世界の金属リサイクル市場動向

自動車産業における用途の増加

金属リサイクルプロセスは、持続可能性と全体的な環境への影響の最小化に対する主要参入企業の関心の高まりにより、自動車産業で広範な牽引力を獲得しています。さらに、リサイクル金属は、フェンダー、トランクリッド、ドア、フードなどを含む自動車部品の製造に広く利用されています。例えば、世界の自動車産業は2022年に自動車生産台数が大幅に増加し、世界中で8,500万台以上の自動車が製造されました。この前年比6％増は、自動車需要の拡大を示しています。さらに、アメリカの自動車生産の伸びは特に顕著で、2022年には前年比10%増となりました。メキシコは350万台、カナダは122万台、米国は1,006万台と、いずれも生産台数が拡大しました。同様に、韓国を含む国々でも自動車生産が伸びています。韓国自動車工業会（KAMA）によると、韓国の2022年の自動車生産台数は375万台で、前年の生産台数362万台に比べ9%増加しました。これらの要因を考慮すると、世界の自動車生産台数の増加は、金属リサイクル市場の最近のビジネス機会に明るい展望を与えています。

増加する金属スクラップ処理施設

各国の金属リサイクル市場企業は、多数の金属を効果的に識別できる最新技術の導入を重視しています。その結果、専門的な処理施設を開発するために大規模な投資を行っており、それが世界市場を活性化しています。例えば、2023年12月、Greenwave Technology Solutions, Inc.は金属スクラップ処理施設に1,000万米ドル以上を投資しました。これは、同社の金属スクラップ処理能力を高め、利幅を拡大するために行われました。さらに、大手企業は戦略的契約を結んでおり、予測期間中に金属リサイクル市場を促進すると予想されています。例えば、2022年12月、ArcelorMittalは、ポーランドの金属スクラップリサイクル事業であるZaklad Przerobu Zlomu（Zlomex）を買収する契約を締結したと発表しました。これに伴い、同社はオランダを拠点とする鉄スクラップリサイクル事業のRiwald Recyclingも買収しました。

建設業界における需要の高まり

原材料の需要を最小限に抑え、二酸化炭素排出量を削減し、エネルギーを節約するために、建設セグメントでリサイクル金属が広く採用されていることが、金属リサイクル市場の最近の価格を押し上げています。この産業における継続的な成長は、特性を劣化させることなく資源を効率的に利用できる金属リサイクルプロセスに多くの機会をもたらしています。米国国勢調査局によると、米国では住宅が顕著に増加しており、これは住宅建設部門を示しています。これに加え、一戸建て住宅の着工件数も2023年5月に18.5％という大幅な伸び率を記録しました。このように、これらの数字は建設産業の拡大を示しており、それによって住宅建築の開発における金属リサイクルプロセスの需要を刺激しています。

世界の金属リサイクル市場セグメンテーション

IMARC Groupは、2024～2032年までの世界、地域、国レベルの予測とともに、市場の各セグメントにおける主要動向の分析を提供しています。当レポートでは、金属タイプ、種類、最終用途産業に基づいて市場を分類しています。

金属タイプ別内訳

本レポートでは、金属タイプ別に市場を詳細に区分・分析しています。これにはスチール、アルミニウム、銅、その他が含まれます。

金属リサイクル市場の統計によると、スチールは自動車、建設、民生用電子機器産業で広く採用されています。さらに、非再生可能資源の使用量の増加、省エネルギーの高まり、原料価格の変動、鉱石の採掘に関する厳しい規制などの様々な要因が、主要な生産者に粗鋼生産において塩基性酸素炉（BOF）プロセスよりも電気アーク炉（EAF）プロセスを採用することを余儀なくさせています。このため、各国で再生鋼の需要が急増しています。さらに、アルミニウム協会によると、アルミニウムは最もリサイクル可能な材料のひとつと考えられています。同協会の統計によると、米国で生産された全アルミニウムの75％近くが現在も使用されています。これとは別に、省エネルギーへの関心の高まりや、民生用電子機器業界における銅を含む金属の使用量の増加が、当面の間、このセグメントの成長を促進する上で大きな役割を果たすと予想されています。

