Belgium`s copper scrap import market in 2024 continues to see steady growth, with key suppliers including Metropolitan France, Germany, Netherlands, USA, and the UK. Despite the presence of these top exporting countries, the market remains relatively unconcentrated, as indicated by the low Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI). The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2020 to 2024 stands at a robust 9.23%, with a notable growth rate of 21.41% from 2023 to 2024, reflecting a positive trend in the demand for copper scrap imports in Belgium.

The copper scrap market in Belgium is influenced by recycling practices and the demand for raw materials in the manufacturing sector. Belgium`s strong recycling infrastructure supports the collection and processing of copper scrap, which is then used to produce new copper products. The market is affected by global copper prices, environmental regulations, and the emphasis on sustainable practices. The drive towards reducing waste and conserving resources boosts the copper scrap market`s significance in the circular economy.
The Belgium copper scrap market is driven by several factors. The increasing focus on recycling and sustainable practices fuels the demand for copper scrap, as it provides a valuable source of raw material for the production of new copper products. The rise in industrial activities and the construction sector also contribute to the generation of copper scrap, which is then processed and reused. Additionally, fluctuations in copper prices and the global push towards circular economy principles impact the market dynamics, influencing both supply and demand for copper scrap.
The copper scrap market faces challenges related to the costs of recycling and processing scrap copper. The need for advanced recycling technologies and facilities can be expensive, impacting overall profitability. Companies must balance these costs with the need to provide competitive pricing.
The copper scrap market in Belgium is regulated by EU directives on waste management and recycling. The EU Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive and the EU Circular Economy Action Plan encourage the recycling of metal waste and the reduction of landfill use. Belgium implements these regulations through national policies that support copper scrap recycling and proper waste management practices.
