E-scrap Recycling Market Forecast: What Value Will The Market Reach By 2030?
The e-scrap recycling market size has demonstrated significant expansion in recent years. It is projected to grow from $10.26 billion in 2025 to $11.26 billion in 2026, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. This historic period of growth can be ascribed to factors such as increased global electronics consumption, escalating landfill worries tied to hazardous e-waste, the initial stages of manual dismantling and metal recovery process development, the broadening of recycling regulations, and enhanced public consciousness regarding environmental consequences.
The e-scrap recycling market is projected to experience substantial expansion in the coming years, reaching a valuation of $16.75 billion by 2030, driven by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4%. This anticipated growth during the forecast period is fueled by several factors, including an escalating demand for essential minerals obtained through recycling, greater capital allocation towards automated and AI-powered recycling solutions, the proliferation of manufacturer take-back schemes, wider implementation of circular economy strategies, and more stringent adherence to e-waste compliance regulations. Key trends anticipated for this period encompass a surge in the quantity of discarded consumer electronics, the growing implementation of automated sorting and recovery technologies, heightened public understanding of proper disposal methods, an increase in recycling efforts for major appliances, and enhanced extraction of valuable metals from electronic waste streams.

E-scrap Recycling Market Expansion Drivers: What’s Shaping Future Growth?
The expanding consumption of electronic goods is anticipated to boost the e-scrap recycling market growth in the coming years. An electronic product is defined as any manufactured item, device, or component thereof, which incorporates an electronic circuit. The demand for electronic equipment has seen a substantial rise due to technological advancements, leading to the generation of vast quantities of electronic scraps or waste that can be recycled to minimize carbon footprints and improve environmental conditions. Typical examples of electronic garbage (e-waste) include computer monitors, motherboards, cell phones and chargers, CDs, headphones, television sets, air conditioners, and refrigerators. To illustrate, in May 2025, Ericsson, a Sweden-based telecommunications company, reported that 5G mobile subscriptions are forecast to increase from 1.62 billion in 2023 to 6.29 billion by 2030. Consequently, the increasing use of electronic products is propelling the expansion of the e-scrap recycling market.
