Summary
The use of scrap as raw material involves a cheaper and less energy-intensive process compared to natural resource usage. The energy saving can be as much as 95% when aluminum scrap is used in the production of aluminum. This has spurred the growth of recycling industry, reflected in strong global demand for scrap material which is expected to rise to 323 million tons in 2006 from 266 million tons in 2003. Traditionally of a highly fragmented nature, the US scrap recycling industry has been experiencing large bouts of consolidation in the recent years. Increased cash flows, resulting in surplus funds for large deals, have been cited as the major reason for the recent spate of merger and acquisition activity. This consolidation trend seems to be continuing with the top 10 players estimated to now hold a combined 75% of the total US scrap market.
This report analyzes the scrap industry in the US, taking into perspective the impact of rising scrap prices as well as increased production volumes. It examines the factors driving change in the scrap market before assessing the competitive landscape confronting the industry players-ferrous/non-ferrous scrap processors and recycling equipment manufacturers. The report also captures important trends in its build-up towards an outlook for this industry.
