Global Automotive Catalytic Converter Recycling Market Growth (Status and Outlook) 2025-2031
Description
The global Automotive Catalytic Converter Recycling market size is predicted to grow from US$ 644 million in 2025 to US$ 779 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.2% from 2025 to 2031.
Automotive catalytic converter recycling refers to the process of recovering valuable metals and materials from used or end-of-life catalytic converters found in vehicles. Catalytic converters are crucial emissions control devices that help reduce harmful pollutants from vehicle exhaust gases, such as carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and hydrocarbons (HC). These devices contain precious metals like platinum, palladium, and rhodium, which serve as catalysts to facilitate the conversion of harmful emissions into less harmful substances.
Automotive is a key driver of this industry. According to data from the World Automobile Organization (OICA), global automobile production and sales in 2017 reached their peak in the past 10 years, at 97.3 million and 95.89 million respectively. In 2018, the global economic expansion ended, and the global auto market declined as a whole. In 2022, there will wear units 81.6 million vehicles in the world. At present, more than 90% of the world"s automobiles are concentrated in the three continents of Asia, Europe and North America, of which Asia automobile production accounts for 56% of the world, Europe accounts for 20%, and North America accounts for 16%. The world major automobile producing countries include China, the United States, Japan, South Korea, Germany, India, Mexico, and other countries; among them, China is the largest automobile producing country in the world, accounting for about 32%. Japan is the world"s largest car exporter, exporting more than 3.5 million vehicles in 2022.
