However, unorganized flow of waste metals and less scrap collection zones could have an adverse effect on the market.

The metal recycling reduces future scarcity of high-value resources, generates economic value, minimizes greenhouse gas emission levels, and limits other environmental damage. Therefore, various government initiatives have also been undertaken for creating a conducive environment for recycling metal waste. For instance, in Japan under home appliances recycling law, the consumers of appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and washing machines should dispose them to retailers or scrap traders for further recycling. In terms of scrap metal, market is classified into ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals. Some of the sources of scrap include automobiles, railroad tracks, ships, household appliances, and consumer electronics. Ferrous metals are expected to generate $252,117 million, dominating the market during the forecast period. However, non-ferrous metals are the fastest growing segment and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% by 2022. According to European Aluminum Foil Association (EAFA), the recycling rate of aluminum closures in Europe has increased to more than 50% owing to the collection and recycling schemes.

The Asia-Pacific region is likely to dominate the metal recycling market throughout the analysis period. Increase in urban population in China and India, growth in infrastructure construction and automotive industry, and increase in environmental consciousness among individuals are some of the factors that have strengthened the growth of Asia-Pacific metal recycling market. Moreover, according to the Bureau of International Recycling (BIR), Asia produces more than 70% of stainless steel. Therefore, the region is anticipated to generate $212,118 million by 2022 and is estimated to grow at a significant CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period.
