Advanced Recycling Technologies Market Size is valued at 586.2 Billion in 2024 and is predicted to reach 33,593.2 Billion by the year 2034 at a 50.5% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
Over the projection period, the demand for recycled plastics is anticipated to increase due to rising plastic use in producing lightweight components in various industries, including building & construction, automotive, electrical & electronics, and other industries. Due to the rise in online sales of electrical & electronic, personal care, and protective equipment products like gloves, face masks, and other products, the demand for various packaging products has increased amid the global COVID-19 pandemic crisis. As a result, recycled plastics are increasingly in need for various packaging applications.
Verge claims that e-commerce companies have seen a significant surge in demand for affordable consumer electronics devices like laptops, smartphones, modems, and other items. The demand for recycled plastics in electrical & electronics, and packaging applications has increased due to the rise in consumer electronics consumption. This demand is anticipated to increase during the projection period.

Advanced Recycling Technologies market is segmented based on end user, technology, and product types. Based on end users, the market is categorized as Food and Beverage Packaging, Non-Food Packaging, Consumer Electronics, Infrastructure and Construction, Automotive, and Others. By the technology, the market is segmented into Pyrolysis/ Cracking, Gasification, Depolymerization, Microwave, and Others. By product type, the market is segmented as Naphtha, Heavy Gas Oil, Wax Residue, and Others.
The market was headed by the packaging application sector. The increase in demand for packaged food and beverages, electrical & electronics, and textiles is to blame for this high percentage. The main products that are driving the requirement for recycled plastics are personal hygiene items like electric trimmers and shavers, automobile parts, and apparel made of recycled materials.
Based on the shorter loop, depolymerization is preferable in terms of life-cycle analysis (LCA) (waste to monomer vs waste to feedstock). The majority of technology vendors, including Eastman, are now mainly concentrating on PET waste because it requires precisely sorted plastic waste streams.
The packaging industry is expanding throughout the Asia Pacific, and the sector has seen technical breakthroughs. The strong demand for consumer goods, electrical & electronics, and building & construction products, particularly from China, India, and Southeast Asia, is what fuels the expansion of the region's packaging business. Furthermore, it is anticipated that a flexible regulatory environment will counteract the limitations that are typically present in Western markets. Moreover, the market was controlled by Asia Pacific. The demand for non-residential construction projects like hospitals, schools, and colleges is predicted to rise over the course of the forecast period, which will increase demand for roofing tiles, insulation, fences, floor tiles, carpets, and other materials that will fuel market expansion.
