# Indonesia Battery Recycling Market Size, Share & Forecast, By Battery Type, Recycling Technology & End User, 2026–2032 --- ## Market Overview # CHAPTER 1 - Market Overview The Indonesia Battery Recycling Market is anchored by recurring replacement demand from automotive lead-acid batteries, with lithium-ion batteries adding a newer value pool. Indonesia had more than 166 million registered road vehicles across motorcycles, passenger cars, buses and goods vehicles in 2024, creating a structurally recurring stream of spent starter batteries for licensed collectors, smelters and secondary-lead producers. Java remains the operational center because battery manufacturers, vehicle assemblers, hazardous-waste processors and large recycling facilities cluster near industrial demand. PT Indra Eramulti Logam Industri alone reports more than 2,500 metric tons of lead production capacity per month in East Java, while the new integrated battery project adds 6.9 GWh of first-phase cell capacity in West Java. Market access is shaped by hazardous-waste regulation and increasingly formalized battery take-back requirements. Government Regulation No. 22 of 2021 governs environmental protection and B3 waste management, while batteries and accumulators are explicitly recognized within hazardous-waste management rules. Indonesia also maintains multiple SNI battery safety standards, although dedicated end-of-life recycling standards remain under development. The strategic transition is driven by rapid EV adoption but delayed end-of-life battery availability. Indonesia recorded 43,188 electric-car sales in 2024, while a government-linked recycling study projects only 13 end-of-life EV battery units in 2026, rising to 1,345 in 2028 and 7,766 in 2029. Investors therefore face an early-capacity versus future-feedstock timing decision. ## KPIs at a Glance * Market Value: USD 178 million (2025) * Dominant Region: Java (2025) * Dominant Segment: Lead-acid Batteries (2025) * Total Number of Players: 32 ## Future Outlook The Indonesia Battery Recycling Market is projected to move from USD 178 million in 2025 to USD 195 million in 2026 and USD 399 million by 2032. The underlying trajectory represents a 12.22% CAGR across the 2025-2032 calculation window, compared with 6.16% historical CAGR during 2020-2025. Growth accelerates as lithium-ion feedstock, OEM take-back systems and higher-value material recovery increase their contribution. The intermediate market size is projected at USD 349 million in 2031, with value growth increasingly outpacing physical tonnage as nickel, lithium, cobalt and copper recovery becomes more material to recycler economics. The forecast assumes lead-acid battery recycling remains the largest revenue pool through the near term while lithium-ion recycling becomes the principal source of incremental value. The ANTAM-IBC-CBL ecosystem is planned to add approximately 20,000 tons of annual battery recycling capacity alongside battery-cell and cathode-material production, creating a direct pathway for recycled material reintegration. Formal collection penetration is modeled to improve as hazardous-waste tracking, EPR mechanisms and OEM partnerships expand. The strategic implication is a gradual shift from commodity secondary-lead economics toward integrated recycling contracts, black-mass recovery, hydrometallurgical processing and closed-loop supply relationships with domestic battery producers. --- | | | | --- | --- | | **12.22%** Forecast CAGR (2025-2032 calculation window) | **$399 Mn** 2032 Projection | --- | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Base Year **2025** | Historical Period **2020-2025** | Forecast Period **2026-2032** | Historical CAGR **6.16%** | --- ## Scope of the Report # CHAPTER 2 - Scope of the Market * **Geographic Coverage:** Indonesia * **Historical Period:** 2020-2025 * **Base Year:** 2025 * **Forecast Period:** 2026-2032, using 2025 as the base-year reference * **Market Segments Covered:** 7 primary segmentation dimensions (Battery Type, End-Use Industry, Recovered Material Application, Customer Type, Sales Channel, Recycling Technology, Geography) * **Companies Covered:** Top 10 key players profiled * **Currency & Units:** USD, values expressed in USD Mn ### Segmentation Data Tree * Battery Type + Lead-acid Batteries - Automotive Starter Batteries - Industrial Lead-acid Batteries + Lithium-ion Batteries - EV Traction Batteries - Consumer and Storage Batteries + Nickel-based Batteries - Nickel-metal Hydride Batteries - Nickel-cadmium Batteries + Primary and Specialty Batteries - Alkaline and Zinc Batteries - Specialty Industrial Batteries * End-Use Industry + Automotive and Mobility - Internal Combustion Vehicles - Electric Vehicles + Industrial and Backup Power - Manufacturing Facilities - UPS and Data Infrastructure + Consumer Electronics - Mobile and Computing Devices - Portable Consumer Equipment + Energy Storage and Telecom - Stationary Energy Storage - Telecom Backup Systems * Recovered Material Application + Secondary Lead and Lead Alloys - New Battery Manufacturing - Cable and Industrial Alloys + Black Mass and Battery-Grade Metals - Cathode Material Production - Battery Chemical Refining + Plastics and Electrolyte Recovery - Polypropylene Reprocessing - Electrolyte Treatment and Recovery + Second-Life Energy Storage - Stationary Storage Systems - Backup Power Applications * Customer Type + Battery Manufacturers - Lead-acid Battery Producers - Lithium-ion Cell Producers + Automotive OEMs and Dealers - Vehicle Manufacturers - Authorized Dealer Networks + Industrial Fleet and Facility Operators - Commercial Fleet Operators - Industrial Facility Owners + Electronics and Waste Aggregators - Licensed B3 Collectors - Electronics Recovery Specialists * Sales Channel + Direct Offtake Contracts - Recycler-to-Battery Producer - Recycler-to-Metal Buyer + Licensed Waste Aggregator Networks - Regional Collection Networks - Industrial B3 Collectors + OEM Take-Back Programs - Dealer-Based Collection - Fleet Return Programs + Government and Industrial Tenders - Public Asset Disposal - Corporate Waste Contracts * Recycling Technology + Pyrometallurgical Recovery - Rotary Furnace Smelting - High-Temperature Metal Recovery + Hydrometallurgical Recovery - Leaching and Solvent Extraction - Battery-Grade Metal Refining + Mechanical Pre-Treatment - Battery Breaking and Shredding - Physical Material Separation + Reuse and Second-Life Processing - Battery State-of-Health Testing - Pack Repurposing and Integration * Geography + Java - Greater Jakarta and Banten - West, Central and East Java + Sumatra - Northern Sumatra Cluster - Southern Sumatra Cluster + Sulawesi and Maluku - Central Sulawesi Industrial Cluster - North Maluku Battery Cluster + Kalimantan and Eastern Indonesia - Kalimantan Industrial Markets - Bali, Nusa Tenggara and Papua **Market Scope Definition:** The market includes commercial revenue generated in Indonesia from the licensed collection, preprocessing, dismantling, smelting, hydrometallurgical recovery, material separation, reuse and recycling of spent automotive, industrial, consumer-electronics, stationary-storage and EV batteries.

Lithium-ion batteries are smaller today but create a disproportionately valuable future profit pool because recyclers can recover nickel, lithium, cobalt, copper and black mass for reintegration into domestic battery manufacturing. **Recycling Technology** - Hydrometallurgical recovery is expected to be the fastest-developing technology segment as lithium-ion volumes rise and battery-grade metal recovery becomes commercially material. Pyrometallurgy remains essential for lead-acid recycling, while mechanical preprocessing, safe discharge, shredding, black-mass separation and second-life testing become increasingly important capabilities for processors seeking integrated EV battery contracts. --- ## Regional Analysis # CHAPTER 6 - Regional Analysis Indonesia ranks among the most strategically relevant Southeast Asian battery-recycling markets because it combines the region's largest industrial mineral base, a major road-vehicle parc and a rapidly expanding domestic EV ecosystem. Electric-car sales represented 15% of Indonesian new-car sales in 2025, while Thailand approached one-quarter and Viet Nam nearly 40%, indicating that future regional recycling feedstock will increasingly shift toward lithium-ion batteries. ### KPI Summary * Focus Country Ranking: **1st** * Focus Country Market Size: **USD 178 Mn (2025)** * Indonesia CAGR (2025-2032): **12.22%** | Country | Market Size (USD Mn, 2025) | CAGR (%) | Electric Car Sales Share (%, 2025) | Motor Vehicle Production (000 units, 2024) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Indonesia | 178 | 12.22% | 15% | 1,197 | | Thailand | 162 | 10.70% | ~24% | 1,469 | | Viet Nam | 151 | 13.40% | ~40% | - | | Malaysia | 121 | 9.60% | ~7% | 790 | | Philippines | 92 | 11.00% | ~10% | - | ### Market Position Indonesia ranks first in the selected peer set at USD 178 million in 2025, supported by 1.197 million domestically produced vehicles in 2024 and an unusually large motorcycle replacement-battery