Heightened demand for beverage cans is a significant growth driver. High consumption of beverages generates considerable demand for metal cans which boosts the growth of the global metal recycling market since they serve as an excellent solution to gratify the market need for cans.

On the downside, the growth of the market might be hindered by a lengthy process of metal selection which involves sorting of looked-for-metals from a huge pile of wastes. In addition, developing countries such as India doesn’t have strict regulations on metal recycling which can restrict the growth of the market in such regions.

Segmentation

The global metal recycling market has been segmented based on type, scrap type, and end-users. 

By type, the global metal recycling market has been segmented into ferrous and non-ferrous. The ferrous segment is expected to account for the larger share of the market over the forecast period. Ferrous metals contain iron in vast quantities and can be ideally used for the production of large motors and electrical equipment.

By scrap type, the global metal recycling market has been segmented into old and new scrap owing to its easy availability; the old scrap metal segment is expected to hold the larger market share.

By end-user, the global metal recycling market has been segmented into packaging, shipbuilding, construction, automotive, and others. The construction segment is expected to account for a larger share of the market due to the expansion of the construction industry. Renovation and remodeling of old homes generate considerable demand for steel which drives the growth of the market.
