The global vehicle scrapping market has been witnessing significant growth in the recent years. With rising environmental regulations regarding carbon emissions and fuel efficiency standards across countries, scrapping of old and polluting vehicles has emerged as an important way to promote sustainability. Governments around the world are enacting policies to phase out conventional internal combustion engines and transition towards electric vehicles. This makes scrapping of old vehicles crucial to manage the large number of pre-owned vehicles plying on roads. Additionally, recycled materials from scrapped vehicles can potentially lower costs and reduce dependence on raw materials for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the automotive industry. With growing environmental consciousness and policy support, the vehicle scrapping market is expected to expand steadily over the coming years.
Market Dynamics
The global vehicle scrapping market is driven by stringent emission norms implemented by regulatory bodies around the world. Growing awareness about the environmental impact of air pollution and depletion of natural resources is also propelling the demand for vehicle scrapping. Various government incentives and subsidies encourage responsible disposal of end-of-life vehicles that further boosts the market growth. However, lack of organized infrastructure for collection, dismantling and recycling processes is a major challenge. Moreover, availability of used vehicles at cheaper prices in the secondary market restricts the sales of new vehicles to some extent, thereby hindering the vehicle scrapping market. On the other hand, emerging opportunities lie in utilizing scrap materials for production of new automobile components to lower manufacturing costs. OEMs are also focusing on establishing authorized wrecker networks for ensuring compliance.
