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.
“Increasing production of electric vehicles in the automotive sector, along with rising sales of consumer electronics and wearables are anticipated to continue driving sales of recycled metal scraps over the assessment period,” says an FMI analyst.
