持続可能性と循環型経済の取り組みの高まりを受け、電子廃棄物リサイクル市場が加速
E-waste recycling market accelerates as sustainability and circular economy initiatives grow
The e-waste recycling market is expected to grow robustly to US$15.76 billion in 2024 , rising from US$17.12 billion in 2025 to US$27.63 billion in 2032. This growth reflects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6% and is detailed in a comprehensive new report from Semiconductor Insight. The study highlights the vital role that responsible e-waste management plays in addressing environmental challenges and recovering valuable materials essential for a circular economy.
E-waste recycling, essential for processing discarded electronics to recover precious metals, plastics, and other components, is essential to reducing landfill pollution and conserving finite natural resources. The industry's advanced dismantling and material recovery processes are the foundation of modern sustainability initiatives, transforming hazardous waste into valuable secondary raw materials.
Tighter regulations and environmental imperatives: key growth engines
The report notes that the rapid growth in global electronics consumption and stringent environmental regulations are the biggest factors driving the e-waste recycling market. This is particularly evident in developed regions, where the European Union's WEEE Directive has created a legally binding framework for producer responsibility. An estimated 53.6 million tonnes of e-waste was generated worldwide in 2019, and this figure is projected to grow significantly, highlighting the scale of the challenges and opportunities.
"Rapid technological obsolescence, increasing adoption of home appliances, and growing government pressure for sustainable practices are converging to create unprecedented demand for formal recycling channels," the report states. With urbanization and digitalization accelerating globally, and particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, the volume of used electronics is growing rapidly, making efficient recycling not just an environmental necessity but also a critical economic activity.
