TOP 10 COMPANIES IN EV BATTERY RECYCLING MARKET

The EV Battery Recycling Market is projected to reach $6.5 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 37.1% from 2023 to 2030. The growth of this market is driven by the increasing demand for electric vehicles, stringent regulatory frameworks for battery recycling, and increasing concerns over the depletion of raw material resources. However, safety issues related to the storage and transportation of used batteries restrain the growth of this market.

Increasing government incentives for battery recycling and innovations in battery recycling technologies are expected to generate market growth opportunities. However, the high costs of recycling EV batteries are a major challenge for the players operating in this market. Furthermore, increasing investments in battery recycling infrastructure in emerging economies is a key trend in the EV battery recycling market.
