EV Battery Recycling Market Demand Drivers: What’s Powering Industry Growth?
An increase in the sales of electric vehicles (EV) is expected to propel the growth of the EV battery recycling market going forward. EVs are vehicles that are either partially or fully powered by electricity and contain a battery that powers an electric motor. EV batteries contain critical minerals that can be reclaimed through recycling of end-of-life EV batteries and used for manufacturing new batteries that are used in electric vehicles. For instance, according to Global Electric Vehicle (EV) Outlook 2023, published by the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based autonomous intergovernmental organization, the total number of EVs will increase from about 30 million in 2022 to around 240 million in 2030, representing an average annual growth rate of roughly 30%. EV sales will account for more than 20 million vehicles overall in 2025 and more than 40 million in 2030 or more than 20% and 30% of all vehicle sales, respectively. Therefore, the increase in the sales of electric vehicles is driving the demand for the growth of the EV battery recycling market.
