The global Precious Metal Recycling market size is predicted to grow from US$ 79110 million in 2025 to US$ 114050 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2025 to 2031.
Precious Metal Recycling refers to the process of recovering valuable metals like gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and rhodium from products that have reached the end of their life cycle. These metals are typically found in electronics, jewelry, automotive catalysts, and industrial equipment. The recycling process involves collecting, sorting, refining, and processing these materials to extract and purify the precious metals, which can then be reused in new products.
Major global precious metal recycling companies include Heraeus, Umicore, Tanaka, Asahi Holdings and Dowa Holdings. The United States is the largest recycling market, followed by Europe and China.
As environmental concerns rise, there's increasing pressure on industries to reduce mining activities and focus on recycling. Governments worldwide are enforcing stricter regulations on waste management, promoting the recycling of precious metals to minimize environmental impact.
Precious metals have high economic value, making recycling an attractive option for industries looking to reduce costs. The market prices for metals like gold and platinum remain strong, driving demand for recycled materials.
Improved recycling technologies have made the extraction of precious metals more efficient and cost-effective, increasing the overall supply of recycled metals.
The electronics industry, particularly in the production of smartphones, laptops, and other consumer devices, is a major consumer of precious metals. Additionally, the automotive industry uses precious metals in catalytic converters and electric vehicle components, further driving the need for recycled materials.
Europe and North America have mature recycling industries due to strong environmental regulations and well-established infrastructure. In contrast, Asia-Pacific, particularly China and India, is rapidly expanding its recycling capabilities, driven by industrial growth and increasing awareness of sustainability.
