The global middle east copper scrap market size is expected to reach USD 575.75 million by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Middle East Copper Scrap Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report By Feed Material (Old Scrap, New Scrap), By Scrap Grade, By Application, By End Use, By Country – Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

The Middle East copper scrap market involves the collection, sorting, and recycling of used copper from various sources. This includes materials such as discarded electrical wires from old buildings, plumbing fixtures, and other industrial offcuts. Instead of going to a landfill, these materials are processed and turned into a raw material that can be used to make new products. This practice helps minimize waste, conserve natural resources, and reduce the region's reliance on newly mined copper.

The market has a positive outlook, mainly due to the huge and fast-paced infrastructure development and economic diversification in the Middle East. Countries are signigicantly investing in projects such as new cities, transportation systems, and renewable energy plants. All of this construction and development requires a lot of copper, and the recycling of scrap provides a cost-effective and sustainable way to meet this demand. Additionally, governments are increasingly focused on recycling and waste management as part of their national sustainability goals, which is further boosting the market for recycled copper.
