huge opportunity to invest in and refocus their resources to develop a breakthrough battery recycling technology due to advancements in battery technologies that result in the development of technologically advanced batteries being developed by manufacturers.
However, the market for lithium-ion battery recycling is constrained by the high capital costs associated with building new recycling facilities and the specialization of supply and collecting chains. Additionally, the increased recycling of other chemistries like lead-acid batteries and the lack of an appropriate legislative framework in many developing countries to remove battery materials may hinder the Lithium-ion Battery Recycling market expansion.
Recent Developments:
- In February 2022, Glencore and Britishvolt agreed to a strategic agreement to create a world-class battery recycling ecosystem in the UK.
- In July 2021, an announcement regarding plans to increase production and recycling capacities was made by Lohum Cleantech, a maker of lithium-ion batteries and a provider of recycling solutions. Over the next two years, the company intends to raise recycling capacity from 1,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) to 10,000 TPA and increase LIB output from 300 MWh to 1 GWh.
