The scrap metal recycling market is estimated to reach 947.39 million tons by the end of this year and is projected to reach 1,164.33 million tons in the next five years, registering a CAGR of 4% during the forecast period.
Covid-19 negatively impacted the demand for metals. The disruption in supply chains and decline in industrial production such as automotive, construction, and manufacturing experienced a significant decline in production, leading to reduced scrap metal generation. However, since restrictions were removed, the industry has been recovering. A rise in demand for automobiles is restoring the market's growth trajectory.
The scrap metal recycling market is consolidated. Some of the major companies (in no particular order) are Aurubis AG, COHEN, The David J. Joseph Company, LLC, Sims Limited, and ArcelorMittal.
