Top Products and Market Share

Product Key Offerings logo Key Offerings

  • Recycled Battery Materials: ABTC produces recycled battery materials (lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese). Market share is still developing as recycling efforts scale. Competitors include Redwood Materials, Li-Cycle, and Ascend Elements. The market is highly competitive with growing demand, and many competitors are vying for market share based on innovative recycling technologies. Revenue is not currently significant but is expected to grow as production capacity increases.
  • Lithium Hydroxide: Planned production of lithium hydroxide from its Nevada lithium resource. The company is aiming to capture a share of the growing lithium market for battery production. Competitors include Albemarle, SQM, Ganfeng Lithium and Livent. No current market share but is expected to be in the lithium market once they start producing Lithium Hydroxide from their Nevada location

Market Dynamics

industry overview logo Industry Overview

The battery recycling and battery material extraction industry is experiencing rapid growth, driven by the increasing demand for electric vehicles and energy storage systems. Concerns about supply chain security and environmental sustainability are fueling investments in domestic battery material production and recycling.

Positioning

ABTC is positioned as a technology-driven company focused on sustainable battery material production through recycling and innovative extraction methods. Its competitive advantage lies in its proprietary recycling process and its access to domestic lithium resources.

Total Addressable Market (TAM)

The TAM for battery recycling and materials is estimated to be in the hundreds of billions, expected to reach $100-$200 billion by 2030 (depending on source). ABTC aims to capture a portion of this market through its recycling operations and lithium production.
