Recycling of lithium-ion batteries in India- $1,000 million opportunity
The lithium-ion batteries market in India is expected to grow significantly in the next five years. Some of the important initiatives by the Government of India that will accelerate the growth of this market are the National Electric Mobility Mission Plan 2020, with a projection of getting 6-7 million electric vehicles on Indian roads by 2020 and a target of 175 GW installation of renewable energy by 2022. Recycling batteries will play a vital role in managing battery waste while supporting the increasing demand for energy storage solutions.
JMK Research estimates the annual lithium-ion battery market in India to increase at a CAGR of 37.5% to reach 132 GWh in 2030. Cumulative lithium-ion battery market size is estimated to increase from 2.9 GWh in 2018 to reach about 800 GWh by 2030. The adoption of recycling batteries will not only support the demand for raw materials but also reduce dependency on imports, thereby strengthening the domestic supply chain.
With this report, JMK Research is highlighting the current state of the lithium-ion battery market in India, the potential of recycling and the associated opportunities and challenges. Recycling batteries can mitigate the environmental hazards posed by discarded batteries while offering economic benefits through the recovery of valuable materials.
The report focuses on recycling mechanisms followed worldwide along with the benefits of recycling. Recycling batteries through advanced technologies will contribute to circular economy models and significantly reduce the carbon footprint of the battery supply chain. It also analyses the regulatory frameworks of international markets regarding recycling and management of lithium-ion battery waste and provides the Indian government with a few regulatory recommendations which would boost the battery recycling industry. Promoting recycling batteries through comprehensive policy frameworks will pave the way for sustainable growth in India’s battery market.
