The global waste management market was valued at $2,080.0 billion in 2019, and is expected to reach $2,339.8 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 5.5% from 2020 to 2027. Waste management is the collection, transportation & disposable of garbage, sewage, and other waste products. It involves treating solid waste and disposing unwanted products and substances in a safe and efficient manner.
Waste management includes all types of waste including solid, liquid, or gas. Waste management deals with municipal, industrial, and hazardous waste. Municipal waste generally refers to residential waste and non-hazardous waste generated in towns and cities. Industrial waste refers to waste generated in industries while production and manufacturing processes. Hazardous waste refers to waste generated in pharmaceuticals, medicals, chemicals, and paint manufacturing industries. Further, major activities performed on waste are its collection and disposal. Collection services refer to collection & transportation, storage & handling, and sorting of waste. Whereas, disposable services refer to segregation of waste into landfills, recycling, compositing, and anaerobic digestion.
The waste management industry is majorly driven by growth in population around the globe. This has eventually led to increase in volume of waste from municipal as well as industrial sector. In addition, rise in environmental awareness has led to increase in planned collection and disposal of waste. Further, owing to harm done on human health as well as increase in pollution of illegal waste dumping has compelled governments to bring strict laws on illegal dumping of waste on land as well as in oceans. However, lack of awareness is a major restraint for the waste management market along with its labor intensive and high cost of processing. On the contrary, owing to several opportunities in developing countries, the waste management market is expected to grow during the forecast period.
The global waste management market is segmented on the basis of type, service, and region. On the basis of type, the market is divided into municipal waste, industrial waste, and hazardous waste. On the basis of services, it is classified into collection services and disposable services. The collection services segment is sub segmented into collection & transportation, storage & handling, and sorting. The disposable services segment is further segregated into landfills, recycling, compositing & anaerobic digestion, and others.