base. ### Growth Advantage Indonesia's 12.22% modeled CAGR exceeds Thailand's 10.70% and Malaysia's 9.60%, although Viet Nam's faster EV adoption supports a modeled 13.40% recycling CAGR from a smaller industrial recycling base. ### Competitive Strengths Indonesia combines a planned 20,000-ton annual integrated recycling facility, more than 95% targeted metal recovery and upstream nickel integration, differentiating its closed-loop battery proposition from less mineral-integrated regional peers. Comprehensive analysis of key factors shaping the market, including growth catalysts, operational challenges and emerging opportunities across collection, processing and recovered-material applications. --- ## Growth Drivers # CHAPTER 7 - Growth Drivers, Challenges & Opportunities Comprehensive analysis of key factors shaping the Indonesia Battery Recycling Market, including growth catalysts, operational challenges and emerging opportunities across collection, processing and recovered-material applications. ## Growth Drivers ### Large Automotive Replacement-Battery Feedstock Indonesia's installed vehicle base creates recurring lead-acid replacement demand, with **more than 166 million registered road vehicles (2024, Indonesia)** supporting continuous spent-battery generation. * Motorcycles dominate the vehicle parc and create high-frequency battery replacement demand; domestic motorcycle sales reached **6,412,769 units (2025, Indonesia)**, sustaining collection volumes for secondary-lead processors. * Established recyclers already monetize this stream at industrial scale; IMLI reports production capacity above **2,500 metric tons per month (current company disclosure, Indonesia)**, demonstrating commercial depth beyond small informal smelters. * Formal secondary lead has immediate downstream offtake because Non Ferindo supplies major domestic battery manufacturers and export customers, reducing demand risk for recovered metal from **licensed used-battery recycling operations (current, Indonesia)**. ### Integrated EV Battery Manufacturing and Recycling Investment Indonesia is building a domestic closed-loop battery chain backed by **nearly USD 6 billion planned investment (2025, Indonesia)** across mining, materials, cells and recycling. * The integrated project includes **20,000 tons per year of battery recycling capacity (2025 project plan, Indonesia)**, materially increasing future lithium-ion processing scale and creating an anchor facility for collection networks. * Battery-cell output starts at **6.9 GWh and is planned to rise toward 15 GWh (2025 project plan, Indonesia)**, expanding future manufacturing scrap and eventual end-of-life feedstock available to domestic recyclers. * Advanced recycling technology targets **more than 95% metal recovery (2025 project specification, Indonesia)**, strengthening the economics of nickel, lithium, cobalt and copper recirculation into new battery materials. ### EV Adoption and Circular-Economy Policy Electric-car sales more than doubled and reached **15% of new-car sales (2025, Indonesia)**, accelerating the long-term need for traceable battery return and recycling systems. * The government's broader circularity agenda is supported by the **RPJMN 2025-2029 (Indonesia)** and the Bappenas 2025-2045 Circular Economy Roadmap, creating institutional support for battery lifecycle management. * Indonesia generated approximately **1.9 million tons of electronic waste (2022, Indonesia)**, creating a policy incentive to integrate battery recycling with broader electronics circularity and licensed waste-management infrastructure. * The recycling framework is moving toward EPR-based collection obligations, while current battery standards already include **SNI 8871:2019, SNI 8872:2019, SNI 8927:2020 and SNI 8928:2020 (Indonesia)**. --- ## Market Challenges ### Informal Collection Leakage and Environmental Compliance Formal recyclers compete with entrenched informal channels, while approximately **95% of Indonesian e-waste was mismanaged (2019, Indonesia)**, indicating substantial leakage from controlled recovery systems. * Historical health research identified **more than 200 illegal used lead-acid battery smelters (2016 study, Indonesia)**, illustrating the legacy scale of informal processing and the compliance gap formal operators must overcome. * Licensed operators incur pollution-control, wastewater-treatment and occupational-safety costs that informal competitors can avoid; Non Ferindo operates **rotary furnaces, dust collection and wastewater treatment systems (current disclosure, Indonesia)**. * Used