E-Waste Recycling and Reuse Services Market Report 2026

The e-waste recycling and reuse services market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.98 billion in 2025 to $2.16 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in consumer electronics usage, rising volume of discarded electronic devices, expansion of industrial electronics deployment, early regulatory frameworks for e-waste, increasing awareness of environmental impacts.

The e-waste recycling and reuse services market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.11 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing enforcement of e-waste regulations, rising investments in automated recycling technologies, expansion of urban mining initiatives, growing focus on sustainable resource recovery, increasing corporate responsibility for electronic waste. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of advanced e-waste sorting technologies, rising demand for precious metal recovery services, growing focus on circular electronics economy, expansion of certified recycling facilities, enhanced emphasis on safe hazardous waste handling.

The rapid increase in electronic waste generation is expected to support the expansion of e-waste recycling and reuse services in the coming years. E-waste refers to discarded electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) and their components that owners no longer intend to reuse. Recycling and reuse services offer accessible and environmentally responsible options for managing obsolete electronics, encouraging households and organizations to recycle devices rather than dispose of them in landfills. For example, in March 2024, according to the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), a Switzerland-based specialized agency, global electronic waste generation reached an unprecedented 62 million tonnes in 2022, with projections indicating it could rise to 82 million tonnes annually by 2030 - an increase of around 33% compared to 2022. As a result, the growing volume of e-waste is a key factor driving demand for recycling and reuse services.

Key players in the e-waste recycling and reuse services space are increasingly prioritizing innovative approaches such as integrated consumer take-back platforms to address the growing need for efficient, secure, and environmentally responsible disposal of electronic waste, fueled by rising electronics usage and stricter regulations. An integrated consumer take-back platform simplifies the entire process of e-waste collection, data security, and recycling directly from households or enterprises. In contrast to conventional disposal practices that depend on informal collectors or fragmented recycling networks, these platforms offer scheduled doorstep pickups, robust data sanitization services including wiping, degaussing, and physical destruction, and ensure that collected materials are processed using globally patented recycling technologies. For example, in July 2024, Attero, an India-based company specializing in e-waste and lithium-ion battery recycling, introduced Selsmart, a consumer-focused take-back platform aimed at streamlining end-to-end recycling. Through Selsmart, users can arrange home pickups, obtain fair value for used electronic devices, and benefit from secure disposal backed by advanced data protection and recycling systems. The initiative also promotes circular economy objectives by recovering valuable metals and components for reuse in manufacturing processes.

In August 2024, Tide Rock Holdings, a US-based investment firm that manages business-services companies, completed the acquisition of Global Electronics Recycling (GER) for an undisclosed consideration. Through this acquisition, Tide Rock seeks to broaden its nationwide presence in enterprise electronics recycling, enhance its managed IT asset disposition (ITAD) and e-waste recycling capabilities, and deliver a more comprehensive, integrated portfolio of recycling and disposal solutions to customers across sectors including aerospace, defense, and enterprise IT. Global Electronics Recycling (GER) is a US-based organization recognized for its expertise in delivering end-to-end e-waste recycling and reuse services.
