South Africa Waste to Energy (WtE) Market Size Set to Expand at Significant CAGR of 5.07% to Surpass USD 941 Million by 2030
South Africa Waste to Energy (WtE) Market is flourishing because of the significant energy shortage due to an imbalance between supply and demand and urbanization and rising consumption levels lead to increased waste generation.

Report Ocean, a leading strategic consulting and market research firm, in its recent study, estimated the South Africa Waste to Energy (WtE) Market size at USD 643.18 million in 2023. During the forecast period between 2024 and 2030, Report Ocean expects the South Africa Waste to Energy (WtE) Market size to expand at a CAGR of 5.07% reaching a value of USD 941.15 million by 2030. A growing emphasis on sustainability and greenhouse gas emissions, together with rising electricity demand due to fast urbanization and industrialization, are major development factors for the South Africa Waste to Energy (WtE) Market. Furthermore, it is projected that developments in WtE technology would offer profitable expansion prospects for the players in the WtE Market in South Africa.

Opportunity - Rapid urbanization and economic growth

The rapid industrialization and urbanization of South Africa are spurring the high demand for electric power to, and the waste-to-energy (WtE) sector is projected to expand as a result of the increased focus on renewable energy sources. Due to an excess of demand over supply, South Africa has a power shortage of over 21,000 megawatts (MW), as reported by Mail & Gaurdian. The WtE technology is expected to become a viable means of addressing the nation's increasing need for electricity, which is expected to boost the overall growth of South Africa Waste to Energy (WtE) Market during the forecast period between 2024 and 2030.