batteries fall within regulated B3 waste streams, and businesses require environmental approvals, tracking and periodic reporting under **Government Regulation No. 22 of 2021 (Indonesia)**, increasing compliance barriers for new formal entrants. ### Delayed Availability of End-of-Life EV Batteries Large lithium-ion recycling investments arrive before mature feedstock volumes, with only **13 end-of-life EV batteries projected for 2026 (Indonesia)** in the KSP cohort model. * Projected end-of-life EV battery units rise to only **119 in 2027 (Indonesia)**, creating a near-term utilization challenge for facilities designed around substantially larger future recycling volumes. * The same model rises sharply to **1,345 units in 2028 and 7,766 units in 2029 (Indonesia)**, requiring recyclers to size plants for an inflection rather than today's limited EV battery scrap. * Until automotive end-of-life volumes mature, operators require production scrap, imported permitted feedstock, electronics batteries or regional collection contracts to bridge utilization against the planned **20,000-ton annual recycling capacity (project plan, Indonesia)**. ### End-of-Life Standards and Technical Capability Gaps Indonesia has battery safety standards but **no dedicated SNI for battery end-of-life management (2026 assessment, Indonesia)**, increasing technical and contractual uncertainty around EV battery reuse and recycling. * Existing standards focus primarily on operating safety, including **SNI IEC 62660-1/2/3 (Indonesia)**, rather than detailed procedures for discharge, dismantling, second-life qualification and recycling. * The KSP assessment identifies battery-pack disassembly and insulation-treatment infrastructure as **not yet fully in place (2026 assessment, Indonesia)**, creating safety and productivity gaps in upstream EV battery preprocessing. * Advanced processors must therefore fund testing, training and safe logistics before volumes scale, while the planned integrated facility targets **more than 95% metal recovery (2025 specification, Indonesia)**, raising the technical benchmark for local competitors. --- ## Market Opportunities ### Closed-Loop Lithium-ion Material Recovery High-value metals create a new profit pool as the integrated recycling project targets **more than 95% metal recovery (2025, Indonesia)**. * **Monetizable angle:** Recycling approximately **20,000 tons annually at planned full capacity (Indonesia)** creates revenue from black mass, nickel, lithium, cobalt, copper and recovered battery materials rather than disposal fees alone. * **Who benefits:** Battery manufacturers and recyclers gain local closed-loop supply as the integrated ecosystem is designed to produce **30,000 tons of cathode materials annually (project plan, Indonesia)**. * **What must change:** Feedstock aggregation and traceability must scale ahead of the projected jump from **13 end-of-life EV batteries in 2026 to 7,766 in 2029 (Indonesia)**. ### OEM Take-Back and Contracted Collection Networks OEM-linked recycling creates contracted feedstock access, with **Hyundai Glovis and PT Arah Environmental Indonesia collaborating on used-battery recovery (2026 assessment, Indonesia)**. * **Monetizable angle:** Multi-year collection, transport, treatment and resource-recovery contracts can reduce spot-market feedstock volatility as electric-car sales reached **15% of new-car sales in 2025 (Indonesia)**. * **Who benefits:** Licensed waste operators, recyclers and OEM dealer networks benefit from compliance outsourcing; PT TES AMM Indonesia is specifically identified as accepting **used EV batteries for recycling (2026 assessment, Indonesia)**. * **What must change:** EPR enforcement, dealer return points and digital tracking must expand beyond pilots as Indonesia addresses an estimated **1.9 million tons of e-waste generated in 2022**. ### Second-Life Batteries and Circular Electronics Infrastructure Battery reuse can extend asset life before material recycling, supported by a **2026 national EV battery collection and recycling pilot initiative (Indonesia)**. * **Monetizable angle:** State-of-health testing can redirect viable packs into stationary storage, creating a service margin before final recycling as Indonesia's battery-cell capacity expands from **6.9 GWh toward 15 GWh (project plan)**. * **Who benefits:** Energy-storage developers, telecom operators and industrial facilities gain lower-cost storage options as the government targets **13 million units of national EV production by 2035 (policy objective cited in 2026)**. * **What