The lithium-ion battery recycling market is estimated at USD 1.78 Billion in 2017 and is projected to reach USD 23.72 Billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 22.1% from 2017 to 2030. Growing consumption of consumer electronics and rising investments in the development of electric vehicles are some of the key opportunities for the lithium-ion battery recycling market. Spent lithium-ion batteries are hazardous, and most companies have started recycling these batteries, as, in addition, there is low accessibility to some of the raw materials, such as lithium and cobalt.
The lithium-iron phosphate is projected to be the fastest- growing recycling battery type in the lithium-ion battery recycling market, by chemistry during the forecast period 20172030. The growing demand for lithium-iron phosphate batteries for high-power devices and equipment, including transportation (EVs) and lightweight marine batteries is one of the key factors driving the growth of the lithium-ion battery recycling market globally.
On the basis of industry, automotive is the largest segment in the global lithium-ion battery recycling market followed by power. Lithium-ion batteries are gaining use in significant numbers for automotive propulsion. Since these batteries offer high energy and power density, there is a growing demand, which is expected to keep them the largest recycling industry during the forecast period.
Asia Pacific is projected to be the largest and the fastest-growing region in the global lithium-ion battery recycling market. This growth is attributed mainly to the growing automotive industry in China, Japan, and India. China leads the Asia Pacific lithium-ion battery market and is expected to account for the largest share in the coming years.
The factors inhibiting the growth of the lithium-ion battery recycling market include the safety issues related to storage and transportation of spent batteries. Umicore (Belgium), Glencore (Switzerland), Retriev Technologies (US), Raw Materials Company (Canada), American Zinc Recycling (INMETCO) (US), and Battery Recycling Made Easy (US), among others are the leading players in the lithium-ion battery recycling market. Companies have adopted strategies such as plant expansions, divestments and acquisitions to meet the growing demand for lithium-ion battery recycling and to increase their market shares.
