E-scrap Recycling Market Growth Outlook: How Much Bigger Will The Market Be By 2030?
The e-scrap recycling market size has experienced strong growth in recent years. It is projected to expand from $10.26 billion in 2025 to $11.26 billion in 2026, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. Historically, this growth can be ascribed to factors such as increased global electronics consumption, rising concerns about hazardous e-waste in landfills, the initial establishment of manual dismantling and metal recovery techniques, the expansion of recycling regulations, and greater public awareness regarding environmental consequences.
The e-scrap recycling market is projected to experience substantial expansion over the upcoming years. It is anticipated to reach $16.75 billion by 2030, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4%. This growth during the forecast period is driven by several factors, including an increased need for essential minerals sourced from recycled materials, greater financial commitment to automated and AI-powered recycling systems, the proliferation of manufacturer take-back schemes, wider implementation of circular economy strategies, and more stringent enforcement of e-waste compliance regulations. Key developments expected during this period involve a rise in discarded consumer electronics, enhanced use of automated sorting and recovery technologies, heightened public awareness regarding proper disposal methods, the broadening of recycling initiatives for major appliances, and improved retrieval of precious metals from e-waste flows.

How Is The Key Growth Driver Influencing The E-scrap Recycling Market?
The increasing consumption of electronic products is expected to propel the e-scrap recycling market growth going forward. An electronic product is defined as any manufactured item, device, or component thereof that incorporates an electronic circuit. Due to technological progress, the demand for electronic equipment has surged, resulting in substantial amounts of electronic scrap or e-waste. This waste can be recycled to cut down on carbon emissions and foster better environmental health. Common examples of electronic garbage, or e-waste, include computer monitors, motherboards, mobile phones and their chargers, compact discs, headphones, television sets, air conditioning units, and refrigerators. For instance, a report from May 2025 by Ericsson, a telecommunications firm based in Sweden, predicts that 5G mobile subscriptions will escalate from 1.62 billion in 2023 to 6.29 billion by 2030. Consequently, the increased consumption of electronic items is fueling the expansion of the e-scrap recycling market.
