Recycled Metal Market Size and Forecasts (2021 - 2031), Global and Regional Share, Trends, and Growth Opportunity Analysis

MARKET OVERVIEW

Recycled metals are needed as a valuable resource that creates various metals products. The process of recycling metals involves collecting used or discarded metals, processing it, and creating a new metals material. Metals recycling plays a vital part in reducing the environmental impact of both mining and manufacturing, as well as conserving natural resources. It also offers economic benefits by reducing energy consumption and production cost. Indeed, the recycling of both ferrous and non-ferrous metals such as aluminium, brass, tin, bronze, cast iron, steel, and copper brings numerous benefits.

MARKET DYNAMICS

The Recycled Metals Market is expected to grow substantially during the forecast period. The global recycled metals market is experiencing accelerated growth due to several factors. The governments of various nations are emphasizing on recycling of metals by enacting various laws and regulations. These regulations often require manufacturers to procure raw materials from recycled sources, thereby promoting the use of recycled metals. However, the limited availability of scrap collection zones or recycling facilities can impede the market's growth. More collection points or recycling centres make it easier for individuals and businesses to properly dispose of their scrap metals. The unavailability of such facilities can result in a lower supply of recyclable metals, affecting the overall market growth. By recycling metals, reliance on virgin raw materials can be reduced and the need for energy-intensive mining and extraction processes can be minimized. Besides, rapid urbanization and industrialization in both developed and developing economies is anticipated to drive demand for metals in construction, infrastructure development, and manufacturing across globe. Leading metallurgy companies are opting for development of  sustainable products to decarbonising their operations and meet climate change mitigation targets. For instance, in August 2021, Tata Steel entered in Steel Recycling Business, by commissioning its first recycling plant of 500 kilo tons per annum in Haryana, India. This will help in reducing the carbon emissions, energy utilization and focus on carbon neutrality.
