In 2023, the recycling of Ni-Cd batteries in Germany was at a pivotal point as we forecast into 2024. From 2024 to 2028, the forecasted recycling values show a steady, albeit slight, decline. The value stands at 77.1 in 2024 and gradually decreases to 76.8 by 2028. This represents minimal year-on-year decreases, indicating a stable yet marginally declining trend. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the period is negative, reflecting a consistent reduction in recycling activity.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in battery recycling processes, shifts in regulatory frameworks aiming to minimize environmental impact, and potential reductions in Ni-Cd battery usage due to increasing preferences for alternative battery technologies. These factors could significantly influence recycling rates and methodologies in the coming years.
