Lithium-ion Battery Recycling Market To Reach $1.83 Billion By 2030

Lithium-ion Battery Recycling Market Growth & Trends

The global lithium-ion battery recycling market size is anticipated to reach USD 1.83 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 44.8% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is experiencing unprecedented growth, driven by the surge in demand for electric vehicles (EVs), consumer electronics, and renewable energy storage solutions. As the world is embracing cleaner energy sources, the necessity for sustainable battery manufacturing and disposal practices has become increasingly critical.

The market offers a range of opportunities for businesses, investors, and environmental advocates. Companies specializing in battery recycling, such as Li-Cycle Corp., Retrieve, and Umicore, are developing efficient and cost-effective recycling processes to meet the rising demand.

Moreover, partnerships between battery manufacturers, EV manufacturers, and recycling companies drive collaboration across the value chain, ensuring the responsible management of lithium-ion batteries from production to end-of-life. For instance, in February 2023, Tesla, an EV manufacturer, partnered with Redwood Materials, a battery recycling company established by a former Tesla Chief Technology Officer. This collaboration is focused on advancing technologies dedicated to recycling lithium-ion batteries utilized in Tesla vehicles.

One of the key drivers of the market is the automotive sector’s rapid electrification. With significant automakers committing to electrify their vehicle fleets, the demand for lithium-ion batteries is soaring. As a result, the need for efficient recycling solutions to recover valuable materials such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel is paramount.
