Global Recycled Metal Market Competitive Landscape, Top Opportunities And Lucrative Market Segments

23 May, 2023

The global recycled metal market size is expected to grow from $65.53 billion in 2022 to $69.69 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.35%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The recycled metal market size is expected to grow to $84.07 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 4.80%.

Global Recycled Metal Market Key Driver

The growing demand in the construction sector is expected to propel the recycled metal market. The construction sector includes manufacturing and commerce concerned with building, maintaining, and repairing structures, as well as drilling and mineral exploration. Construction activities have increased as a result of rapid industrialization and urbanization. Because recycled metals are both economical and sustainable, they are in high demand during construction activities. For instance, in 2022, according to the U.S. Construction Cost Trends report, there is an increase in residential construction in the country, which will continue to increase demand for labor and materials, intensifying competitiveness and cost pressures. Since the pandemic's start, building spending nationwide has climbed by 16% in the U.S. Moreover, according to a report released in June 2021 by Canada's national statistical agency, investments in building development climbed to $19.3 billion in 2020. Therefore, the increase in construction activities will drive the recycled metal market.
