The global automotive battery recycling market is projected to grow from USD 26.21 billion in 2025 to USD 43.42 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 10.6% during the forecast period. The report highlights key drivers, restraints, automotive battery recycling market trends, and financial structures shaping the industry. The market is growing rapidly as electrification spreads to all vehicle categories, like passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The surge in the manufacture of electric vehicles is a primary factor for the generation of significant scraps, and concurrently, the first large-scale return of batteries from decommissioned hybrids and electric vehicles is fueling the recycling streams. Governments in North America, Europe, and Asia are introducing and enforcing stringent legislation to ensure that batteries are disposed of properly, and at the same time, OEMs are looking for ways to close the loop on material recovery so that critical minerals such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel are available.

Based on chemistry, the lithium-based battery segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

The lithium-based battery segment is expected to register the highest growth in the market. The high growth for this segment is due to the widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in all major regions and the supremacy of lithium-ion chemistries as the principal energy source for both passenger and commercial vehicles. The significant number of gigafactories across the globe and the huge wave of retiring EV batteries are creating a large amount of recycled lithium-ion feedstock. Along with that, governments in the US, Europe, China, and others are implementing more rigid battery recovery laws that mandate recycling and responsible materials management with a greater degree of efficiency. Simultaneously, OEMs are favoring the building of closed-loop supply chains for the acquisition of critical minerals such as lithium, nickel, and cobalt, thereby providing significant economic incentives for advanced hydraulic and direct-recycling technologies. 

Europe is projected to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period.

Europe is expected to register the highest growth in the global automotive battery recycling market, due to the fast adoption of EVs, stricter regulations, and the rapid development of recycling facilities. The EU Battery Regulation is at the forefront of this transformation as it sets new standards for recovery efficiencies, requires mandatory use of recycled material, and provides easy tracking of the battery value chain, which in turn pushes car manufacturers and recyclers to invest heavily in closed-loop systems. A considerable amount of end-of-life hybrid and electric vehicle batteries, together with huge production scraps from gigafactories, are all contributing to this strong and scalable feedstock pipeline.
