The global battery recycling market size is expected to reach USD 17.08 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 37.6% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Technological advancements in the recycling industry are making battery recycling more efficient and cost-effective, which is another factor contributing to the growth of the market. An increase in the adoption of smartphones, electric vehicles, and other consumer electronics has led to an increase in the use of batteries. This has increased the number of end-of-life batteries, presenting new opportunities for recycling companies
The industrial segment is expected to witness substantial growth over the next few years, due to the growing demand for high-power range systems. Increasing trend of the adoption of UPS systems as an essential power-backup device is expected to favorably impact the market growth over the forecast period.
Enterprises deploy their data center facilities to meet data and network necessities. Interruption of power supply to these facilities can result in the loss of essential data, thereby decreasing the overall productivity and resulting in financial losses. The installation of UPS systems is one of the best ways to prevent unwanted losses. These factors are likely to increase the demand for UPS systems over the coming years, which, in turn, is anticipated to propel the demand for battery recycling in coming years.
Asia Pacific has been witnessing significant growth on account of the increasing number of manufacturing facilities, commercial offices, banks, MROs, and R&D centers in major countries like China, Australia, Japan, India and South Korea. The inception of new facilities and the expansion of existing battery recycling facilities owing to favorable government policies and foreign direct investments are likely to cater the growth battery recycling in the region.
