Market Overview:
The United Kingdom vehicle recycling market grew at a CAGR of around 8% during 2015-2020. Vehicle recycling is the process of disassembling automobiles to recover and recycle spare parts, fuel, and scrap metals. It involves dismantling, crushing, shredding, and material recovery through which magnetic pieces, sheet metals, seats, wheels, and other components are retrieved. Vehicle recycling offers numerous environmental benefits pertaining to the reuse or safe disposal of heavy metals and hazardous substances, like gasoline, coolants, brake fluids, etc.
In the UK, the wide presence of numerous directives pertaining to reuse, recycle, and recovery of vehicles reaching their end life, is augmenting the market growth. Furthermore, these directives are also focusing on the safe handling of heavy metals, including lead and mercury, along with maintaining proper recycling standards at treatment facilities. Additionally, the rising adoption of metal scraps, particularly steel and aluminum, for manufacturing more affordable, lightweight, and fuel-efficient vehicles is another growth-inducing factor. Moreover, the increasing consumer awareness towards numerous environmental benefits of recycled materials in minimizing natural resource dependency is also augmenting the market growth. Apart from this, the increasing utilization of recycled batteries in the consumer electronics sector will continue to drive the UK market for vehicle recycling in the coming years. Looking forward, IMARC?Group expects the United Kingdom vehicle recycling market to exhibit strong growth during the next five years.
