The Business Research Company's EV Battery Recycling Market Report 2026 – Market Size, Trends, And Global Forecast 2026-2035

LONDON, GREATER LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, February 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- "The electric vehicle (EV) battery recycling industry is gaining considerable traction as the adoption of EVs continues to accelerate worldwide. With increasing environmental concerns and the need for sustainable resource management, this sector is poised for significant expansion in the coming years. Let’s explore the market’s current size, growth drivers, leading regions, and emerging trends shaping its future.

Strong Growth Trajectory for the EV Battery Recycling Market Size
The EV battery recycling market has experienced rapid growth recently. It is projected to increase from $3.82 billion in 2025 to $4.88 billion in 2026, reflecting a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.7%. This growth during the past period has been largely driven by the rising adoption of electric vehicles, the widespread commercialization of lithium-ion batteries, scarcity of raw materials, early-stage recycling regulations, and the increasing generation of battery waste.

Looking ahead, the market is expected to continue expanding dramatically, reaching a value of $12.77 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 27.2%. Factors anticipated to drive this growth in the forecast period include stricter recycling regulations, securing supply chains for critical minerals, a higher volume of end-of-life EV batteries, significant investments in recycling infrastructure, and an emphasis on circular economy goals. Key trends to watch include expanding lithium-ion battery recycling capacity, wider use of hydrometallurgical recycling techniques, intensified efforts to recover critical minerals, automation integration in recycling operations, and the development of closed-loop battery supply chains.

Understanding EV Battery Recycling and Its Importance
EV battery recycling involves processing batteries from electric vehicles to recover valuable materials like lithium, cobalt, manganese, and nickel. These minerals are essential components for manufacturing new EV batteries, making recycling a critical step toward resource sustainability and reducing environmental impact. Lithium-ion batteries, the most commonly used type in electric vehicles, form the core of this recycling process.

Increasing Electric Vehicle Sales as a Major Market Driver
The surge in electric vehicle sales is a primary factor fueling the demand for EV battery recycling. EVs, which rely on batteries to power electric motors, contain critical minerals that can be extracted through recycling and reused in producing new batteries. According to the Global Electric Vehicle (EV) Outlook 2023 by the International Energy Agency (IEA), the total number of EVs globally is expected to rise sharply from approximately 30 million in 2022 to about 240 million by 2030, representing an average annual growth rate near 30%. EV sales are projected to surpass 20 million vehicles in 2025 and exceed 40 million in 2030, accounting for over 20% and 30% of all vehicle sales respectively. This rapid increase in EV adoption directly boosts the demand for battery recycling solutions.
