Global Recycled Metals Market Research Report 2024(Status and Outlook)

Global Recycled Metals Market Research Report 2024(Status and Outlook)



Report Overview

Recycled Metals is Metals are valuable materials that can be recycled again and again without degrading their properties. Metals can be classified as ferrous and non-ferrous. Ferrous metals are combinations of iron with carbon. Some common ferrous metals include carbon steel, alloy steel, wrought iron, and cast iron. Non-ferrous metals product segment includes metals such as aluminum, copper, zinc, nickel, and lead.

Recycled metals play a vital role in sustainable resource management and help reduce the environmental impact of metal production. As industry and consumers increasingly focus on environmental considerations, demand for recycled metals will continue to grow, helping to achieve a more sustainable and circular economy.

The global Recycled Metals market size is projected to reach US$ 461,782 Million by 2029 from US$ 366,699 million in 2022 at a CAGR of 3.59% during 2023-2029. Rapid growth in the construction industry is key to driving the global Recycled Metals market to new heights strength. The unprecedented pace of urbanization, especially in regions such as Asia Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa, is driving a surge in urban infrastructure development, requiring a large supply of construction materials, which mainly include metals. At the same time, rapid industrialization in these emerging economies spurred the establishment of manufacturing facilities and industrial parks, requiring large quantities of metals, especially steel.

In addition, many governments are actively embracing the principles of a circular economy and promoting the continuous reuse and reuse of resources, which has led governments around the world to take a more proactive stance in recycling and utilizing recycled metals. The surge in the adoption of metal recycling technologies is also a major catalyst for the expansion of the secondary metals market. Relevant manufacturers are increasingly focusing on metal recycling. Effectively mitigate the impact of resource scarcity by repurposing scrap metal, extending the life of limited resources and ensuring a more sustainable supply. The adoption of recycling technology The huge demand for metals in the automotive industry, lower production costs, stable functions and strength of metals and other factors will also play an important role in promoting the Recycled Metals market.

At the same time, the lack of appropriate government laws in less developed countries, metal theft, lack of consumer knowledge, concerns about reduced natural resource supplies, quality and pollution issues, and disorderly competition will all pose challenges to the development of the Recycled Metals market.

Segment by Type, the Recycled Metals can be split into Ferrous, and Non-Ferrous. The Ferrous category has always occupied the most dominant market position and has occupied 70.02% of the market share in 2022, while the market share of Non-Ferrous is 29.98%. The demand for steel in infrastructure projects, buildings and bridges has resulted in a large supply of black scrap from construction and demolition activities. Ferrous metals such as steel are commonly used in a variety of end-of-life products, including automobiles, appliances and structural components. A wide range of ferrous scrap supply products helps increase the availability of scrap ferrous metal recycling. In addition, ferrous metals have historically enjoyed high recycling rates due to well-established and efficient recycling processes. Steel's magnetism simplifies the sorting and separation process, making recycling of ferrous metal scrap easier. Continuing innovations in steel recycling technology, including electric arc furnaces and advanced crushing technologies, are helping to make ferrous metal recycling more efficient and cost-effective.

Segmented by application, the Recycled Metals can be split into Building and Construction, Automotive, Equipment Manufacturing, Shipbuilding, Consumer Appliances, Battery, Packaging, and Others. Building and Construction and Automotive are the two most important sectors in the market. In 2022, Building and Construction and Automotive should occupy 24.13% and 29.66% of the market share respectively. Ongoing infrastructure development projects across the world, including the construction of buildings, bridges, roads and other public structures, are driving demand for recycled metals in the construction industry. At the same time, an increasing focus on sustainability and environmentally friendly building practices encourages the use of recycled metals. Many construction projects aim to achieve green building certification and promote the integration of recycled materials. For the automotive industry, large amounts of scrap metal are generated through the dismantling and recycling of end-of-life vehicles. End-of-life vehicles contain a variety of metals, including steel, aluminum and copper, which aid in recycling. The increasing use of aluminum in automotive components such as body panels and engine components highlights the importance of recycled aluminum in meeting the industry’s material needs. As well as the construction industry in Yiyang, the automotive industry is actively participating in circular economy initiatives that aim to create material cycles by recycling and reusing materials. This includes incorporating recycled metals into manufacturing supply chains.

On basis of geography, the Recycled Metals market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, Middle East and Africa, etc. In 2022, the Asia-Pacific market dominated the entire market with the highest market share of 56.64% and will expand at the highest growth rate during the forecast period. Strong economic growth in the Asia-Pacific region has driven a boom in the construction industry and also driven significant growth in the automotive industry. In addition, the Asia-Pacific region has become a global manufacturing center, with countries such as China being major contributors. The Asia-Pacific region's overall reliance on metals for various applications, coupled with the emphasis on sustainable practices, has resulted in high demand for recycled metals.
