The IDTechEx report highlights the platinum group metals (PGM) recycling sector as a proven model for critical material recovery. Today, 21‑34% of global PGM demand is satisfied from secondary sources, generating roughly 73% of the recovery market’s value despite modest tonnage. Forecasts show the PGM recovery market surpassing $10 billion by 2046, driven by automotive catalyst scrap and emerging hydrogen‑fuel‑cell demand. The analysis positions this success as a blueprint for scaling lithium‑ion battery and rare‑earth recycling as EV adoption accelerates.

IDTechEx forecasts the global EV lithium‑ion cell material market to reach about $154 billion by 2036. The report highlights the current dominance of nickel‑based NMC 811 and low‑cost LFP chemistries, with LFP priced at $34/kWh and NMC 811 at $39/kWh in 2025. Material...
The HEFA pathway currently supplies most sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) but its feedstock is projected to run out by the early 2030s, creating a so‑called HEFA tipping point. IDTechEx’s market forecast highlights alcohol‑to‑jet (ATJ) and gasification routes as the most...
IDTechEx highlights rapid growth in lithium‑ion battery additives and the emergence of direct lithium extraction (DLE) as a game‑changing supply method. Additives—binders, conductive agents, electrolyte enhancers—remain under 10% of cell mass but are critical for performance, with PFAS‑free alternatives gaining...
