(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Boost recycling ROI through automated sorting, advanced material recovery and take-back programs, while leveraging EPR mandates and circular-economy demand.Dublin, Oct. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "Electronics Recycling - Global Strategic Business Report" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global electronics recycling market was valued at US$47.4 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach US$108.3 billion by 2030, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.8%. Market growth is being supported by rising electronic waste volumes, increasingly stringent environmental regulations, greater consumer awareness, and continued investment in advanced recycling and material recovery technologies.
The electronics recycling industry plays an essential role in recovering valuable metals, plastics, and other materials while reducing environmental contamination associated with discarded electronic products. Rapid innovation cycles, shorter device replacement periods, and expanding global use of consumer electronics and IT and telecommunications equipment are increasing demand for efficient collection, dismantling, sorting, processing, and recovery services.
Government policies are also reshaping the global e-waste recycling market. Extended producer responsibility requirements, product take-back programs, recycling targets, and restrictions on improper disposal are encouraging manufacturers, retailers, recyclers, and consumers to participate in more structured recovery systems. At the same time, circular economy strategies are promoting longer product life cycles, improved recyclability, component reuse, and increased use of recovered materials in manufacturing.
Technological advances are improving the scalability and commercial viability of electronics recycling operations. Automated sorting, shredding, magnetic separation, sensor-based identification, and advanced material recovery processes enable recyclers to handle larger waste volumes while increasing the purity and value of recovered commodities. These capabilities are becoming increasingly important as electronic products incorporate more complex material combinations.
