The Reports and Insights, a leading market research company, has recently releases report titled “Recycled Cobalt Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2025-2033.” The study provides a detailed analysis of the industry, the report also includes competitor and regional analysis and highlights the latest advancements in the market. The global Recycled Cobalt Market Forecast was valued at US$ 1,563.4 Million in 2024 and is expected to register a CAGR of 12.1% over the forecast period and reach US$ 4,370.4 Million in 2033.
Recycled Cobalt Market Overview
As industries work to support the energy transition, the recycled cobalt market is starting to gather pace. Cobalt is crucial for lithium-ion batteries, superalloys, and electronics. End-of-life batteries, scrap from manufacturing, and industrial waste are being tapped for cobalt to reduce reliance on primary minerals. The market is driven by concern for the environment, and due to supply chain risks and cost savings from implementing circular economy practices. By recycling cobalt, we can limit the environmental harm and secure the supply chain on which the electric vehicle (EV) and renewable energy sectors are reliant.
The recycled cobalt market is also expanding in all regions, namely Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific, owing to China and South Korea having most of the battery recycling infrastructure. Big businesses like Umicore, Li-Cycle, Glencore, and GEM Co. A major Indian steelmaker is investing heavily in cobalt recovery in the country. Vedanta Ltd. is investing heavily in advanced hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical processes for maximizing cobalt recovery rates. The outlook for the battery recycling market is strengthened by government initiatives and the imposition of extended producer responsibility (EPR) law. As EV production continues to expand rapidly, volumes of end-of-life batteries are continuously generated, which act as feedstock for cobalt recycling.

Recycled Cobalt Market Growth Factors & Challenges
Demand for electric vehicles is rising. Lithium-ion battery production is increasing. Sustainability regulations are on the rise. All of these will help the lithium-ion battery recycling market grow. Manufacturers are now looking to recycled cobalt because cobalt mined from the earth is becoming increasingly difficult to find. They are also concerned about the DRC’s monopoly on the metal. Technical progress is improving recovery efficiency, purity, and cost of recycling. Growing partnerships between battery manufacturers and recycling companies are improving closed-loop supply chains and creating growing markets.
The quality and consistency of cobalt recovered can be affected by the origin of the material or how it was recovered. Not having a standard recycling directive and a lack of consumer awareness make it difficult for them to be widely adopted. The sector grapples with achieving transparency within the supply chain (i.e., knowing where its products come from) and with finding ‘‘cleaner’’ and less energy-intensive recycling solutions.
Key suggestions for the report
- The end-of-life batteries source segment is expected to dominate the market share during the forecast period. This is duе to thе significant dеmand for cobalt in lithium-ion battеriеs, еspеcially in еlеctric vеhiclеs (EVs).
- The electric vehicle batteries segment is expected to dominate the market share during the forecast period. This dominance is attributed to thе rapid growth of thе еlеctric vеhiclе industry, which significantly incrеasеs thе dеmand for cobalt in lithium-ion battеriеs.
- The hydrometallurgical process recycling technology segment is expected to dominate the market share during the forecast period. This is duе to thе incrеasing prеfеrеncе for hydromеtallurgical tеchniquеs, as thеy offеr highеr rеcovеry ratеs, arе morе еnvironmеntally friеndly.
- The automotive end-user segment is expected to dominate the market share during the forecast period. This dominance is due to thе rapid growth of еlеctric vеhiclе (EV) production, which rеquirеs substantial amounts of cobalt for battеry manufacturing.
- The North American region is expected to dominate the market share during the forecast period, owing to the strong dеmand from thе Еlеctric Vеhiclе (EV) sеctor and incrеasing invеstmеnt in sustainablе practicеs.
