Global Electronic Waste Circuit Board Fragments Market to Reach $210 by 2035
The global Electronic Waste Circuit Board Fragments market is expected to experience significant growth between 2026 and 2035, driven by increasing demand for urban mining and stricter recycling mandates. The market size is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7-10%, with the market index reaching approximately 210 by 2035.
The rise in global e-waste volumes, from 62 million tonnes in 2022 to 82 million tonnes by 2030, will provide a significant supply of recoverable circuit board fragments. Stricter recycling mandates in the European Union, Japan, and US states will also drive formal collection and processing.
The market is primarily driven by integrated precious-metals refineries and secondary copper smelters, which account for an estimated 65-75% of global demand. However, feedstock quality variability and price volatility remain challenges in the industry.
