Car Recycle Market Expected to Expand at a 14.1% CAGR from 2025 to 2032

Car Recycle Market to Hit USD 286.32 Bn by 2032 

The Car Recycle Market was USD 99.67 Bn in 2024 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 14.1 % from 2025 to 2032, reaching USD 286.32 Bn by 2032. Car recycling saves precious resources such as steel, aluminum, plastics, and rubbers which can be used in manufacturing new products. Many countries have implemented Government regulations such as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), EU regulations, and EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards in the U.S to guarantee the safe disposal of ELV (End of Life Vehicle). Automotive recyclers and dismantlers can extract reusable components from junk cars, such as engines, transmissions, doors, and windows, which can then be sold to car manufacturers for reuse or repair. The automotive recycling industry is especially significant in the United States and Canada, where more than 4 million motor vehicles are recycled yearly.

Car Recycle Market Segmentation

By Type: The Passenger Car segment of the car recycling market is the fastest growing segment. These vehicles usually have a lower lifespan than commercial vehicles. Commercial Vehicle Recycling comprises a wide range of vehicles that are used for commercial purposes, including trucks, buses, vans, and heavy machinery. They tend to have longer service lives than passenger cars.

By Material: Iron accounts for a large portion of a car’s mass as it is one of the most abundantly recovered materials from end-of-life vehicles (ELVs). Aluminum is also a vital raw material in modern cars, including for engine blocks, wheels,  transmissions, and bumpers. Apart from frame, chassis, engine, and body, steel is one of the most widely used materials in a vehicle. Rubber is one of the largest sources of vehicle recycling, which is primarily found in tires.
