Unleashing the Potential: The Rising Electric Vehicle Battery Recycling Market
As the world
accelerates towards a sustainable future, the electric vehicle (EV) industry
has witnessed a significant boom in recent years. However, with the growing
adoption of electric vehicles comes the challenge of managing their end-of-life
batteries responsibly. This is where the electric vehicle battery recycling
market steps in, offering a sustainable solution to address the environmental
impact of EV battery disposal. With the potential to revolutionize the battery
industry and reduce dependence on raw materials, the EV battery recycling
market is poised to play a crucial role in the transition to a greener and
cleaner transportation sector.
Electric Vehicle Battery Recycling Market accounted
for US$ 1.93 billion in 2022 and is estimated to be US$ 30.5 billion by 2032
and is anticipated to register a CAGR of 31.8%. Advancement in recycling
of EV (electric vehicle) batteries helps in improving metallurgical process by
increasing extraction and efficiency of copper, nickel and cobalt which may
reach over 95% yield for variety of batteries. Recycling of EV batteries also
helps in recovering most of lithium. Lithium-ion batteries are mostly used in
electric vehicles. Electric vehicle batteries are composed of hundreds and
thousands of individual lithium-ion cells. EV batteries lasts for 5 to 8 years.
Chile is the world’s largest known lithium reserves with 8 million tons.
Argentine reserves (2 million tons), China (1 million tons). Portugal and
Europe has smaller quantities of valuable raw material. There are different
types of batteries used in electric vehicles like lead-acid battery invented in
1859 with both combustion and electric engines, nickel-cadmium battery,
lithium-ion battery, solid-state battery, nickel-metal hydride battery etc.
Most popular Tesla battery pack has across 7,104,18650 cells divided into
16,444 cell modules. Lithium-ion batteries are best batteries for EV cars due
to their lightweight properties and it holds lot of energy. Demand for EV
vehicles is increasing which has expanded the battery recycling market.
Recycling process has different methods of separation for recovery of
materials. Smelting is the process which recovers salts and basic elements.
Direct recovery process is the low temperature process with minimal energy
requirement. Intermediate process is the process between two extremes. However,
rapid growth in zero emission vehicle like electric vehicles has become popular.
Awareness among people about environment, expensive fuel cost has given rise in
use of electric vehicles. Rising use of electric vehicles has fueled the
Electric Vehicle Battery Recycling market growth.

Key Highlights:
·
In May 2022, Orano has
developed its EV (electric vehicle) battery recycling project. Orano is
leveraging adapting and know how in addressing battery recycling process to
develop new innovative low-carbon process used for recovering and purifying
valuable materials that are contained in used battery modules like nickel,
cobalt, graphite, lithium and manganese for reuse in new components.
·
In December
2021, MG Motor in India has successfully recycled its first EV (electric vehicle)
battery. It has collaborated with Attero Recycling Technology to recycle and
reuse lithium-ion batteries for its ZS electric vehicle model. Attero Recycling
Technology has enabled extraction of 99% of metals from lithium-ion battery.
Analyst View:
Mining of metals is used in electric vehicle
batteries. Mining of metals is an energy intensive process and emits sulfur
oxide. Sulfur oxide can cause acid rain. To avoid this emission recycling of
batteries has become important. Recycling of electric vehicle batteries will
help in lowering harm to environment which is caused by mining. If batteries
gets rot in landfill the chemicals may leak into ground causing water and soil
pollution. Thus, to avoid it recycling is best way in protection of environment
and energy saving. Research and development is highly recommend to reduce the
high cost, extend shelf life of EV vehicle and address safety concerns
regarding overheating of EV vehicle. However, rising automotive industries and
increasing demand for EV (electric vehicles) due to rising price of fuels and
new innovations has given positive impact on Electric Vehicle Battery
Recycling market growth. As a result, market competition is intensifying, and
both big international corporations and start-ups are vying to establish
position in the market.
