Aluminum Scrap Recycling Market Size 2025-2029
The aluminum scrap recycling market size is forecast to increase by USD 4.38 billion at a CAGR of 10.7% between 2024 and 2029.
- The market is experiencing significant growth due to increasing environmental concerns and the need to reduce energy consumption. One of the key trends in this market is the adoption of advanced recycling technologies such as Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) and solid-state recycling. These technologies enable the recycling of a wider range of aluminum scrap and improve the efficiency of the recycling process.
- However, the recycling rate of used beverage cans remains a challenge, as a significant amount of aluminum scrap continues to end up in landfills. Additionally, the decreasing availability of high-quality scrap and the volatility of raw material prices pose challenges to market growth. Overall, the market is expected to witness steady growth in the coming years, driven by the need for sustainable production and increasing demand for recycled aluminum.
- The market is thriving due to the increasing demand for sustainable practices and the high value of aluminum in various industries. Recycling plants play a crucial role in this process, accepting aluminum foil scrap and ingot scrap for processing. With the surge in electric vehicles sales, the demand for lightweight and recyclable aluminum components and aluminium foil scrap and aluminium ingot scrap is on the rise, further boosting the market. Packing industries also contribute significantly to the aluminum scrap supply, making scrap metal recycling an essential part of the circular economy.
