Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Market - Forecasts from 2025 to 2030

Description

The Global Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.08% from US$1,459.278 million in 2025 to US$2,945.193 million in 2030.

The global lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery recycling market is driven by the growing electric vehicle (EV) and electronics market, adding to the volume of used lithium-ion batteries. The rising regulatory pressure and environmental consciousness for sustainable disposal of used lithium-ion batteries and the demand for efficient recycling solutions to recover valuable materials are driving this market expansion. Advancements in the recycling technology of lithium-ion are also propelling this market's growth.

Market Trends:

Expanding Electric Vehicle and Electronics Sectors: A key driver of the lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery recycling market is the global emphasis on electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing and adoption. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) Global EV Outlook 2024 report, global electric car sales hit 14 million in 2023, marking a 35% year-on-year increase and a sixfold rise compared to 2018. This surge in EV sales is accelerating the demand for lithium-ion batteries, thereby boosting the need for efficient recycling solutions.
Technological Advancements in Recycling: Researchers worldwide are focusing on enhancing the efficiency and economic viability of recycling processes. Significant investments in research and development, both from public and private sectors, are being directed toward improving existing lithium-ion battery recycling technologies.
North America's Market Leadership: North America is projected to capture a major share of the global lithium-ion battery recycling market. This growth is fueled by increasing government support for sustainable battery disposal and rising investments in recycling infrastructure.
Europe's Growing Role: Europe is also expected to hold a substantial share of the global Li-Ion battery recycling market. Governments in the region are prioritizing the development of advanced recycling infrastructure and technologies to promote sustainable resource use. The European Union, in particular, is taking proactive steps to recover valuable metals from used batteries, further driving the recycling of critical resources.
