The global Non-ferrous Scrap Recycling market size is predicted to grow from US$ 146160 million in 2025 to US$ 199150 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2025 to 2031.
Non-ferrous metal scrap recycling refers to the process of recycling, purifying and reusing scrap or expired materials containing precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum, palladium, rhodium and other non-ferrous metals (such as copper, aluminum, lead, zinc, nickel, etc.) through professional institutions and professional technologies. Non-ferrous metal scrap refers to materials that have completed their service life or no longer meet the original use requirements during the production and consumption of non-ferrous metals and their alloy products. These scraps include scraps, cut heads, tails, waste products in the production process, and non-ferrous metal parts and materials discarded after consumption. Non-ferrous metal scraps can be re-refined into non-ferrous metals or their alloys through recycling, classification, pretreatment and smelting processes. This process is called recycled non-ferrous metal production. Recycled non-ferrous metals are similar to primary metals in performance, but the energy consumption and pollution in the production process are much lower than those of primary metal production, so they have important environmental and economic benefits.
The global non-ferrous metal scrap market shows a steady growth trend. With the advancement of industrialization and urbanization, the consumption of non-ferrous metals continues to increase, and the recycling rate of scrap metals is also gradually increasing. From the perspective of geographical distribution, the Asia-Pacific region is the main consumer region of the global non-ferrous metal scrap market, and its market size accounts for the largest proportion. Europe and North America are also important market areas with advanced recycling technology and a complete recycling system.
With the improvement of global environmental awareness and the popularization of the concept of sustainable development, governments of various countries have introduced relevant policies to encourage the recycling of scrap metals. These policies not only promote the development of the non-ferrous metal scrap recycling industry, but also improve resource utilization efficiency and reduce environmental pollution.
With the rapid development of high-tech industries such as new energy vehicles, aerospace, and electronic information, the demand for non-ferrous metals continues to increase. These industries have a large demand for high-performance and high-quality non-ferrous metal materials, providing a broad market space for the production of recycled non-ferrous metals.
With the continuous expansion of the market and the continuous advancement of technology, the competition in the non-ferrous metal scrap recycling industry is becoming increasingly fierce. Enterprises need to continuously improve their technical level and management capabilities to meet the challenges of market competition. But despite the fierce competition, the non-ferrous metal scrap recycling industry still faces huge development opportunities. On the one hand, with the improvement of global environmental awareness and the popularization of the concept of sustainable development, the recycling of scrap metals will receive more attention and support; on the other hand, with the rapid development of new energy, new materials and other industries and the continuous innovation of technology, the non-ferrous metal waste recycling industry will usher in more development opportunities and market space.
