The global battery recycling market is booming, driven by high demand for key battery materials. Recycling ensures security of supply, particularly for countries that don’t have domestic production and has better ESG credentials than primary supply from mined metals. There has also been a rise in global recycling regulations which are mandating the level of recycled metal in new batteries and recycling recovery rates.
Challenges for recyclers include tight supply of used batteries, causing them to run at lower capacity, as well as falling battery metal prices, which both affect profit margins. Gain your competitive edge in this ever-changing market with the Fastmarkets Battery Recycling Outlook.
The Fastmarkets Battery Recycling Outlook includes 10-year battery supply and black mass price forecasts to give material manufacturers, battery makers, automakers and battery recyclers the insights and forecasts to understand and leverage the increasing recycled supply.
Having dedicated reports, like the Battery Recycling Outlook, ensures we are providing the latest updates when it comes to Nth Cycle’s recycling technology and modernizing the supply chain. We recommend anyone looking for deeper intelligence and insights into battery materials subscribe to Fastmarkets.
