The Future of Lithium-ion Battery Recycling Challenges and Opportunities in a Sustainable World

The global Lithium-ion Battery Recycling market Size is expected to register a CAGR of ~ 21.43% from 2023 to 2030 and hold a value of over USD  24.31 billion by 2030.

Lithium-ion battery recycling refers to the process of recovering materials from used or discarded lithium-ion batteries, to reduce the environmental impact of these batteries and to conserve valuable resources.

The recovered materials can be used to produce new batteries or other products, helping to close the loop of material consumption.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the lithium-ion battery recycling market, with the slowdown in global economic activity and decreased demand for goods and services leading to reduced investment in recycling and other sustainability initiatives. The pandemic has also caused disruptions in the supply chain, making it more difficult to obtain the components and materials needed to recycle lithium-ion batteries.
