Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Market Size

Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Market Size

The global lithium-ion battery recycling market was valued at USD 5.4 Billion in 2023 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 20.6% from 2024 to 2032. It refers to the process of recovering valuable materials such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and other metals from used or end-of-life lithium-ion batteries. These batteries are commonly found in consumer electronics, electric vehicles (EVs), and renewable energy storage systems. The recycling process involves several stages, including the collection and sorting of batteries, disassembly, and extraction of valuable elements through physical, hydrometallurgical, or pyrometallurgical processes.
