According to the Future Market Insights report, the South Korean market for recycled scrap metal is valued at US$ 24.25 Billion in 2021. By the end of 2032, the market is expected to reach a market worth US$ 58.5 Billion, growing steadily with a CAGR of 4.8% during 2022-2032. Recycling scrap metal involves removing metal from items that are no longer functional. The scrap metal that is recovered is then used as a raw material to create new products. These metals fall into two categories: nonferrous and ferrous. Iron is present in ferrous scrap but absent from nonferrous scrap. These are made up of several different metals, such as zinc, aluminum, lead, copper, and others.

Copper, magnesium, zinc, brass, aluminum, tin, and nickel lead are a few examples of nonferrous metals. Rare and precious metals are mostly nonferrous metals. Metal recycling has significant positive effects on the environment and the economy by reclaiming wasted metal. The first and most crucial justification is that recycling metals help to prevent climate change by conserving natural resources by lowering the need to mine new raw materials. This is why Korean manufacturers as well as consumers are supporting this trend. Eventually, such a system will help Korea to achieve a circular economy easily.

Recycled scrap metal is being used more and more in industrial, commercial, and residential construction in Korea. Additionally, rising environmental concerns, greater awareness campaigns for sustainable waste management practices and efficient resource use, and growing demand for such metals—which leads to energy efficiency rather than mining for new materials—have all contributed to the market’s expansion. Furthermore, it is projected that this industry in Korea would benefit greatly from untapped potential in developing regions, public-private collaborations, and metal recovery from slag residue. Such factors can be expected to raise the demand in Korea eventually and compel the market for recycled scrap metal to expand with a CAGR of 4.5% during 2022-2032.
