- For instance, in October 2023, Pacific Steel and Recycling proposed its plan to construct a shredder residue landfill in Montana to the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). It includes 90 acres within the 320 acres of private property, with the aim of an approximate landfill of 25,000 tonnes from its billing recycling facility.
Moreover, the rise of end-of-life automotives worldwide is anticipated to promote the utilization of advanced recycling technologies to extract valuable resources from automotive shredder residue and lower waste landfills.
However, the need for more awareness about the cost-effective automotive shredded residue technology at the global level is expected to restrain the growth of the global automotive shredded residue market value in the coming years.
Growth Drivers
Rising research activities to create effective recycling processes
The rising research and development activities exploring new ways of recycling processes with a view to limiting waste are positively influencing the market growth opportunities of the automotive shredded residue market. For instance, a 2023 study published in PubMed Central focused on the manufacturing of four types of products with the use of automotive shredded residue melting slag. It evaluated the recycling potential of the produced products. The asphalt paving aggregate showed the best performance, followed by lightweight swelled ceramic, clay, and interlocking bricks.
Advancements in chemical recycling
Advancements in chemical recycling are considered a significant growth driver for the automotive shredded residue (ASR) market. Automotive Shredded Residue refers to the leftover materials from the process of shredding end-of-life vehicles, and it typically contains a mix of metals, plastics, rubber, glass, and other materials. Chemical recycling technologies enable the extraction and recovery of valuable resources from ASR, such as polymers and metals, more efficiently. Advanced processes help separate and purify materials from the shredded residue, allowing for a higher percentage of materials to be recycled.
Restraining Factors
The decline in the ferrous and non-ferrous metal prices
With global economic trends, major recycling companies are witnessing significant losses. For instance, Sims Ltd., an Australia-based recycling company, reported a 14% loss of sales revenue and a 62% drop in earnings in its 2023 annual reports compared to the prior year. This is signaling a decline in the earning potential in the shredder residue market, which can hamper the new players' arrivals in this market.
Additionally, the declining sales price of ferrous and non-ferrous metals in the global market scope is expected to demotivate market players to engage in automotive shredded recycling activities, driven by lower returns on investment. According to Sims Ltd. annual reports, along with the backdrop of its sales volume, the average sales price of ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals declined by 14.4% and 7.4%, respectively, in line with the earlier year.

By Application Analysis
Recycling segment is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period
The recycling segment is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period, mainly driven by its higher rate of environmental sustainability over landfill and energy recovery applications. The development of recycling methods with a higher potential to create value from existing waste with higher efficiency is a major factor contributing to the higher segmental growth in the global automotive shredder residue market.
After recycling, the energy recovery segment has significant potential to drive market growth due to the rising demand for sustainable energy resources driven by growing concerns about lowering greenhouse gas emissions by converting waste to energy. The growing measures to lower landfills are expected to promote recycling and energy recovery segment growth during the forecast period.
By Composition Analysis
The non-ferrous metals segment held the largest market share in 2023
In 2023, the non-ferrous metals segment held the largest market share and is likely to stimulate its market dynamics throughout the forecast period. The growth of the segment is attributable to the rising awareness campaigns promoting the importance of plastic recycling around the world. The higher environmental effects associated with plastic enable companies to work on recycling plastic in automotive shredder residue.
The ferrous metals segment is expected to register optimal growth in the study period owing to the existence of a significant number of ferrous metals, primarily steel and iron materials, in the end-of-life automotive industry, which is expected to impact market growth positively. The growing incorporation of recycled materials by manufacturing companies and increasing government support for circular economy initiatives are expected to facilitate demand for ferrous metal recycling from automotive shredder residue in the coming years.
By Technology Analysis
The magnetic Separation segment held a significant revenue share in 2023
The magnetic separation segment held a significant revenue share in 2023, which is highly accelerated due to its ability to extract ferrous metals, including iron and steel, accurately and at a faster rate. Its effectiveness in acquiring higher levels of purity components from the shredded residue is driving its adoption in the marketplace. The potential to offer direct utilization of extracted metals with higher levels of integrity is expected to create significant demand in the study period.
Furthermore, the optical sorting technology segment is expected to drive significant demand for automotive shredded residue in the coming years due to the rising number of companies investing in this technology. For instance, in November 2023, DataBeyond Technology, a company engaged in AI and optical sorting equipment, raised approximately $100 million in Series B funding.
