Market Overview:
The global scrap metal recycling market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market was valued at US$ 190.8 Bn in 2017 and is projected to reach US$ 283.4 Bn by 2030. The growth of the global scrap metal recycling market can be attributed to the increasing demand for recycled metals from various end-use industries, such as building & construction, automotive, electrical & electronics, industrial machinery, and others.
Product Definition:
Scrap metal recycling is the process of recovering scrap or waste metal and then converting it into new products. Metal recycling helps reduce energy usage and pollution, as well as conserving resources by using recycled materials instead of extracting new metals from the earth.
Heavy Melting Steel:
Heavy melting steel is a process in which the temperature of the metal is increased to above 1650°C (3000°F) and held for some time, during this period impurities are volatilized and removed from the metal. The molten metal is then allowed to solidify under controlled conditions. This process helps in obtaining high yield strength metals with low carbon content, low alloying elements & other impurities.
Old Car Bodies:
The global old car bodies and it's usage in scrap metal recycling market size was valued at USD 4.8 billion in 2015. The increasing demand for old cars from the end-user industries such as automotive, construction, and electrical & electronics is expected to drive industry growth over the forecast period.
Application Insights:
The building and construction application segment accounted for a volume share of more than 40% in 2017. The growth can be attributed to the rapid urbanization in emerging economies such as India, China, Brazil and so on. In addition, increasing infrastructural development activities across the globe is expected to boost market growth over the forecast period.
Automotive was the second largest application segment with a volume share of 33% in 2017 owing to rising automotive production across various countries including Japan, South Korea, China and so on. Moreover, increasing sales of used cars are anticipated to fuel market demand over the coming years.
Electrical & electronics scrap is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to growing electronics waste disposal problems globally coupled with rising demand for recycled metals from E&E industries such as aerospace.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region accounts for a major share of global production as well as consumption of scrap metal. It has been observed that Asia Pacific produces nearly 60% of automobiles across the globe and has a high volume consumption rate per year, which contributes significantly to regional growth.
The automotive industry in Europe is one of the most important sectors contributing towards economic development, job creation, innovation and R&D activities across countries such as Germany, France, Italy etc., thus making it an attractive sector for recycling operations. In addition to this factor; stringent regulations by European Union regarding waste management are encouraging recyclers/ processors/sorters from other regions to come into this business in Europe thereby driving regional growth positively.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the automobile and construction industries for recycled scrap metal.
- Growing awareness about the benefits of recycling scrap metal among consumers and businesses.
- Stringent government regulations on waste management and recycling that promote the use of recycled scrap metals.
- Technological advancements in scrap metal recycling processes that make it more efficient and cost-effective to recycle metals than to produce them from scratch.
- The increasing use of recycled scrap metals in manufacturing processes, which reduces environmental pollution and helps conserve natural resources
