The global metal shredder machine market size was USD 928.6 million in 2020. The market is projected to grow from USD 956.0 million in 2021 to USD 1,230.6 million in 2028 at a CAGR of 3.7% in the 2021-2028 period. The global impact of COVID-19 has been unprecedented and staggering, with witnessing a negative impact on demand across all regions amid the pandemic. Based on our analysis, the global market exhibited a lower growth of 3.0% in 2020 as compared to the average year-on-year growth during 2017-2019. The rise in the CAGR is attributable to this market’s demand and growth returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.


A shredder is an equipment that shreds a variety of materials. They are utilized in a variety of sectors and come in a variety of styles, ranging from paper shredders to scrap metal shredders. Industrial shredders are frequently used to shred materials into smaller pieces so that they may be readily sorted or to reduce the expense of transporting recyclable items. An industrial shredder is a shredder that may be utilized in an industrial setting rather than only for personal usage. They can be sluggish or fast and can have low or high horsepower.


A metal shredder reduces the volume of heavy metal wastes and converts them into small, reusable pieces. Metal shredders come in a wide range of styles and sizes. As environmental concerns grow, the metal shredder system is critical equipment for both makers and consumers of recycled metal. It is primarily used in automotive and steel production sectors. This equipment is used for crushing a variety of metal debris. They are commonly used in scrap yards and metal recycling operations to minimize waste to a standard shape and size so that it may be separated and processed further.


COVID-19 Pandemic: Directly affected Production Along and Supply Chain & Market Disruption Hampered Market Growth


The COVID-19 pandemic had a huge impact on several industries & faced a major downfall. The pandemic directly affected production, hampered the supply chain, and disrupted the market. In addition, the major downfall in metal shredder machine sales significantly also impacted the market. Additionally, the projected decline in some nations focused on local production, resulting in a drop in demand for metal shredder machines.


The continuous labor scarcity caused many scrap yards to shut, which had a negative impact on industry growth. Likewise, governments took a liberal stance in this area since they are focused on public safety and key service operations. Furthermore, the economy continued to be on stagnancy as it also had a financial impact on companies & financial markets, which resulted in a sudden drop in demand. Therefore, with low output and low demand in the scrap market, the overall impact may be rated as steady. Hence, due to the extreme COVID-19 situation, the manufacturers experienced significant changes in their business operations.


LATEST TRENDS

Advancement in Waste Management Techniques to Accelerate Market Growth


The advancement of waste management solutions to support metal shredding operations' move to low-grade ores is one of the important growing trends. The progression of recycling operations techniques reveals that most mineral commodity ore grades are declining, with the quantity of debris created at mining sites directly proportional to ore grade quality.


Furthermore, the need for recycling operations has expanded to support expanding urbanization to fulfill the demand from the world's growing population. In addition, the volume of waste created at mining sites, which is based on the quality of ore being mined, directly impacts the need for global scrap metal shredders. As more mines reach the end of their useful lives, the grade of the ores mined has deteriorated, resulting in increased volumes of trash that must be shredded.


Therefore, industries using updated technologies to reduce the operational costs of treatment, membrane separation, and metal recovery are contributing to the growth of the metal shredder machines market.


DRIVING FACTORS


Development In Automation, Industrial Revolution, & Government Regulations To Bolster Market


Currently, rising industrialization and urbanization in emerging nations, such as China, Brazil, and India, are the primary factors surging the demand for metal shredders machines. In addition, the developing markets of Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Africa will provide the most appealing prospects for global participants and contribute to the metal shredder machine market growth. Additionally, the growing need for recovering metal from slag residue would provide further prospects in the metal shredder market. The major end customers utilize the metal shredders to shred automobiles and other scrapped metals to use as raw material.


Furthermore, governments are also implementing some new regulations, which will benefit the metal shredding business. Government initiatives to boost the utilization of recycled metal for economic and environmental grounds are indirectly helping the metal shredder business. Several governments, particularly those in developing nations, arrange auctions to resale metal waste used in industrial units. These auctions are attended by both small and large industrial organizations looking to buy metal scrap at a low cost. Therefore, governments across the world are working hard to clean up heavy industrial industries, which will continue to influence the market.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Reduced Scrap Demand Due To Fall In Commodity Prices To Hamper Market Growth


The metal shredding and recycling business has been hit particularly hard due to the adverse market conditions, which include tighter profit margins due to reduced scrap metal prices. Scrap metal pricing is critical to the recycling sector at all times. When scrap prices fall over an extended period of time, recycling rates fall along with them, and scrap metal companies struggle to earn a profit.


Additionally, the Chinese economy has experienced a significant influence on metal exports. As a result of the slowing demand and overabundance in China, scrap metal prices have plummeted. Furthermore, rather than decreased demand, the decline in scrap export flows is most likely attributable to the shipping container and vessel availability. Several countries stated that obtaining shipping containers for international shipments was challenging.


Hence, several other issues are being faced by the metal shredding industry. However, leading organizations are trying their best to remain in the market & maintain their stability.


SEGMENTATION


By Type Analysis


Mechanical Shredder Machine To Hold Major Metal Shredder Machine Market Share During Forecast Period


According to type, the market is segmented into mechanical shredder machine and shock wave shredder machine.


The mechanical shredder machine is best positioned to lead the market by capturing the highest CAGR during the forecast period. It is attributed to their common use in scrap yards and metal recycling operations to reduce debris to a standard shape and size so that it may be separated and processed further. In addition, these types of shredding machines can process white goods, home appliances, sorted light scrap, and end-of-life cars, which are all ferrous and non-ferrous metals (ELVs).


Furthermore, the market is anticipated to witness steady growth owing to design & features such as low noise, sparking, dust, and heat buildup. This shredder breaks down the scrap into little bits, making the disposal procedure easier.


By Application Analysis


To know how our report can help streamline your business, Speak to Analyst


Iron and Steel To Dominate this Market


According to application, the market is segmented into iron and steel, aluminum and copper, and non-ferrous metals.


The iron and steel segment is projected to capture the highest CAGR during the forecast period as they are the most recycled materials. They are also among the easiest to reprocess since they can be magnetically separated from garbage.


Furthermore, the aluminum and copper segment is predicted to witness considerable CAGR during the forecast period. It is attributable due to the fact that aluminum shredding is a cost-effective and ecologically friendly process. Scrapped aluminum is recycled and melted down to make new aluminum, which is a simple process that decreases metal waste. Whereas copper is the third most often used metal in the world, and it is frequently utilized in plumbing and electrical applications.


Followed by aluminum & copper, non-ferrous metals are anticipated to have a steady growth due to their indefinite recyclability. Thus, it does not deteriorate or lose any chemical qualities throughout the recycling process.
