The global black mass recycling market is projected to grow from USD 14.41 billion in 2024 to USD 51.70 billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 17.3% during the forecast period. The industry for recycling black mass is expanding significantly due to surge in automotive, consumer electronics, and other sectors. Demand for portable devices and electric vehicles is growing, compounded by the scarcity and increasing prices of critical battery materials. Critical is the need to introduce a more efficient recycling solution. Meanwhile, consumers and manufacturers alike are being driven harder by increasingly stringent environment regulations and growing awareness among consumers on sustainability issues, making them look more enthusiastically towards battery recycling as a better way forward for environmentally responsible end-of-life batteries management.

"Nickel-based battery segment, by battery type, is estimated to account for the second largest share during the forecast period."
The nickel-based battery segment is projected to secure the second-largest share in the forecast period. This mainly attributes to the fact that such batteries are widely applied in industrial usage, power tools, and hybrid vehicles. The increasing market for energy storage and electric mobility has, therefore, immensely fueled nickel-based battery recycling, as the extracted metal nickel is highly valued and essential for battery manufacturing. Recovery of this key metal from black mass is a must to solve raw material shortages and facilitate more sustainability through the transition toward more sustainable battery supply chains.
"By battery source, consumer electronics segment accounted for the second largest share during the forecast period."
The consumer electronics segment by battery source is expected to have the second-largest share of the black mass recycling market. primarily fuelled by continuous surges in consumer devices like smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches. With the latter gaining wider acceptance, spent batteries are piling up at volumes that increasingly constitute a need for recycling to recover valuable metals such as lithium and cobalt. The momentum for sustainability and reducing e-waste will only create further growth in importance, thereby positioning consumer electronics battery recycling as an important segment within the circular economy for battery materials.
"Europe region is estimated to account for the second largest share during the forecast period."
Europe is likely to take the second-biggest share, primarily on account of a few significant factors. This includes the leadership of the region in embracing electric vehicles and renewable energy, thereby increasing volumes of end-of-life batteries, and the fact that this region has very stringent environmental regulations and a strong focus on the circular economy, which have boosted investments in recycling infrastructure. The ready domestic demand for these materials recycled is created by the European automotive and battery manufacturing companies.
Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (China), Cirba Solutions (US), Glencore (Switzerland), Recyclico Battery Materials Inc. (Canada), and Umicore (Belgium) are some of the major players operating in the black mass recycling market. These players have adopted strategies such as acquisitions, expansions, product launches, and partnerships to increase their market share business revenue.
