In 2023, the recycling of Ni-Cd batteries in Germany stood at approximately 1.14 thousand metric tons. Forecasts indicate a steady increase from 2024 through 2028, from 1.15 to 1.18 thousand metric tons. Year-on-year growth between these future periods remains marginal, around 0.86%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the five-year forecast period is about 0.70%, indicating slow but consistent expansion in recycling efforts.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in battery recycling technology, potential regulatory changes promoting recycling, and increasing environmental awareness potentially driving higher recycling rates. Additionally, the transition to alternative battery technologies might influence Ni-Cd recycling volumes.
