Writer's picture: Research IndustryResearch Industry

The Battery Recycling Market is projected to grow from USD 17.2 billion in 2020 to USD 23.2 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2020 to 2025.The major reasons for the growth of the battery recycling market include rising concerns regarding depleting precious and rare earth metals, growing demand for recycled batteries and other materials, and stringent government regulations and EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) guidelines.


By chemistry, lead-acid segment to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.


By chemistry, the lead-acid segment is projected to register the highest CAGR from 2020 to 2025. Lead-acid is the most commonly used battery chemistry in a multitude of applications, such as back-up for uninterruptible power supplies, grid energy storage, battery-powered electric vehicles, and SLI (starting, lighting, and ignition) in conventional combustion engines. The growth of this segment is attributed mainly to the simpler, cost-effective, and energy-efficient recycling of lead-acid batteries in comparison to others, as lithium-based and nickel-based chemistries.



By source, automotive batteries segment to lead the battery recycling market during the forecast period.

By source, the automotive batteries segment led the battery recycling market in 2019. This segment is also expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period owing to the rising use of automobiles and the growing number of government regulations related to battery recycling. The demand for automobile batteries has significantly increased in emerging regions, such as Asia Pacific, thereby augmenting the growth of the automotive batteries segment.


Asia Pacific to witness the highest growth rate in the battery recycling market.

The battery recycling market in Asia Pacific is projected to witness the highest CAGR from 2020 to 2025. Growing demand for electric vehicles and increasing environmental regulations have contributed to the growth of the Asia Pacific battery recycling market. In this region, the battery recycling market is majorly driven by China. Other key countries include India, Japan, and South Korea.


In November 2019, Call2Recycle, Inc. entered into a partnership with Raw Materials Company Inc. to enhance the collection and recycling of used consumer batteries across Ontario (Canada). The partnership will help both the parties in enhancing consumer drop-off locations, resulting in augmented collections and recycling of consumer batteries across Ontario.


In September 2019, Umicore and LG Chem Ltd. (South Korea) entered into a multi-year strategic agreement for the supply of 125,000 metric tons of nickel, manganese, and cobalt cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries to LG Chem Ltd. The agreement became effective from January 2020. Under this agreement, Umicore is also expected to recycle LG Chem Ltd.’s cathode material production waste. Currently, both companies are undergoing discussions on long-term cooperation in battery recycling. The agreement is expected to help Umicore enhance its competitive edge in the battery recycling market globally.