タイプ別内訳

本レポートでは、市場をタイプ別に詳細に区分し分析しています。これには鉄金属と非鉄金属が含まれます。

鉄と非鉄金属のリサイクルは、金属産業における重要なプロセスであり、資源保護、環境持続可能性、経済効率に貢献しています。どちらのタイプの金属もユニークな用途と特性を持っており、それに応じてリサイクルプロセスも異なります。これに伴い、両者は循環経済にとって不可欠であり、金属産業における効率的な資源利用とサステイナブル慣行を促進しています。

最終使用産業別内訳

本レポートでは、市場を最終用途産業別に詳細に区分・分析しています。これには、建築・建設、包装、自動車、産業機械、電子・電気機器、造船、その他が含まれます。

新興国における可処分所得水準の上昇は、建設産業の成長に貢献し、それによって建設用金属製品のニーズが高まる可能性が高いです。これとは別に、自動車産業も相当量の金属を使用しています。例えば、エンジン部品や、ドア、ボンネット、マフラー、燃料タンクなどの基本的な自動車フレームを含むその他の自動車部品は、鉄鋼から製造されます。さらに、世界鉄鋼協会によると、自動車の重量の約70％は鉄鋼と鉄で構成されています。これは、産業成長にとって有利な機会となると考えられます。

地域別内訳

この調査レポートは、北米（米国、カナダ）、アジア太平洋（中国、日本、インド、韓国、オーストラリア、インドネシア、その他）、欧州（ドイツ、フランス、英国、イタリア、スペイン、ロシア、その他）、ラテンアメリカ（ブラジル、メキシコ、その他）、中東アフリカを含むすべての主要地域市場の包括的な分析も提供しています。

アジア太平洋などの地域でリサイクル産業が確立していることが、主に世界市場を牽引しています。例えば2019年、アジア太平洋は世界の一次アルミニウムの66％、鉄鋼の72％を生産しています。これに加え、欧州の金属生産はアジア太平洋に比べかなり小さいです。しかし、欧州の二次金属生産におけるリサイクルスクラップの採用率は比較的高いです。エネルギー使用に関する政府の厳しい規制と循環経済重視の高まりが、この地域市場にプラスの影響を与えています。これとは別に、北米では粗鋼の42%がリサイクル材料を使って生産されています。これは、この地域におけるリサイクルの重要性を示しています。さらに、各国の様々な最終用途産業の主要参入企業が貴金属のリサイクルに投資しており、これは今後数年間で市場全体の成長を強化すると予想されます。

As such, these figures indicate the expanding construction industry, thereby stimulating the demand for metal recycling processes in developing residential buildings.

Global Metal Recycling Market Segmentation:

IMARC Group provides an analysis of the key trends in each segment of the market, along with forecasts at the global, regional, and country levels for 2024-2032. Our report has categorized the market based on metal type, type, and end use industry.

Breakup by Metal Type:

Steel

Aluminum

Copper

Others

The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the metal type. This includes steel, aluminum, copper, and others.

As per the metal recycling market statistics, steel is widely adopted in the automotive, construction, and consumer electronics industries. Moreover, various factors, such as the growing usage of non-renewable resources, the elevating energy conservation, fluctuation in raw material prices, and stringent regulations about mining ores, have compelled key producers to adopt the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) process over the Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) process in crude steel production. This has led to the escalating demand for recycled steel across countries. Additionally, according to the Aluminum Association, aluminum is considered as one of the most recyclable materials. According to the statistics provided by the association, nearly 75% of all the aluminum produced in the U.S. is still in use today. Apart from this, the inflating focus on energy conservation and the increasing usage of metal types, including copper, in the consumer electronics industry is expected to play a major role in catalyzing the segment growth over the foreseeable future.

Breakup by Type:

Ferrous Metal

Non-Ferrous Metal

The report has provided a detailed breakup and analysis of the market based on the type. This includes ferrous metal and non-ferrous metal.

Ferrous and non-ferrous metal recycling are crucial processes in the metal industry, contributing to resource conservation, environmental sustainability, and economic efficiency. Both types of metals have unique applications and properties, and their recycling processes differ accordingly. In line with this, they are integral to the circular economy, promoting efficient resource utilization and sustainable practices in the metal industry.

Breakup by End Use Industry:
