Asia Pacific Battery Recycling Market Analysis

Battery recycling is a crucial process for environmental sustainability and resource conservation. By reclaiming materials like lithium, cobalt, and nickel from used batteries, recycling not only reduces the demand for new raw materials but also minimizes the environmental impact of hazardous waste. The process involves collection, sorting, and dismantling batteries to extract valuable components for reuse in manufacturing new batteries or other products. Proper battery recycling helps mitigate pollution, reduces energy consumption, and promotes a circular economy by closing the loop on valuable resources. However, improving infrastructure and awareness around battery recycling remains essential to maximize its benefits and minimize its environmental footprint.

Asia Pacific Battery Recycling Market Trends

This section discusses the key market trends influencing the various segments of the Battery Recycling Market as identified by our research experts.

Lead Acid

Based on the chemistry, the market is segmented into lead acid, lithium-based, nickel-based, and others. The lead-acid segment is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. Lead-acid battery recycling held a significant share in the market owing to cost-effectiveness and a well-developed supply chain. Further, lead-acid batteries are highly recyclable, with several countries achieving recycling rates of over 90%. However, lowering the cost of lithium-ion batteries and increasing the adoption of electric vehicles would increase the demand for lithium-ion batteries. As a result, the recycling rate of lithium-ion batteries would also increase since the average life of lithium-ion batteries is about 10 years.

China is Expected to Grow with Significant CAGR During Forecast Period

China is the largest producer and seller of automobiles. For instance, in 2020, the country produced around 25 million vehicles, including cars and commercial vehicles. Further, the country has the largest number of smartphone users. In addition, lower recycling costs, less stringent environmental regulations compared to Western economies, and a large and growing number of recycling plants in the country are some of the key attributable factors to the growing battery recycling market in the country. Further, the country is the largest consumer of electric vehicles, which is also creating a huge growth opportunity for the companies engaged in recycling services, as these batteries have limited average life. After that, these batteries can be recycled, which also has commercial value as it contains several rare metals.

Asia Pacific Battery Recycling Industry Overview

The battery recycling market is competitive and fragmented, with several Asia Pacific and international players. The key players are adopting different growth strategies to enhance their market presence, such as partnerships, agreements, collaborations, new product launches, geographical expansions, and mergers and acquisitions.

Asia Pacific Battery Recycling Market News

For instance, Japan announced in 2021 that it will strive for 46% emissions reduction by 2030 to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

For instance, by 2030, the Indian government intends to have a fleet that is 30 percent electric. In addition, the goods and services tax (GST) on EVs was reduced from 12 percent to 5 percent in July 2019, and income tax exemptions for potential EV buyers were announced by the Indian government.

For instance, on Oct 22, 2022, the Industry Ministry said that the subsidies to be disbursed this year under the so-called PERTE scheme using EU pandemic relief funds would rise to 877 million euros ($860 million) from 600 million euros, meaning the total planned amount of nearly 3 billion will be slightly more front-loaded.
