"Industrial segment, by source, is estimated to account for the second largest share during the forecast period"
The industrial segment is projected to secure the second-largest share in the forecast period. The growing electrification of industrial processes is driving this rise. Batteries are being used in material handling machinery, energy storage systems, and other industrial applications. The recycling sector will see an increase in industrial battery waste as these batteries approach the end of their useful lives. Government rules emphasizing resource recovery and sustainable industrial practices are also anticipated to fuel expansion in this market..
"By battery chemistry, Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt (Li-NMC) segment is accounted for the second largest share during the forecast period
Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt (Li-NMC) battery chemistry is expected to have the second largest market share during the forecast period. Their extensive application in electric vehicles, a quickly growing industry, is responsible for their prominence. NMC batteries are a recommended option for automotive applications because they provide a balance between energy density, power output, and lifespan. The amount of NMC batteries nearing the end of their useful lives will increase along with the market for electric vehicles, offering recycling businesses a big chance to recover precious elements like nickel, cobalt, and lithium.
"Europe region is estimated to account for the second largest share during the forecast period"
Europe is expected to be the second largest market for lithium-ion battery recycling. This position is supported by multiple factors. First off, the area has been a one of the leaders in the use of electric vehicle and renewable energy sources adoption, which has resulted in a significant number of end-of-life batteries. Secondly, investments in recycling infrastructure have been pushed by strict environmental rules and an emphasis on the concepts of the circular economy. Moreover, there is also a captive market for recycled battery materials in Europe due to the existence of major vehicle and battery manufacturers.
