Europe Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Market

Market Analysis and Size

Lithium ion battery comprises of lithium ions which moves from negative electrode to the positive electrode through the electrolyte during charging and moves backwards at the time of charging. These batteries are rechargeable and commonly used in consumer electronics and automobiles. It consists of four components cathode, anode, separator and electrolyte. Anode helps in storing and releasing of lithium ions from cathode, enabling the pass of current through an external circuit. Cathode acts as a source of lithium ions which determines the capacity and average voltage of the battery. Electrolytic is basically the medium which helps in the movement of the ions. Separator basically helps in preventing the contact between the cathode and anode. Aluminium foils are used as a current collector for cathodes and copper foils are used as a current collector for anodes. The combination of all four components makes up a cell which is used to power various applications. With cluster of cells module is formed and with cluster of modules a pack is formed. Lithium ion batteries offer high energy density, voltage capacity and lower self-discharge rate than other rechargeable batteries. This makes them highly suitable for wide range of applications.

Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

  • Rising demand for smart phones & consumer electronics

The demands and requirements of consumer electronics have continued to increase at an exponential rate. Lithium-ion batteries are common in consumer electronics. They are one of the most popular types of rechargeable battery for portable electronics, with proper energy-to-weight ratios, high open circuit voltage and low self-discharge rate. The advancement in technologies has compacted the size of electronic devices making it slimmer and lightweight which is increasing the requirement of lithium ion battery. The lithium ion battery last longer, charge faster and have a higher power density for more battery life in a lighter package.

  • Penetration of low carbon generation transportation fleet

Road transport emissions account for almost 75% of all transport GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions and 11% of global GHG emissions. Electrification is the key decarburization lever for road transport. In contrast, Electric vehicle currently emits 30-60% fewer emissions than combustion engines depending on the power mix. Without action, global road transport emissions would continue to grow as a result of increased transport needs supplied by fossil fuels. However, electrification helps to reduce CO2 emissions and improve air quality by avoiding mixing of toxic gases. To mitigate climate change and create a fossil fuel-free economy, the global community has agreed that GHG emissions must be reduced rapidly and significantly. Li-ion batteries are thus considered as the promising clean technology to replace the conventional fossil-fuel powered device. Compared to the other high-quality rechargeable battery technologies, Li-ion batteries have highest energy densities of any battery technology today (100-265 Wh/kg or 250-670 Wh/L). Li-ion batteries are also used to power electrical systems for some aerospace applications, being environmental friendly & lightweight is the major factor among others.

Opportunities

  • Growing number of R&D initiatives and government facilities for recycling

Lithium ion batteries have wide range of application and with more efforts put in through research and development, more advance characteristics are being developed. Companies are building new manufacturing facilities for fulfilling the surging demands of lithium ion batteries in application for electrical vehicles, medical devices and data communication. The new facilities and growing research and development is creating new opportunity for growth of global lithium ion battery market.

Restraints/Challenges

  • Safety issues related to the storage and transportation of spent batteries

Lithium ions are widely used in various applications such as consumer electronics, industrial applications, medical devices and in automobiles. Lithium ion batteries are light weight and are now designed to be flexible in nature with variable shapes. However, lithium ion batteries can be extremely dangerous if defective or overcharged, packaged incorrectly, misused or mishandled. Lithium is highly reactive and flammable and can therefore cause severe damage to life and property. These characteristics can cause harm during storage, usage and transportation of lithium ion.

  • Issues related to overheating of lithium-ion battery

Despite their technological promise, Li-ion batteries still have a number of shortcomings, particularly with regards to safety. Li-ion batteries have a tendency to overheat, and can be damaged at high voltages. In some cases, this can lead to thermal runaway and combustion. These batteries require safety mechanisms to limit voltage and internal pressures, which can increase weight and limit performance in some cases. Li-ion batteries are also subject to aging, meaning that they can lose capacity and frequently fail after a number of years. Another factor limiting their widespread adoption is their cost, which is around 40% higher than Ni-Cd.

Post COVID-19 Impact on Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Market

COVID-19 created a major impact on the lithium-ion battery recycling market as almost every country has opted for the shutdown for every production facility except the ones dealing in producing the essential goods.

Post pandemic, the growth of the lithium-ion battery recycling market is attributed to the increasing adoption of electrification of automotive industry across all regions and countries. Although automotive industry faced major issues during pandemic, the electric vehicle sales jumped to higher levels in post pandemic scenario. Also demand for consumer battery operated electronics has increased over the period of time which is acting as a driver for this market’s growth.

Manufacturers are making various strategic decisions to bounce back post-COVID-19. The players are conducting multiple research and development activities to improve the technology involved in the lithium-ion battery recycling. With this, the companies will bring advanced technologies to the market. In addition, government initiatives for usage of electric vehicle has led to the market's growth

Recent Development

  • In February 2022, Glencore entered into a strategic partnership with Britishvolt to develop a world-leading ecosystem for battery recycling in the UK.  With this, the company tends to develop other recycling activities such as the refining of black mass into battery-grade raw materials across the market.
  • In February 2022, Neometals Ltd. announced a joint venture with a German company named SMS Group for commercializing the lithium-ion battery recycling process. Both companies have joined forces to establish Primobius company focusing on battery recycling. Along with the formation of the new company, the joint venture also include three other core projects, mineral exploration, and R&D activities. This will improve the geographical reach and portfolio of Neometals Ltd. in near future.
