Key Trends in the Market

Battery recycling is defined as a process of reusing, reprocessing, or safely disposing of batteries to reduce battery wastage and prevent them from becoming material waste. Different types of batteries have different methods of recycling. Recycling of lithium-ion batteries, which is the most common, involves collection, sorting, and smelting. The main aim of battery recycling is to protect the environment from harmful gases and substances which may come out of a battery as it deteriorates.

  • Battery recycling offers greater sustainability, which is a key trend in the market. By recycling and reusing older batteries there is reduced need for mining of new materials to produce new batteries. This process protects natural resources from getting depleted which is a crucial battery recycling market driving factor.
  • The growing expansion of the industrial sector is a major trend fuelling the demand for various battery-driven industrial appliances such as electronic bikes, electric wheelchairs, and micro hybrid vehicles, among others. The technical upgradations aimed towards maturing and sophistication of batteries, in order to reduce the production cost, are leading to a stronger supply chain.
  • Environmental concern is increasing worldwide, with a greater focus on reducing the disposal of products in landfills. Battery recycling helps prevent used batteries from ending up in landfills, due to which more nations are encouraging adequate battery recycling.

Market Share by Chemistry

The lead acid segment, based on chemistry, holds a significant share in the battery recycling market. Lead gives great response to recycling and 90 to 98% of lead-acid batteries can be recovered through the recycling process. In addition, widespread usage of lead-acid based automotive batteries, like starting lighting and ignition (SLI) lead acid batteries, are taking place around the world, increasing their production.

Moreover, lead-acid battery recycling offers various economic and environmental benefits. For instance, recycling lead-acid batteries, comprising of various reusable components, eradicates the need for using fresh raw materials, leading to greater savings on money. Further, lead is harmful and prolonged exposure can cause health damage which is why safe disposal is of greater importance, further broadening the battery recycling market.

Market Share by Application

Based on application, the consumer electronics segment is witnessing a steady growth, due to the increasing demand for lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries in a variety of consumer electronics. The increasing demand for downstream consumer electronic products, such as battery-powered toys, headphones, and handheld power equipment, among others, is fuelling the battery recycling infrastructure.

Meanwhile, the transportation sector is expected to witness a flourishing growth in the forecast period owing to the increasing focus towards electric vehicles to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. Over the forecast period, the anticipated increase in the number of working professionals opting for public transport systems worldwide is expected to bolster the battery recycling market.
