The Printed Circuit Board (PCB) E-scrap Recycling Market was valued at USD 699.43 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 1371.12 million by 2032, with a CAGR of 8.78% over the forecast period. The market growth is driven by the rising electronic waste and the need for sustainable practices, supported by technological innovations and new advanced manufacturing and recycling infrastructure, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region.

The copper segment held the leading share of 44% in the PCB E-scrap Recycling market in 2024, due to its high recovery value, wider utilization in PCBs, and increasing demand in electronic applications. The precious metal segment is expected to have the fastest growing CAGR of 10.85% from 2025-2032, driven by the rising demand for gold, silver, and palladium used in electronics.

Smartphones accounted for a leading market revenue share of ~36% in 2024 and are expected to grow fastest in 2025-2032. The prevalence of smartphones globally contributes to e-waste generation, creating opportunities for recycling valuable metals like copper, gold, and palladium. Asia Pacific dominated the market in 2024, with North America expected to lead in future growth due to strict environmental regulations and higher e-waste generation.

Recent developments include Aurubis investing in upgrading its plant with advanced smelting technology, and Mitsubishi Materials and Panasonic launching a Product-Material-Product recycling loop using waste PCBs to recover gold, silver, and copper while reducing CO2 emissions.
