세계의 첨단 재활용 기술(ART) 시장 예측(-2032년) : 제품별, 원재료별, 전개 방식별, 기술별, 최종 사용자별, 지역별 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Advanced Recycling Technologies Market is accounted for $3.08 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $23.16 billion by 2032 growing at a CAGR of 33.4% during the forecast period. Advanced Recycling Technologies (ART) refers to innovative processes that transform waste materials, especially plastics and complex industrial by-products, into reusable resources, fuels, or chemicals. Unlike traditional mechanical recycling, ART employs chemical, enzymatic, or thermal methods to break down materials at the molecular level, enabling the recovery of high-quality outputs. These technologies address environmental challenges by reducing landfill dependency, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and supporting a circular economy. ART encompasses techniques like pyrolysis, depolymerization, and solvolysis, offering sustainable solutions for industries seeking efficient waste valorization and resource conservation.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Consumer demand for sustainable products

Brands are shifting toward circular materials and low-carbon inputs to meet environmental targets and consumer expectations. Chemical recycling platforms enable recovery of plastics and composites previously considered non-recyclable. Integration with supply chain traceability tools improves transparency and compliance. Demand for recycled feedstock is rising across food-grade, industrial, and specialty applications. These dynamics are propelling innovation and investment across recycling infrastructure.

Restraint:

Regulatory uncertainty and policy variability

Definitions of "advanced recycling" and "chemical recycling" vary across jurisdictions, affecting permitting and compliance. Lack of harmonized standards for feedstock quality, emissions, and product labeling creates operational ambiguity. Policy shifts around waste classification and extended producer responsibility impact business models and supply chains. Infrastructure development depends on long-term regulatory clarity and stakeholder alignment. These constraints continue to hinder scalability and cross-border integration.

Opportunity:

Corporate sustainability commitments

Companies are pledging to reduce virgin plastic use and increase recycled content in packaging and products. Investment in closed-loop systems and material recovery platforms supports ESG reporting and brand positioning. Partnerships between recyclers, converters, and brand owners enable feedstock security and product innovation. Integration with carbon accounting and lifecycle analysis tools improves impact measurement. These trends are fostering long-term growth across circular economy infrastructure.

Threat:

Environmental concerns over emissions

Chemical processes such as pyrolysis and gasification may generate greenhouse gases, volatile compounds, or hazardous byproducts. Lifecycle emissions and energy intensity vary across feedstock types and technology configurations. Community opposition and activist campaigns can delay permitting and project development. Transparency around process efficiency and environmental impact is essential for stakeholder trust. These risks continue to constrain adoption and policy support across sensitive regions.

Covid-19 Impact:

The pandemic disrupted waste collection, recycling operations, and supply chains across global markets. Demand for single-use plastics surged during lockdowns, increasing pressure on recycling infrastructure. However, post-pandemic recovery strategies emphasized sustainability and circularity across packaging and materials. Governments and corporations accelerated investment in advanced recycling to meet climate and waste reduction goals. Public awareness of environmental impact and resource efficiency increased across consumer segments. These shifts are accelerating long-term integration of advanced recycling into industrial and municipal systems.

The monomers & polymers segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The monomers & polymers segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period due to their central role in enabling closed-loop recycling and feedstock recovery. Technologies such as depolymerization and solvolysis convert plastic waste into virgin-quality monomers for reuse in packaging and textiles. Integration with petrochemical and polymer production lines supports scalability and cost efficiency. Demand for recycled polymers is rising across food-grade, automotive, and electronics applications. These capabilities are boosting segment dominance across chemical and material recovery platforms.

The modular & mobile units segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Over the forecast period, the modular & mobile units segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate as decentralized recycling solutions scale across urban, industrial, and remote locations. Compact systems enable on-site processing of plastic waste into fuels, monomers, or intermediates. Deployment in ports, logistics hubs, and manufacturing sites reduces transportation costs and emissions. Vendors offer containerized units with plug-and-play integration and remote monitoring. Demand for flexible, scalable solutions is rising across municipalities, military bases, and disaster recovery zones. These dynamics are accelerating growth across mobile recycling infrastructure.

Region with largest share:

During the forecast period, the North America region is expected to hold the largest market share due to its advanced waste management infrastructure, regulatory engagement, and corporate sustainability mandates. U.S. and Canadian firms deploy chemical recycling platforms across packaging, automotive, and industrial sectors. Investment in feedstock aggregation, permitting, and technology scale-up supports platform expansion. Presence of leading recyclers, polymer producers, and brand owners drives innovation and market alignment. Regulatory bodies support advanced recycling through pilot programs and circular economy frameworks. These factors are boosting North America's leadership in recycling technology deployment.

Region with highest CAGR:

Over the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR as plastic waste accumulation, urbanization, and policy reform converge. Countries like China, India, Japan, and Indonesia scale advanced recycling across municipal and industrial sectors. Government-backed programs support infrastructure development, technology transfer, and startup incubation. Local firms launch modular platforms tailored to regional feedstock and compliance needs. Demand for scalable, low-cost solutions rises across urban centers, coastal regions, and manufacturing zones. These trends are accelerating regional growth across advanced recycling ecosystems.
