Industrial Batteries Market Dynamics:
Driver: Increase in demand for recycled products and materials
The increasing interest in utilizing recycled materials and batteries is anticipated to promote research and development in the recycling of both batteries and materials. The upward path in material costs, coupled with a growing demand for eco-friendly or recycled products, is projected to create various sectors for growth within the battery recycling market. The mounting interest in recycled products and materials serves as a significant change, expected to have a substantial impact on the electric vehicle battery recycling market. This heightened demand is driven by a worldwide movement toward sustainable practices, a heightened environmental consciousness, and a growing awareness of the limited availability of natural resources.
Restraints: Safety issues related to storage and transportation of spent batteries
Spent batteries has hazardous chemicals, including acids and heavy metals such as mercury. In July 2007, a fire sparked by a lithium-based battery led to the ignition of over 132,000 liters of chemicals, resulting in the closure of two major highways in the UK. These batteries retain some charge after use, posing a risk of unexpected discharges that can harm people or property. It's crucial to handle all batteries cautiously, assuming they still have a charge unless properly labeled, and store them carefully, especially small batteries that could be swallowed by children. Larger lithium-based batteries, commonly found in cars, may be incorrectly identified as lead-acid batteries if not labeled accurately by local manufacturers. To prevent hazards, these batteries must be separated from used lead-acid batteries before storage. Concerns about the potential dangers associated with used batteries have led to regulations by state or national governments governing their storage and transportation.
Opportunity: Rising adoption of lithium-ion batteries due to decline in prices
Expensive lithium-ion batteries have held back market growth since the 1990s. These batteries have various parts, and some are subsidized. The main part, called the cell, makes up about half the cost, with the rest going to electronics, assembly, and packaging. Recent promises from battery and car companies suggest a significant price drop. A Bloomberg NEF survey shows the average battery pack cost went down to USD 137 per kWh in 2020, dropping 88% since 2010. Predictions say prices might go as low as USD 58 per kWh by 2030 and USD 44 per kWh by 2035. Tesla's Gigafactory-1 is one effort to increase battery production and lower prices. With advancements like large-scale manufacturing and better technology, lithium-ion battery prices are expected to decrease. This decline is likely to boost the renewable energy and grid storage markets, favoring lithium-ion batteries and increasing their market share. As a result, there could be a growing demand for recycling used automotive lithium-based batteries.
Challenge: High recycling cost and dearth of technologies
The Centre for Energy Economics (CEE) reports that globally, only 1-3% of lithium is recovered from all applications. Companies like Toxco (US) and Umicore (Belgium) are working on technologies to extract lithium from batteries. However, challenges for the industry include the high recycling costs, lack of proper storage for used batteries, and a shortage of recycling technologies. Recycling lithium-ion batteries is costly, and traditional methods can be energy-intensive. This makes recycling economically challenging compared to extracting materials from raw sources. Additionally, the diverse chemistries of lithium-ion batteries, varying among manufacturers, make it difficult to develop universal and cost-effective recycling processes. The need for customized recycling solutions adds complication and cost to the process, negatively impacting the market for electric vehicle battery recycling.

Because off-grid and on-grid renewable energy installations are steadily increasing in both developed and developing nations, the grid level application has the greatest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of all the other applications. For many years, batteries have been used in energy storage applications. But as a resource to enable larger levels of power generation from renewable energy, battery storage technology has gained more attention recently. The demand for stationary industrial batteries is growing majorly due to increase in the need for energy security and expansion of renewable energy infrastructure.
"Asia Pacific region is expected to hold the largest market and CAGR during the forecast period."
During the forecast period Asia Pacific is anticipated to dominate the global market for industrial batteries. This can be attributed to the region's rapid industrialization, rising need for renewable energy, and expanding automotive industry, which includes the development of electric vehicles (EVs). The need for effective energy storage solutions is fueled by the significant investments made in smart grid and infrastructure development by nations like China, India, and Japan. Government programs promoting renewable energy and developments in battery technology are also driving market expansion in this area.
