Thailand EV Battery Recycling & Second-Life 2027 Market Intelligence

Thailand's 30:30 EV policy has front-loaded BEV registrations from ~9,700 in 2022 to ~120,000 in 2024 and an estimated ~200,000+ in 2026, creating an end-of-life battery cliff that arrives 2028-2030. Cumulative EV battery installed base entering the scrap pipeline 2027-2030 reaches roughly 25-40 GWh, a structural step-change from the THB 1-2B (2024) salvage market. 2027 catalysts: BYD Rayong gigafactory plus Foxconn-PTT Horizon Plus plus EA Amita Technology requiring local cell-to-pack reverse logistics, BOI Section 8 promotion for EOL processors, the Pollution Control Department Battery EPR Order, the Ministry of Industry Vehicle End-of-Life Bill, and Korean (SungEel) and Chinese (GEM) joint-venture scoping. Report maps the route mix (NMC hydromet, LFP direct, second-life ESS, refurbishment), operator concentration, regulation, unit economics, and 2031 scenarios.
