Global Power Battery End-of-life Disassembly and Recycling Market Growth (Status and Outlook) 2026-2032
Description
The global Power Battery End-of-life Disassembly and Recycling market size is predicted to grow from US$ 811 million in 2025 to US$ 1380 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2026 to 2032.
The dismantling and recycling of power batteries refers to the process of separating and extracting metallic materials such as nickel, cobalt, manganese, and lithium from lithium-ion batteries whose capacity has decayed to the point where they can no longer meet power demands (usually below 80% of their initial capacity) through physical, chemical, or metallurgical processes, and then reusing them as resources. Its core objective is to build a closed-loop industrial chain of "battery-materials-battery" through two pathways: cascade utilization (such as energy storage systems) and dismantling and recycling (metal regeneration). The industry's gross profit margin is approximately 25-35%.
Market driving factors mainly include the following:
Dual pressures of environmental protection and resource security: Power batteries contain heavy metals such as cobalt and nickel. If discarded indiscriminately, they will pollute soil and water sources and accumulate through the food chain, harming human health. At the same time, my country's dependence on imported cobalt and nickel resources exceeds 90%, and the stability of lithium resource supply is affected by fluctuations in the international market. Recycling and reuse can reduce dependence on imported resources and ensure the security of the industrial chain.
Combined economic benefits and policy dividends: In 2024, the amount of retired power batteries in China reached 400,000 tons, with a recycling market size exceeding 48 billion yuan, and is expected to exceed 100 billion yuan by 2030. At the policy level, the State Council approved the "Action Plan for Improving the Recycling and Utilization System of Power Batteries for New Energy Vehicles," clarifying the primary responsibility of automakers for recycling and issuing 22 national standards to regulate the industry. Leading companies are accelerating the deployment of recycling networks and achieving economies of scale through "industry + capital" synergy.
Technological Iteration and Business Model Innovation: Companies are improving sorting efficiency and reducing labor costs through technologies such as AI visual recognition and intelligent flexible dismantling systems. Simultaneously, they are establishing long-term cooperation agreements with automakers and battery manufacturers to build a closed loop of "production-recycling-regeneration." For example, BYD uses high-temperature incineration technology to treat electrolytes, achieving harmless emissions; Tianqi Jintaige uses hydrometallurgical purification of lithium carbonate, directly using it in the production of lithium hexafluorophosphate, creating a cost advantage.