must change:** Dedicated reuse standards and certification must be introduced because the 2026 policy assessment confirms **no dedicated end-of-life SNI currently covers spent EV battery reuse or recycling**. --- --- ## Competitive Landscape # CHAPTER 8 - Competitive Landscape Overview Competition combines established secondary-lead recyclers, licensed hazardous-waste operators and emerging lithium-ion specialists, with barriers centered on feedstock access, B3 licensing, pollution control, recovery technology and long-term OEM offtake relationships. * **Key players:** 10 * **New Entrants (last 5 yrs):** 3 ### Company Profiles (Top 10 Players) | Company Name | Market Share | Headquarters | Founding Year | Core Market Focus | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | PT Non Ferindo Utama | - | Tangerang, Indonesia | 1986 | Used lead-acid battery recycling, secondary lead and lead alloys | | PT Indra Eramulti Logam Industri | - | Pasuruan, Indonesia | 1988 | Battery scrap recycling, block lead production and hazardous-waste utilization | | PT Indonesia Puqing Recycling Technology | - | Jakarta and Morowali, Indonesia | - | Lithium-ion battery recycling and resource recovery | | PT Nasional Hijau Lestari | - | South Jakarta, Indonesia | - | EV battery waste collection, recycling and disposal | | PT TES AMM Indonesia | - | Bekasi, Indonesia | - | E-waste processing and used EV battery recycling | | PT Arah Environmental Indonesia | - | Jakarta, Indonesia | - | Licensed hazardous-waste collection, treatment and battery resource recovery | | PT Prasadha Pamunah Limbah Industri | - | Bogor, Indonesia | 1994 | Hazardous-waste treatment, recycling and EV battery rejects management | | PT Asia Logam Perkasa | - | Tangerang, Indonesia | 2022 | Used battery and B3 metal-waste recycling with lead smelting | | Ningbo Contemporary Brunp Lygend Co., Ltd. | - | Ningbo, China | - | Integrated lithium-ion battery recycling and recovered battery materials | | Indonesia Battery Corporation | - | Jakarta, Indonesia | 2021 | Integrated battery ecosystem development including recycling partnerships | The report provides detailed cross-comparison of key players across 4 performance parameters to identify competitive strengths and weaknesses. ### Top 4 Cross-Comparison KPIs * Battery Feedstock Throughput * Recovered Metal Yield * Recycling Revenue Growth * EBITDA Margin ### Analysis Covered * **Market Share Analysis:** Evaluates formal processor scale, feedstock access and competitive positioning nationally * **Cross Comparison Matrix:** Benchmarks processing capacity, recovery performance and financial operating efficiency metrics * **SWOT Analysis:** Assesses technology strengths, feedstock risks, compliance barriers and expansion opportunities * **Pricing Strategy Analysis:** Compares treatment fees, recovered material pricing and contract economics structures * **Company Profiles:** Reviews operating footprint, technology capabilities, partnerships and downstream market focus --- --- ##

Lithium-ion batteries represented a smaller but higher-value portion of the market as electric mobility and electronics collection expanded. Formal processors monetized the market through secondary lead, recovered plastics, hazardous-waste processing fees and emerging lithium-ion material recovery. The 2025 value reflects formal commercial recycling activity within Indonesia rather than virgin battery manufacturing or unrelated waste-management revenue. **Data used:** USD 178 million market size (2025); approximately 96,000 tons processed battery feedstock (2025) **So what:** Investors should treat the existing lead-acid revenue pool as the cash-generating base funding the transition toward lithium-ion recycling. #### Q: How large is the Indonesia Battery Recycling Market expected to become by 2032? **A:** The market is projected to reach USD 399 million by 2032, representing a 12.22% CAGR from the 2025 base. Expansion is expected to accelerate after 2027 as lithium-ion battery volumes, EV manufacturing scrap, formal take-back programs and new dedicated processing capacity enter the system. Market value growth is modeled to outpace tonnage because lithium-ion feedstock carries a higher recovered-material value per ton than traditional lead-acid batteries. The forecast assumes continued lead-acid replacement demand alongside progressively larger nickel, lithium, cobalt, copper and black-mass recovery pools. **Data used:** USD 399 million forecast market size (2032); 12.22% CAGR (2025-2032) **So what:** Capacity planning should