Battery Recycling Market Projected to Reach USD 54.3 Billion by 2030
The global battery recycling market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 10.5% from 2023 to 2030, supported by electric vehicle adoption, regulatory measures and rising demand for battery recovery.
The global battery recycling market is projected to increase from USD 26.9 billion in 2023 to USD 54.3 billion by 2030, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%, according to the report Battery Recycling Market by Source, Chemistry, Material and Region – Global Forecast to 2030.
The market is expected to maintain its growth during the forecast period. Increasing investment in electric vehicle development, stringent US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines, and government regulations and initiatives promoting battery recycling are identified as key factors supporting market expansion.
Asia Pacific Expected to Record the Highest CAGR
Asia Pacific is expected to register the highest CAGR in the battery recycling market during the forecast period. Population growth, industrialisation, urbanisation and rising demand for electronic devices, electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy storage systems are contributing to increased battery consumption across the region.
Asia Pacific is home to major battery manufacturers and accounts for a substantial share of global battery production and consumption, particularly lithium-ion batteries. The growing use of batteries is increasing the need for effective recycling systems to manage end-of-life batteries and reduce their environmental impact.
Supportive policies and regulations aimed at encouraging battery recycling are also expected to contribute to regional market growth.
