Asia-Pacific Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2021-2027)

Report Description

RD_APAC Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Market Current Scenario and Forecast (2021-2027)

The regional Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling market is likely to showcase double digit growth during the forecast period (2021-2027). Globally, lithium-ion batteries are witnessing growing demand from across the sectors. Shifting trend towards e-mobility, increasing demand of consumer electronics products in developing economies owing to improving people lifestyle, and growing concern in industries to reduce the carbon emission are some of the key attributable factors for the growth of the battery manufacturing industry. Owing to which, demand of raw materials like nickel and lithium is increasing. For instance, global production of lithium from mine was 28.4 thousand ton in 2020 which has increased to 90.2 thousand ton in 2019 and 86.3 thousand ton in 2020. These materials are all non-renewables, can be recycled an indefinite number of times, and have a commercial value. Therefore, recycling of lithium-ion batteries offering a huge market opportunity in order to meet the growing demand. Since, APAC region has the lowest cost of industrial operations, therefore regional and global players are making investment in the regional lithium-ion battery recycling market.

In light of COVID-19, industrial capex had decreased in order to sustain during the pandemic. Several industrial settings were bankrupting or closed their operation owing to the liquidity crunch or labor unavailability. Moreover, border closure disrupted the raw materials supply-demand. Since, recycling of batteries requires a fully efficient supply chain which had been broken down in the light of COVID-19, thus affecting the market performance.

Insights Presented in the Report

“Amongst battery chemistry, Li-NMC held significant share in the market in 2020.”

Based on battery chemistry, the market is categorized into Li-NMC, LFP, LMO, LTO, and NCA. Among these, Li-NMC held the prominent share in the market and is expected to showcase robust growth during the forecast period. This can be mainly attributed to its large adoption by e-mobility industry. Further, increasing adoption of electric vehicles is fueling the demand of Li-NMC battery, thus availability of large volume of Li-NMC end of life batteries for recycling purpose.

“Amongst battery component, active material held the prominent share in the market in 2020.”

Based on battery component, the market is bifurcated into active component and non-active component. Among these, active component held the significant market share in terms of value in 2020 owing to high value associated with the active component.

“China held the largest share in the APAC Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Market”

For a better understanding of the market adoption of lithium-ion battery recycling, the market is analyzed based on its regional presence in the countries such as Japan, South Korea, Australia, India, Taiwan, and Rest of APAC.  China had the prominent share in the regional lithium-ion battery recycling market pie. This is mainly ascribed to the increasing awareness among battery manufacturer and government to properly utilize the limited resources and government supporting schemes to promote the recycling activities in the country. Further, country is the largest consumer of electric vehicles therefore to mitigate the supply-demand gap, battery manufacturers are increasingly focusing on battery recycling.
