Global Vehicle Recycling Market to Grow at 13.37% During 2025-2033, Impelled by Advancements in Recycling Technology

November 15, 2024 | Automotive Industry

The latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Vehicle Recycling Market Report by Type (Passenger Cars Recycling, Commercial Vehicles Recycling), Material (Iron, Aluminium, Steel, Rubber, Copper, Glass, Plastic, and Others), Application (OEMs, Aftermarket), and Region 2025-2033”, finds that the global vehicle recycling market size reached USD 93.1 Billion in 2024. Vehicle recycling refers to the process of dismantling and reducing automobiles to small pieces. It involves the removal of all reusable parts like tires, wheels, batteries, radiators, transmission systems, oil filters and rubber hoses. After this, auto recyclers crush the vehicles using mobile auto crushing units. Earlier, the remaining shredded residue, made up of textile fibers, plastics, glass and even rust, usually ended up in landfills. However, with the latest vehicle recycling technologies, it has become possible to sort shredded materials, thereby enabling a zero-landfill process.


Global Vehicle Recycling Market Trends:

The widespread adoption of metal scrap, particularly steel, in the manufacturing of affordable, lightweight and fuel-efficient vehicles represents one of the major factors driving the vehicle recycling market worldwide. Besides this, governments of various nations are implementing several regulations to reduce the negative environmental impact associated with the end of life vehicles (ELVs) and the disposal of batteries, rubber, oils and other materials. Moreover, nowadays, automotive recyclers are using sophisticated tools and methods to recover used vehicles for extracting polymers, fluids and natural materials. They are also utilizing various innovative devices, such as optical sensors, to identify small pieces of metal in the scrap. However, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic negatively impacted the recycling industry, as most automakers and recyclers had shut their plants to comply with lockdown directives announced in several countries.Looking forward, the market value is projected to reach USD 254.0 Billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 13.37% during 2025-2033.
