Emphasis on Chemistry (Lead Acid, Lithium-Based, Nickel, and Others); Source (Automotive, Industrial, Consumers & Electronics, and Others); and Country
The India battery recycling market was valued at USD 1.97 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a strong CAGR of around 9.8% during the forecast period (2024-2030). Owing to rising investments and growing technological advancements.
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.
This section discusses the key market trends that are influencing the various segments of the Battery Recycling Market as identified by our team of 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.
North India is Expected to Grow with Significant CAGR During Forecast Period
North India dominated the battery recycling market in the country owing to the region is home to several major cities, including Delhi, Chandigarh, and Jaipur, which are experiencing rapid industrialization and urbanization. This has resulted in a growing demand for batteries across various sectors, such as automotive, consumer electronics, and renewable energy storage. Furthermore, government initiatives promoting electric vehicles and renewable energy adoption have also boosted the market in this region. For instance, the top four MoUs in the MSME (Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises) sector were all signed by Hong Kong’s Tauschen International Pvt Ltd in 2023. Tauschen E- Motors Pvt Ltd will invest Rs 4,100 crore to establish manufacturing facilities for electric vehicles in Agra. Also, the company’s Indian subsidiary will establish a lithium battery plant in Agra, for which it has signed an MoU for an investment of Rs 1,640 crore and is likely to invest a total of Rs 10,000 crore in the project.
The battery recycling market is competitive and fragmented, with the presence of several Indian and international market 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. Some of the major players operating in the market are Call2Recycle Inc., Battery Solutions LLC, Umicore N.V., Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd., GEM Co. Ltd., EnerSys, Johnson Controls International plc., Aqua Metals Inc., Exide Industries, and Sunlight Battery.
