The waste management category is anticipated to witness growth at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2023 to 2030. In 2022, Asia Pacific held a substantial share of the global category, followed by North America and Europe. The need for waste management in North America is expected to be driven by factors such as rising waste generation, unlawful dumping, and stringent waste management laws in various sectors. Rapid technological developments, such as the recycling of PET bottles through waste management techniques such as re-extrusion, are anticipated to further fuel this demand. Growing infrastructure is also expected to influence the growth. Regulations such as as the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and the Waste Shipment Regulation are expected to significantly impact the industry.
Key sectors that utilize waste management services include construction, manufacturing, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals since these sectors produce a sizeable amount of waste compared to others. Food and beverages, retail, packaging, and hospitality sectors also contribute to the utilization of services offered in the category. The healthcare industry is expected to witness the fastest growth in consumption of waste management services during the forecast period, due to increasing awareness of risks associated with healthcare waste and the implementation of stringent policies and standards regarding healthcare waste disposal. By type, E-waste, hazardous, plastic, and biomedical waste are the key segments of the waste management category. The e-waste segment is expected to witness the fastest growth due to increased global consumption of electronic items.

Technologies such as big data & analytics are playing a crucial role in supporting the category’s development. Big data and analytics enhance operational efficiencies in the complex process of waste management. The data collected by smart bin sensors provides information about the frequency of emptying bins depending on the location. This helps waste management companies determine the type of garbage based on a particular site and guarantee prompt waste collection. Big data also enables waste management service providers to track and manage carbon emissions from their current waste management processes. Waste management and recycling facilities are incorporating advanced technologies such as autonomous waste picking systems and material scanners to increase operational efficiency. These technologies support recyclers in recovering more materials and improving waste stream quality.
The COVID-19 pandemic caused significant disruption in waste management services. The demand for these services intensified after the COVID-19 outbreak, due to the additional medical and household waste burden from increased usage of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as face masks, gloves, and face shields. The rise in the usage of syringes, packaging material, and sample collection containers also resulted in a demand surge for medical waste disposal. Supply chain disruptions were initially prevalent due to limited resources and labor shortages as a result of government-imposed lockdowns, but the supply stabilized in 2023 to meet the increased global demand.
