Introduction of the Lithium-ion Battery Recycling Market Report
A lithium-ion battery is referred to as a less toxic battery that is easy to reuse and recycle. With the rise in the application of lithium-ion batteries in diverse consumer products, the danger of explosion and their disposal has become tough, and hence, it becomes inevitable to recycle them. The recycling of these batteries could be done by various technological processes, including pyro-metallurgy process, hydrometallurgical process, and other mechanical processes.

Market Dynamic
Key Drivers and Emerging Trends
The rising applications of lithium-ion batteries in the end-use verticals, including automotive, marine, and power generation, among others and the elimination of the toxic effect of metals used in batteries are the major factors driving the lithium-ion battery recycling market. The growing recycling rate associated with a lead-acid battery, rise in focus on the lithium-ion battery, and limited presence of the metal accelerates the lithium-ion battery recycling market growth. The high application of these batteries owing to various chemical properties, increasing adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs) across the globe, and initiatives are taken by the government in the form of regulations, and financial support to EV manufacturers and buyers positively impact the lithium-ion battery recycling market. In addition to that, growing demand for recycled products and materials, increase in demand for electric vehicles, and depletion of earth metals influence the lithium-ion battery recycling market. Furthermore, increasing production with the aim of declining the prices of lithium-ion batteries, government subsidies to support battery recycling, and growing adoption in new applications extend profitable opportunities to the lithium-ion battery recycling market players.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Lithium-ion Battery Recycling Market
The COVID-19 pandemic has put a significant halt on the operations across different verticals. The countries with no required recycling infrastructure tend to supply exhausted batteries to different regions for treatment. Also, limitations in cross-border trades to mitigate the spread of the virus to low affected countries is one of the key factor negatively impacting the supply chain and logistics. For example, in 2020, the World Trade Organization (WTO) forecasted that global trade was likely to witness a decline between 13% to 32% owing to uncertainties caused by the pandemic across the globe.
Restraint in the Lithium-ion Battery Recycling Market
However, the high cost associated with the recycling and scarcity of technologies for the extraction of lithium from spent lithium-ion battery recycling is major factors restraining the lithium-ion battery recycling market growth.

Battery Chemistry – Segment Analysis
Based on the Battery Chemistry, the Lithium-nickel Manganese Cobalt (Li-NMC) segment is expected to grow at a high CAGR during the forecast period. One of the most advanced li-ion cathode formulas developed is obtained by blending nickel, manganese, and cobalt. Lithium-Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt-Oxide (LiNiMnCoO2), referred to as NMC, has become the go-to cathode powder to produce power tools, batteries, e-bikes, and other electric powertrains. It provides strong overall performance, excellent specific energy, and the lowest self-heating rate of all mainstream cathode powders, which makes it the most appropriate option for automotive batteries. Hence, due to such factors, this segment is expected to account for largest lithium-ion battery market share during the forecast period.
End-Use – Segment Analysis
Based on the End-Use, the Automotive segment is expected to grow at a high CAGR during the forecast period. LIBs are currently the most desirable energy storage device for powering electric vehicles (EVs) due to their attractive characteristics, including high energy efficiency, lack of memory effect, high power density, long cycle life, and high energy density. These advantages allow them to be compact and lighter than other conventional rechargeable batteries like lead-acid batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries (Ni-Cd), and nickel-metal hydride batteries (Ni–MH). For instance, Nissan’s Lithium-ion battery technology utilizes materials that offer a higher density of lithium ions to be stored. Hence, this results in an increase in travel distance.
