Middle East and Africa E-Scrap Recycling Market Outlook and Strategic Insights by 2028

The e-scrap recycling market in the MEA is expected to grow from US$ 27.39 million in 2021 to US$ 63.95 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 12.9% from 2021 to 2028.

Recycling involves separating materials, molecules, or chemical constituents from electronic waste to sell it as a raw material in a suitable form for the creation of new products. To separate the materials, devices and components must be dismantled, sorted, ground, and incinerated, followed by subjecting them to apt chemical treatments. Electronic waste comes in a wide variety of forms and is frequently mixed with other types of waste. As a result, the waste to be processed differs from one electronic device to another. Through sorting, the chemical complexity and unpredictability of the mixture are handled. The process can be performed at the following levels: device (type, generation, etc.), module (printed circuits, batteries, external envelopes, frames, etc.), electronic component (cables, resistances, capacities, chips, bare boards, etc.), or powder. New technology, such as microscopic piping, is currently being employed to improve mineral extraction. The pipe in a microfluidic device is less than a millimeter in diameter. Moreover, the recycling companies can continuously, automatically, and swiftly examine diverse combinations of characteristics by integrating analysis methods (X-rays, infrared, and sensors). This would simplify the recycling process and help them increase the volume of recycling, which would ultimately drive the e-scrap recycling market.

With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the MEA e-scrap recycling market in the coming years. The market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
