[187 Pages Report] The Black Mass Recycling Market size was estimated at USD 6.39 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 7.02 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 10.16% to reach USD 12.59 billion by 2030.

Black mass recycling refers to the process involved in the treatment and recovery of valuable materials from spent batteries, particularly lithium-ion batteries. As lithium-ion batteries reach their end of life, they become a source of various metals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese, which are embedded in black mass after the battery is dismantled and the electrolyte, casing, as well as other components, are removed. Several factors are propelling the growth of the Black Mass Recycling market. These include increasing environmental awareness, strict regulations on battery disposal, technological advancements in recycling processes, and the surging demand and preference for electric vehicles (EVs) and electronic devices, which create a substantial need for battery raw materials. Additionally, economic incentives and support from governments worldwide towards sustainable practices bolster market growth. However, the complexity of the battery chemistries and the need for the development of cost-effective methods for the separation of materials present hurdles to the growth of the industry. Additionally, the lack of a standardized process for collecting and sorting end-of-life batteries and the technical limitations of battery recycling also pose significant challenges. However, key players can explore the integration of advanced AI, ML, and IoT technologies to overcome technical constraints and bolster growth. Moreover, the development of environmentally friendly and scalable separation technologies, advancements in the supply chain and logistics for better collection systems, and the creation of industry standards for EoL batteries are pivotal areas for growth.
