Fastmarkets NewGen Battery Recycling Outlook
Gain a competitive edge in the emerging battery recycling market
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 NewGen Battery Recycling Outlook.
The Fastmarkets NewGen 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.
Our key findings:
- We expect total lithium battery demand to increase six-fold over the next ten years
- Transport is the main driver of growth, representing more than 80% of the market
- We expect the lithium, nickel and cobalt markets to be in deficit in 2033, driving demand for recycled materials
- End-of-life supply won’t become the main source of battery scrap until 2033
