The global waste management market size is projected to register a substantial CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the concerns about waste management across the globe.
Waste management refers to the procedures and actions that are essential to manage trash from its conception to its final disposal. Organic and non-organic wastes may both be treated with waste management systems. Furthermore, these systems can properly dispose of liquid and plastic metal wastes, solid trash, e-waste, as well as radioactive waste, released from a variety of sources. Waste management systems allow the specific treatment that targets particular type of waste particles or stream from various sectors. For instance, thermal techniques are used to remediate pharmaceutical waste. Garbage management focuses on either removing waste or repurposing it in the most effective way possible. Furthermore, electronic items are efficiently recycled for reuse using waste management systems. Increasing consumer purchasing power is a key factor that push the demand for newer things from consumers, which has resulted in the rising need for effective waste management system to ensure maximum use of resources.
The COVID-19 pandemic had affected the waste management market due to the shutdown of factories and offices during the emergency lockdown. As a result, the volume of garbage from residential areas were far higher than the industrial and commercial sectors. With the gradual recovery of the global economy, resuming manufacturing activities, as well as the launch of vaccination campaigns across nations, the demand for re-starting of waste recycling and waste management businesses is likely to increase rapidly.
