In terms of value and volume, the ferrous segment is projected to lead the metal recycling market from 2020 to 2025.
Based on type, the ferrous segment is projected to be a faster-growing market during the forecast period. Iron and steel scraps are some of the most widely recycled ferrous metals in the world. This scrap comes from end-of-life products and scrap generated through manufacturing processes. The use of scrap in steel production has formed an integral part of the steelmaking industry. According to the Bureau of International Recycling, 40% of the steel production is made from scraps.
In terms of value and volume, the building & construction segment of the metal recycling market is projected to grow at a highest CAGR during the forecast period.
The building & construction segment is the fastest-growing segment in the metal recycling market. The need to reduce the environmental impact of mining metals has encouraged the use of recycled metals in the building & construction sector. Most recycled metals used in this sector are obtained from demolition waste, which is one of the largest sources of metal waste, especially in the US.
In terms of both value as well as volume, the Asia Pacific region is expected to account for the largest share in the global metal recycling market during the forecast period.
Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing market for metal recycling due to its increasing economic growth. It accounted for over a third of the world’s GDP, according to a paper published by World Economics in February 2017. According to the Population Reference Bureau, the fastest-growing consumer markets of China, India, and other Asia Pacific countries had a combined population exceeding four billion people (as of 2018). This is projected to an be important driver for global consumption of consumer durables and the building & construction sector over the next two decades; this, in turn, is expected to lead to the growth of the metal recycling market. Other drivers that will have a positive impact on this market are increasing household incomes and the growing middle-class population.
Metal Recycling Market Players
Arcelormittal (Luxembourg) is a leading company in Europe and one of the world’s leading steel manufacturers. ArcelorMittal is considered to be the largest steel producer in America, Africa, and Europe In 2018, ArcelorMittal recycled 31 million tons of scrap steel, which included primary steel arising from the company’s own operations and scrap that was purchased for use in the company’s furnaces. The use of scrap steel avoided 40 million tons of CO2 emissions. Their global R&D division is currently working with Worldsteel Association on a number of recycling projects. Also they have been collaborating with the automotive industry to analyze how much more value can be achieved by disassembling vehicles before they are shredded to recover scrap.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
What are the factors influencing the growth of metal recycling?
Key factor influencing the growth of metal recycling are stringent laws and regulations enforced by governments, the increase in awareness programs for sustainable waste management practices and the fact that recycling of metals leads to energy saving as compared to mining for new materials.
What are the types of metal recycling?
The two main types of metal recycling is ferrous and non-ferrous recycling. Ferrous metals possess iron and magnetic properties. This scrap comes from end-of-life products and scrap generated through manufacturing processes. Non-ferrous metals do not contain iron; they include aluminum, copper, brass, tin, nickel, lead, and zinc. Precious metals, such as gold and silver, are also non-ferrous metals. These metals are more malleable than ferrous metals; they are lighter and have a higher resistance to corrosion. These metals are recycled into products such as sewage pipes, water pipes, packaging, furniture, roofing, and road signs.
Who are the major players in the market?
The major players are ArcelorMittal (Luxembourg), Nucor Corporation (US), Commercial Metals Company (US), SIMS Metal Management Limited (US) and Aurubis AG (Germany).
Which are the most recycled metals?
Iron and steel scraps are some of the most widely recycled ferrous metals in the world whereas aluminum is one of the most recycled non-ferrous metals in the world.
What are the different stages of metal recycling?
The process of making the final product from scrap metal ideally involves various stages, such as collection & transportation, sorting, shredding, processing, and melting & purification.
Which are the end-use sectors that recycled metal finds its application in?
Recycled metals find major applications in various end-use sectors, including building & construction, automotive, shipbuilding, packaging, equipment manufacturing, consumer appliances, and aerospace & defense, industrial & commercial furniture & utensils.
What are the major challenges faced by the metal recycling market?
The major challenges faced are the increasing complexity of products makes recycling difficult and difficulty in the management of the supply chain. The different parties involved in the supply chain of metal recycling, such as municipalities and private companies are under constant pressure to bring down costs incurred in this process. Reducing these costs, simplifying the supply chain mechanism, and increasing efficiency are now major challenges for companies.
What is the biggest Restraint for metal recycling?
The biggest restraint faced is the unorganized metal waste collection observed in the developing countries. Waste collection and segregation is the basic foundation required for recycling of metal and metal products or any other items such as paper, plastics, and wood products. Inappropriate disposal of waste poses a big threat to the municipalities and other concerned bodies involved in waste management.
How does metal recycling help the environment?
Metal recycling helps company save energy which will reduce their carbon footprint. A ton of recycled steel saves 1,131 kg of iron ore, 633kg of coal, and 54 kg of limestone which will save the energy required to mine these materials. One pound of steel recycling enables 70% of energy savings, whereas 95% of energy-saving is witnessed by using recycled aluminum.
What are the opportunities for the metal recycling market?
Metal recovery from slag residue is one of the opportunities for the metal recycling market. Slag is a valuable resource for steelmakers. Most ferrous metal and stainless steel plants lose a considerable amount of metal in their slag and metal–slag mix. Depending on the smelting process and age of the slag dump, metal contents may vary between 3% and 15%.
