Lithium Ion Battery Recycling Market Size to Record 20.60% CAGR Over 2025-2032; Supportive Govt. Initiatives to Boost Production of Lithium Ion Batteries to Enhance Market Forecast

The global lithium ion battery recycling market size was valued at USD 5.41 billion in 2024. The market is projected to grow from USD 6.51 billion in 2025 to USD 24.15 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 20.60% during the forecast period.

Fortune Business Insights™ presents this information in its latest report titled “Lithium Ion Battery Recycling Market Size, Share & COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Chemistry (Lithium Cobalt Oxide, Lithium Iron Phosphate, Lithium Manganese Oxide, Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminum Oxide, and Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide), By Source (Electronics, Electric Vehicles, Power Tools, and Others), By Process (Physical/Mechanical, Hydrometallurgical, and Pyrometallurgical), and Regional Forecast, 2025-2032”.

The demand for Lithium Ion Batteries (LIBs) is rising at a strong rate across the world as different industries are looking for various ways to decrease their carbon emissions. The sales of electric vehicles have skyrocketed in recent years as customers want to make more socially responsible choices. Li-ion batteries are electrochemical cells that boost power generation but produce minimal carbon emissions. Recycling these batteries can help manufacturers extract and sell the raw materials accumulated in the electrode composition to reduce project costs and environmental impact. These aspects will help the lithium ion battery recycling market share grow.

Supply Chain Disruptions and Shipment Delays Caused by COVID-19 Restricted Market Progress

The COVID-19 pandemic caused several delays and disruptions in the supply chain operations of different industry verticals. Many governments introduced lockdowns and trade & movement restrictions to prevent the spread of the virus. The automotive industry, in particular, incurred severe losses during this period as the sales of cars including electric vehicles plummeted. This scenario hampered the production of lithium ion batteries as the required raw materials were not shipped on time, further restraining the lithium ion battery recycling market growth.

Umicore and Automotive Cells Company (ACC) Have Signed An Agreement For Offering Battery Recycling Services

In February 2022, Umicore and Automotive Cells Company (ACC) have signed an agreement for offering battery recycling services to new plant of ACC in Nersac, France. The agreement is expected to enhance the market position of Umicore. It is also set to create market growth opportunities for both the companies.

Supportive Govt. Initiatives to Boost Production of Lithium Ion Batteries to Enhance Market Forecast

Governments across the world are introducing various regulations and initiatives to increase the production of lithium ion batteries and also promote the responsible recycling of batteries. These incentives and supportive policies can motivate manufacturers and consumers to participate in different recycling programs. This move will help companies improve their goodwill among customers and assist customers in decreasing their carbon footprint, thereby fueling the market share.