prioritize modular lithium-ion processing additions timed to feedstock availability rather than maximizing early fixed capacity. #### Q: Where will the main profit pool shift occur within battery recycling? **A:** The principal profit-pool shift is from conventional secondary-lead production toward lithium-ion material recovery, contracted OEM take-back and closed-loop battery-material supply. Lead-acid batteries remain commercially important because collection infrastructure and downstream buyers already exist, but their economics are more commodity-like. Lithium-ion recycling creates multiple value streams from black mass and recovered nickel, lithium, cobalt and copper. The planned integrated project targeting more than 95% metal recovery materially raises the technical and economic benchmark for recyclers that want to participate in the future battery supply chain. **Data used:** More than 95% targeted metal recovery; 20,000 tons annual planned integrated recycling capacity **So what:** Companies with hydrometallurgical capability and direct battery-material offtake can capture more value than processors competing only on waste-treatment fees. #### Q: What is the most important risk facing battery recyclers in Indonesia? **A:** The most important near-term risk is the mismatch between announced lithium-ion recycling capacity and the still-small pool of end-of-life EV batteries. A government-linked KSP model projects only 13 end-of-life EV batteries in 2026 and 119 in 2027 before volumes increase more substantially later in the decade. That creates utilization risk for capital-intensive facilities commissioned too early. Informal feedstock leakage and the absence of a dedicated end-of-life battery SNI also add collection, safety and compliance uncertainty, particularly for high-voltage lithium-ion packs. **Data used:** 13 projected end-of-life EV batteries (2026); 7,766 projected units (2029) **So what:** Investors should require secured manufacturing scrap, OEM contracts or diversified battery feedstock before underwriting large greenfield lithium-ion recycling plants. #### Q: How does Indonesia compare with other Southeast Asian battery-recycling markets? **A:** Indonesia ranks first in the selected peer set on the modeled 2025 battery-recycling market value, ahead of Thailand, Viet Nam, Malaysia and the Philippines. Its advantage comes from a large replacement-battery base, substantial domestic vehicle production and direct integration with nickel and battery-material manufacturing. Viet Nam and Thailand currently show higher electric-car sales shares, creating strong future lithium-ion feedstock potential, while Indonesia differentiates itself through upstream mineral integration and a planned 20,000-ton annual recycling project. This combination supports both current lead-acid scale and future closed-loop battery economics. **Data used:** USD 178 million Indonesia market size (2025); 15% electric-car sales share (2025) **So what:** Regional investors should view Indonesia as a scale platform for integrated recycling rather than solely as an end-of-life waste market. #### Q: What demand factors will drive battery-recycling volumes through 2032? **A:** Demand will be driven by three overlapping feedstock pools: recurring lead-acid replacements from the road-vehicle fleet, rapidly expanding EV sales and growing electronics and stationary-storage battery use. Indonesia's large motorcycle population sustains baseline collection volumes, while electric-car sales reached 15% of new-car sales in 2025. Battery manufacturing also creates production scrap before end-of-life EV volumes mature. As formal take-back and EPR systems improve, a larger portion of these streams should shift from informal handling toward licensed recyclers, raising both captured tonnage and recovered-material value. **Data used:** 15% electric-car sales share (2025); more than 166 million registered road vehicles (2024) **So what:** The strongest platforms will combine automotive replacement collection, OEM contracts and electronics feedstock rather than depend on a single battery source. --- ## Table of Contents # Table of Contents ### Market Report Structure Comprehensive coverage across three strategic phases, Market Assessment, Go-To-Market Strategy and Survey, delivering end-to-end insights from market analysis and execution roadmap to customer demand validation. ## Market Assessment Phase Supply-side and competitive intelligence covering market sizing, segmentation, competitive dynamics, regulatory landscape and future forecasts. ### 1.
