Automotive Battery Recycling Market

The global automotive battery recycling market is projected to grow from USD 26.21 billion in 2025 to USD 43.42 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 10.6% during the forecast period. The market is growing rapidly as electrification spreads to all vehicle categories, like passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The surge in the manufacture of electric vehicles is a primary factor for the generation of significant scraps, and concurrently, the first large-scale return of batteries from decommissioned hybrids and electric vehicles is fueling the recycling streams. Governments in North America, Europe, and Asia are introducing and enforcing stringent legislation to ensure that batteries are disposed of properly, and at the same time, OEMs are looking for ways to close the loop on material recovery so that critical minerals such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel are available.

Call2Recycle, Inc. (US), Cirba Solutions (US), Element Resources (US), Umicore (Belgium), Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (China), and Exide Industries Ltd. (India) fall under the winners’ category. These are leading players in the global automotive battery recycling market, based on their revenue, production capacity, technological innovation, market presence, and others.
