Asia-Pacific Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) Battery Recycling Market Insights 2025-2035: Applications, Products, Countries - A US$11+ Billion Opportunity, Growing at 66.51% CAGR

Dublin, Oct. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Asia-Pacific Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) Battery Recycling Market: Focus on Application, Product, and Country - Analysis and Forecast, 2025-2035" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Asia-Pacific LFP battery recycling market is projected to reach $11.03 billion by 2035 from $49.2 million in 2024, growing at a CAGR of 66.51% during the forecast period 2025-2035.

The expanding use of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries in energy storage systems and electric cars is driving the fast expansion of the Asia-Pacific LFP battery recycling industry. Recycling efforts are being accelerated by environmental goals and supportive government rules regarding safe disposal. Long-term growth is further reinforced by regional partnerships and recycling technology advancements, which complement APAC's shift to renewable energy.



Market Introduction

The market for recycling lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries has grown significantly in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region thanks to the fast expansion of EVs, renewable energy sources, and energy storage devices. Because LFP batteries are more affordable, safer, and have a longer lifespan than other lithium-ion chemistries, they are becoming more and more popular in Asia, especially for mass-market EVs and stationary storage. Because of this, it is anticipated that the amount of wasted LFP batteries would increase dramatically, necessitating the development of effective recycling techniques.

Government policies throughout Asia-Pacific, particularly in China, Japan, South Korea, and India, are encouraging circular economy models and requiring appropriate battery disposal. As the biggest producer of EVs and batteries, China sets the standard for the area with its vertically integrated recycling infrastructure and encouraging regulations. Growing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) pledges from governments, energy firms, and automakers that prioritize sustainability and responsible resource management are also helping the recycling sector.

The recovery efficiency of LFP batteries is also being improved by technological developments in the hydrometallurgical, pyrometallurgical, and direct recycling processes. Adoption is also being accelerated by strategic partnerships between governments, battery OEMs, and recyclers. When taken as a whole, these factors set up the APAC LFP battery recycling market for robust, sustained expansion.
