The global recycled scrap metal market is anticipated to expand at a steady 5.4% CAGR over the forecast period between 2021 and 2031, finds Future Market Insights (FMI) in a recent market analysis. Increasing production of iron and steel is boosting demand for recycled scrap metals. Growing utilization of scrap metals in steel production and in non-ferrous metals processing is further expected to boost the consumption rate of recycled scrap metals.
Rapid development of the building and construction sector also is propelling sales of recycled scrap metals. Increments in the production of automotive, shipbuilding aero plane manufacturing are also bolstering the consumption rate of recycled scrap metal.
Production and processing of ferrous as well as non-ferrous metals produces scrap. These scraps are further utilized in the processing of various products to reduce waste generation. Growing demand for waste management and initiatives taken by regional government bodies to minimize waste is expected to bolster sales of recycled scrap metals over the forecast period.

Increasing Iron and Steel Production Boosting Recycled Scrap Metal Sales
Rapid expansion of the construction sector, automotive production, industrial machinery, tools and equipment sector, and ship building is spurring the demand for iron and steel. Investment towards infrastructure, especially in developing nations is also boosting demand for iron and steel in civil construction. This is resulting in increasing sales of recycled scrap metals, and the trend is expected to continue over the forecast period.
Significant growth in the construction and infrastructure sector in China in the past few years has boosted the consumption of iron and steel, resulting in high demand for scrap metals for the production. As scrap metal utilization helps in reducing carbon emission and waste generation, key players are preferring scrap metals to produce iron and steel. This reduces overall production cost and helps companies in achieving their sustainability goals.
China also has significantly increased its steel production in the last decade, which has boosted the demand for recycled scrap metals. Overall increase in iron and steel production is anticipated to propel the consumption rate of scrap metals in the coming years.
