Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Copper Scrap market size was valued at US$ 79240 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 105340 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 4.2% during review period.
Copper scrap material — also known as secondary copper — can be divided into two main categories: new scrap and old scrap. New scrap is copper metal discarded in fabrication and manufacturing processes, and is typically considered higher-grade material than old scrap. Old scrap refers to copper wire, copper tubing, roofing copper or copper pipe from post-consumer products that can be converted to refined metal and alloys.
Global core copper scrap manufacturers include Aurubis, European Metal Recycling (EMR), Commercial Metals(CMC), HKS Metals and Jansen Recycling Group etc. The top 5 companies hold a share above 10%. Asia-Pacific is the largest market, with a share about 70%, followed by Europe and North America with the share about 13% and 11%.
Copper scrap is an important supplement to copper ore resources and has good recycling performance. With the global emphasis on sustainable development and resource recycling, the copper scrap recycling industry is gradually becoming an important way to solve the shortage of copper resources. China is the largest copper consumer and also a copper-poor country. The supply of copper resources is severe. Therefore, recycling copper scrap is of great significance to alleviate the tight supply situation at the mine end.
Key factors driving market growth include the increasing emphasis on sustainability and clean energy, and the increase in electricity and vehicle electrification through renewable energy.
In terms of technological progress, copper scrap recycling technology is constantly improving, such as new sensor-based separation technologies that provide promising possibilities, although these technologies are still rarely used in copper recycling and are still some distance away from marketization.
Overall, the copper scrap recycling industry is moving towards technology, mechanization, and large-scale development, and with the support of environmental protection policies, the harmless recycling of scrap copper treatment has become the focus of attention. It is expected that the copper scrap recycling market will continue to maintain its growth momentum in the next few years.
