The global battery industry is entering a structural transformation. What was once viewed as an environmental obligation is now becoming a strategic growth engine, driven by regulation, data transparency, and supply chain security. Between 2025 and 2035, the battery recycling and second-life battery market is set to move decisively from fragmented experimentation to industrial-scale deployment, underpinned by binding policy frameworks-most notably in Europe-and rising geopolitical pressure to localize critical materials.
According to industry forecasts, the market will exceed USD 3.59…
As electrification reshapes the global automotive industry, a quieter but far more consequential race is underway-one that will determine whether electric mobility becomes economically sustainable at scale. Stena Recycling’s decision to expand its investment in electric vehicle (EV) batteries beyond SEK 500 million marks a decisive shift in how the world’s battery value chain is being re-engineered for the long term.
This is not merely a recycling story. It is a global signal that the EV economy is entering its…
Introduction
China’s implementation of strict EV battery recycling regulations in 2026 marks a defining moment for the global electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem. Far from being a regional regulatory update, this policy represents a strategic shift toward a mature, circular, and resilient global EV economy. For C-level executives navigating electrification, sustainability, and long-term capital allocation, China’s move offers critical insights into where the global market is headed next.
As the world’s largest EV manufacturer and battery producer, China’s actions inevitably set…
