Metal Recycling Market Insights
Metal Recycling Market size was valued at USD 46.28 billion in 2019 and is poised to grow from USD 50.03 billion in 2023 to USD 88.5 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 8.12% in the forecast period (2024-2031).
The process in which waste metal is reprocess into new metal product is referred as metal recycling. In metal recycling new metal product reduce greenhouse gas emission levels, preserve natural resources, and mange energy consumption. The governments in developed regions such as Canada, U.S, UK, and others have taken measures to promote metal recycling industry with good waste collection system, separation and sorting processes. For instance, the government of Canada has been working with the provinces, territories and industries to promote the re-use and recycling of metal products.
Metal recycling is one of the industrially and environmentally important process. It involves recycling of the scrap metals to use it again. The metal recycling market encompasses a broad range of metals but most frequently recycled metals are stainless steel, copper, iron, lead, aluminium, and zinc. These are primarily categorized on the basis of ferrous content. Increasing usage of metals in various end-use industries is expected to drive the market growth.
Rise in urbanization and industrialization and increased consumption of commodities along with depletion of natural resources and re-utilizing these resources has created immense scope, which drive growth of the global metal recycling market.
US Metal Recycling Market is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.

Metal Recycling Market Dynamics
Metal Recycling Market Driver
- Emerging automotive and construction industries are providing a forward thrust to the demand for metal in manufacturing parts and residential buildings. However, limited availability of earth-metals and high-cost of mining earth is fuelling the scrap recycling market to meet the demand. High demand for recycled metals in all of these industries is due to the fact that metals retain their properties even after multiple recycling. This property raises the demand for recycled metals.
- Growing concerns about greenhouse gas emissions and deteriorating air quality in urban areas are boosting the demand for metal recycling. The distinctive attributes of metal recycling such as reduction of pollution, conservation of energy and saving valuable raw materials is imperative to meet global targets. According to Bureau of International Recycling, 40% of steel production is made from scraps.
Metal Recycling Market Restraint
- Unorganized flow of waste metals and presence of less scrap collection zones are anticipated to hamper the growth of the market. Contaminated metal cannot be recycled. Metal has come into contact with harmful toxins even if you clean the cans, you can’t guarantee that all the chemicals have been removed. As a result, it is unwise to recycle.
- High upfront capital costs-recycling is not always cost-effective. Building up a new waste recycling unit takes up a lot of capital. The accompanying costs include buying different kinds of utility vehicles, upgrading the recycling unit, waste, chemicals, disposal and schooling the locals by initiating useful program and seminar.
