Recycling batteries helps to reduce environmental pollution, conserve natural resources, and prevent the accumulation of hazardous materials in landfills. Li-ion battery recycling is crucial in reducing the environmental impact of battery production and disposal, conserving valuable resources, and promoting a more sustainable and circular economy. Li-ion battery (LIB) recycling is recovering valuable materials such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, and copper from used or end-of-life lithium-ion batteries. Recycled Li-ion batteries are used in various applications, such as portable electronic devices, wireless headphones, electronic appliances, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems.

The growth of this market is attributed to the surge in need to manage the disposal of used batteries, the growing demand for electric vehicles, and the declining prices of batteries. However, the lack of proper recycling infrastructure restrains the growth of the global Li-ion recycling market. Growing government incentives for battery recycling and the rising recovery of valuable materials are expected to create growth opportunities for the players operating in this market. However, the high cost of Li-ion recycling is a major challenge for the growth of Li-ion battery recycling.

The Impact of COVID-19 on the Li-ion Battery Recycling Market

The spread of COVID-19 had an unprecedented impact on various sectors. Most industries struggled due to disrupted supply chains, workforce & raw material shortages, and employee safety challenges. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) serve diverse applications, including electric vehicles, power tools, medical devices, smart watches, drones, satellites, and utility-scale storage. The industries using LIBs for these applications were affected during the COVID-19 pandemic due to the impact on manufacturing. Consequently, there was a decline in the adoption of Li-ion batteries. Thus, the Li-ion battery recycling market reported a significant revenue decline in 2020. The medical devices industry was positively impacted due to the elevated demand for battery-powered devices such as bone growth stimulators and glucose monitoring systems. Thus, there was a growth in the utilization of LIBs, with an increased need for LIB recycling. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic had a mixed impact on the Li-ion battery recycling market.

Furthermore, many countries-imposed restrictions on material imports and exports from China, impacting the production of Li-ion batteries. This shortage of raw materials increased the need to recycle used Li-ion batteries to produce new batteries. Li-ion battery recycling is a crucial part of the supply chain for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems. Several leading market players leveraged this crisis as an opportunity to restructure and revisit their existing strategies and develop portfolios of advanced Li-ion recycling technologies. The market still holds considerable potential to bounce back due to the rising popularity of electric vehicles, which mainly rely on lithium-ion batteries for power.

Additionally, governments of several countries, including the U.S., China, Germany, and South Korea, are undertaking initiatives for battery recycling, which are expected to aid market growth during the forecast period. For instance, in May 2022, the U.S. government announced USD 3.1 billion in battery manufacturing, processing, and recycling funding. Thus, showing a positive sign for market growth in the coming years.

Some of the developments in the Li-ion battery recycling market are as follows:

In May 2022, ACE Green Recycling, Inc. (ACE) announced plans to build and operate four new lithium-ion battery recycling facilities with an annual capacity of over 10,000 tons in Thailand and India.
In November 2022, Attero Recycling Pvt. Ltd. (India), a recycler of electronic waste and lithium-ion batteries, announced investing USD 81.0 million (INR 600 crores) in setting up a Li-ion battery recycling factory with a recycling capacity of 19,500 MT in Telangana (India).
In October 2021, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL, China) announced a USD 5 billion facility to recycle Lithium-ion batteries. The facility will be a joint venture with EV manufacturers due to the rising need for battery recycling backed by growing EV adoption globally.

Surge in the need to manage the disposal of used batteries is expected to drive market growth

The demand for batteries from electronics, including laptops, cell phones, and digital cameras to electric vehicles, has increased. Similarly, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are seeing huge adoption across applications such as electronics, toys, handheld power tools, small & large appliances, wireless headphones, electrical energy storage systems & electric vehicles. These batteries are made of materials, including graphite, cobalt, and lithium, considered critical minerals that are strategically and economically important. Thus, at the end of their useful life, the batteries must be properly managed as they can cause significant harm to the environment and human health.

Moreover, suppose the batteries or electronic device containing a Li-ion battery is disposed of in the trash with household recyclables. In that case, it may become crushed or damaged in transport or from processing & sorting equipment. This creates a fire hazard; hence, the batteries should not go into the household recycling bins or garbage. This creates a demand for reprocessing and reusing batteries to reduce the number of batteries disposed of. The federal, state, and local governments around the globe are working towards environmentally friendly recycling and disposal of batteries. For instance, in September 2022, the U.S. Senate passed the Strategic EV Management Act. This act aims to maximize the recycling and reuse of end-of-life electric vehicle batteries in federal fleet vehicles. In addition, this act is a part of the U.S. government's strategy to reduce dependence on global markets for battery components. Therefore, the global li-ion recycling market is significantly driven by a surge in need to manage the disposal of used batteries.
