Asia-Pacific Automotive Circular Economy Market is Estimated to Reach $133.31 Billion by 2034 - BIS Research

What is Automotive Circular Economy? 

The automotive circular economy refers to a closed-loop model in which vehicle components are continuously reused, refurbished, recycled, or remanufactured to extend their lifespan. This approach reduces raw material dependency, lowers carbon emissions, and aligns the industry with sustainability targets. Core processes include remanufacturing parts, battery reuse, composite recycling, and second-life applications in EVs. 

What is the Current Market Outlook for Asia-Pacific Automotive Circular Economy? 

With increasing environmental pressure and rapid EV penetration, the Asia-Pacific market is transitioning from linear production models to circular systems. Valued at $48.25 billion in 2024, the market is expected to exceed $133.31 billion by 2034. China, India, Japan, and South Korea are leading with strong policy support, while OEMs and aftermarket players are scaling reuse and recycling operations. Growth is strongest in battery recovery, vehicle remanufacturing, and composite material recycling. 

What is the key Innovation & Trends in the Asia-Pacific Automotive Circular Economy Market?
