Italy Lithium-ion Battery Market

Italy Lithium-ion Battery Market Overview:

The Italy lithium-ion battery market size reached USD 1,252.62 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 3,256.60 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 11.20% during 2025-2033. Government incentives for EVs, growing energy storage needs, rising demand for sustainable transport, and increasing investments in domestic battery production are some of the factors contributing to the Italy lithium-ion battery market share. Supportive EU policies and expanding EV infrastructure also contribute to accelerating adoption and production growth.

Italy Lithium-ion Battery Market Trends:

Recycling Infrastructure Gaining Ground

Investment is picking up in Italy’s battery recycling infrastructure, particularly for recovering critical raw materials like lithium, nickel, and cobalt. A new facility is under evaluation in Portovesme, aimed at processing battery waste from European sources. The operation would rely on an established metallurgical site in Sardinia and draw material through logistics and supply chains from Germany. One partner is contributing its proprietary hydrometallurgical recycling technology, while the other is leading the planning and financial backing. The goal is to close the loop on battery materials, support European self-sufficiency, and reduce environmental impact by reclaiming usable elements from battery scrap. A feasibility study is in progress to assess the economic and technical potential of the project. These factors are intensifying the Italy lithium-ion battery market growth. For example, in December 2024, Li-Cycle and Glencore resumed plans to explore a new lithium-ion battery recycling Hub in Portovesme, Italy. Glencore would lead and fund the study, using its Sardinian metallurgical complex. Li-Cycle would contribute technical support and its patented recycling tech. The facility would produce lithium, nickel, and cobalt from battery waste, supplied by Glencore’s network and Li-Cycle’s German facility near Magdeburg. A pre-feasibility study is underway.

Surge in Battery Manufacturing Capacity Near Naples

A major production facility for lithium-ion batteries is taking shape in southern Italy, with plans to support 8 GWh of annual output. A German systems supplier has been tapped to provide a complete electrode coating setup, reflecting a push toward self-sufficiency in energy storage components. The high-value investment underscores growing industrial commitment to large-scale battery manufacturing in the country, especially in regions with strategic logistics and skilled labor. The project marks a notable move in expanding the domestic supply chain for electric mobility and grid applications, aligning with broader European efforts to reduce dependence on external sources for key technologies. This points to a scaling-up of both infrastructure and ambition in the Italian battery sector. For instance, in December 2024, Germany’s Dürr Group secured a high-value order from Italian battery manufacturer FIB (part of Seri Industrial Group) for a lithium-ion battery production facility in Teverola, near Naples. Dürr would deliver a turnkey electrode coating system. The plant, valued in the high double-digit Million-Euro range, would support an annual production capacity of 8 GWh, marking a significant investment in Italy’s battery manufacturing sector.
