The Latin America, Middle East and Africa Second Life EV Battery Market would witness market growth of 44.9% CAGR during the forecast period (2025-2032).
The Brazil market dominated the LAMEA Second Life EV Battery Market by Country in 2024, and would continue to be a dominant market till 2032; thereby, achieving a market value of $692 million by 2032. The Argentina market is showcasing a CAGR of 45.7% during (2025 - 2032). Additionally, The UAE market would register a CAGR of 43.4% during (2025 - 2032). The Brazil and UAE led the LAMEA Second Life EV Battery Market by Country with a market share of 33.5% and 13.7% in 2024. The South Africa market is expected to witness a CAGR of 45.8% during throughout the forecast period.
As more people buy electric vehicles (EVs), the LAMEA region (Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa) is slowly starting to use second-life EV batteries. This is because the demand for energy storage is growing and the goals of the circular economy are getting stronger. Old EV batteries that still have 70–80% of their capacity are being used again for backup systems, microgrids, and grid support. Brazil and other Latin American countries are starting pilot projects, and their governments are putting in place policies for managing battery waste and creating a circular value chain. The area is starting to move from recycling to reuse, but development is still in its early stages. This is because the potential for renewable energy is growing and regulations are changing.
Companies in LAMEA are creating second-life battery ecosystems by working together, managing the batteries' lifecycles, and reusing them in specific applications. OEMs, recyclers, and energy-storage companies work together to collect, test, and repurpose used EV batteries for low-demand uses like backup power for businesses and smoothing out renewable energy. OEMs have an edge right now because it's easier for them to get batteries, but first movers can catch up by building up their logistics and certification systems. As rules become stricter and more electric vehicles are retired, competition will focus on safety, cost-effectiveness, and integrating the value chain. This will make it easier for second-life battery systems to be widely used in the area.

Brazil is emerging as a promising market for second-life EV batteries, driven by growing EV adoption, strong automotive manufacturing capabilities, and rising renewable-energy integration. Government initiatives such as the National Policy on Solid Waste Management and the National Policy on Climate Change promote battery collection, reuse, and lifecycle extension, supporting circular-economy goals. The market is shifting from traditional recycling to repurposing EV batteries—many retaining 70–80% capacity—for stationary storage applications like grid balancing, backup power, and renewable integration. However, challenges such as limited collection and repurposing infrastructure, certification gaps, and complex logistics across Brazil’s vast geography hinder large-scale adoption. Automotive OEMs, energy-storage firms, and utilities are exploring partnerships to build reuse ecosystems, while international players may enter via collaborations. With supportive regulation and rising energy-storage demand, Brazil’s second-life EV battery market holds strong potential but remains at a nascent stage requiring greater standardization and commercial maturity.
