• EV battery reuse industry from energy storage systems is expected to reach more than USD 15.7 billion by the end of 2035. The growth of the segment is driven by the increasing energy needs from different industries, which have created a considerable need for additional energy storage systems. As per IEA, the global energy demand rose by 2.2 % in 2023, which complements the energy storage industry growth.
   
• The EV charging application is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of over 60.5% by 2035. In the EV charging market, reused batteries are being used in fast-charging stations to lower dependency on the grid during peak hours. These powers systems help in energy distribution management and operational expenditure reduction for practically all providers of charging infrastructure.
   
• Gradual shift toward electric vehicles is proliferating the investments across the deployment of EV charging stations across the globe. As per Europe ACEA, over USD 290 billion investment is anticipated toward EV charging stations in Europe by 2030 to cope with the soaring adoption of electric vehicles. This will boost the need for charging stations, which will, in turn, drive industry growth.
   
• In base stations, particularly in the telecommunications industry, repurposed batteries are gaining traction for usage in backup power systems instead of using traditional lead-acid batteries owing to their high energy density and longer life. A large number of base stations are located in remote areas which require energy storage systems to aid the high energy demand, therefore complementing the business landscape.
   
• E-bikes, golf carts, and electric forklifts are examples of low-speed vehicles (LSVs) that are starting to use repurposed batteries for reducing the expenditures. Such applications will continue to grow as advancements in battery diagnostics and refurbishment are made, making it easier to support the EV industry's sustainability targets.
