Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A)

In March 2025, Glencore plc acquired Li-Cycle Holdings Corp to secure a stronger position in lithium-ion battery recycling, emphasizing closed-loop battery materials supply.​

There has been a record $170 million in M&A deals in the lithium-ion battery recycling sector in 2025, with several recyclers securing municipal waste contracts and strategic acquisitions to expand geographic and technical capabilities.​

The M&A trend is heavily influenced by the need for technological integration and market access, as major players race to improve recycling efficiency and scale

Key Players:

Glencore, Raw Materials Company, Umicore, Neometals Ltd, American Manganese Inc., Retriev Technologies, Li-Cycle Corp, SNAM (A subsidiary of Floridienne Group), TES and Duesenfeld GmbH.

Growth Forecast Projected:

The Global Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Market is anticipated to rise at a considerable rate during the forecast period, between 2025 and 2032. In 2024, the market is growing at a steady rate, and with the rising adoption of strategies by key players, the market is expected to rise over the projected horizon.

Key Industry Developments

Closed-loop recycling partnerships with OEMs (e.g., Tesla, Tata) are now standard, integrating battery recycling directly into EV and stationary battery manufacturing.​

Direct recycling methods, AI-driven sorting, and advancements in recovering graphite and LFP cathode materials are focal technology areas for efficiency and profitability improvements.​

Stringent regulations, including the EU's 95% recovery target and expanded extended producer responsibility (EPR) mandates, are accelerating recycling adoption and technology upgrades.​

Resource security remains a top driver, with recycling expected to supply 20-30% of lithium and 15% of cobalt/nickel needs by 2030.​

The sector is addressing market bottlenecks (such as safe logistics, black mass processing, and second-life battery certification), while supply chain reliability and local "battery hubs" are growing priorities for EV manufacturers globally
