Global Hazardous Waste Management Market Highlights 2022 – 2030
The global hazardous waste management market is estimated to garner a hefty amount of revenue by growing at a CAGR of ~7% over the forecast period, i.e., 2022 – 2030. The growth of the market can be attributed to the increasing industrial activities across the globe, rapid rate of urbanization in emerging economies, and stringent government regulations associated with the proper disposal of hazardous waste. According to the data provided by the World Bank, in 2019, the total industrial output of the world accounted for a GDP share of 24.789%, out of which the same quantity for manufacturing was 14.562%. Along with these, robust growth of research and development activities in medical organizations in developed and developing nations is also expected to raise the demand for hazardous waste management in the forthcoming years. Furthermore, growing development of innovative techniques for waste recycling in several industrial verticals such as manufacturing, food & beverages, and chemicals is projected to offer ample growth opportunities to the market in the near future.

The market is segmented by treatment type into incineration, autoclaving, and chemical treatment, out of which, the incineration segment is anticipated to hold the largest share in the global hazardous waste management market on account of the quick reduction of waste volume, lower emissions of greenhouse gases and lesser transportation costs of this type of waste treatment. In addition, incineration is one of the most commonly used thermal treatment technique globally, which is also assessed to boost the growth of this market segment by the end of 2030. Moreover, on the basis of waste type, the segment for infectious waste is evaluated to occupy the largest share over the forecast period, which can be credited to the large amount of waste generated from households, hospitals, offices and commercial complexes, rising industrialization and growing prevalence of infections occurring as a result of inappropriate waste disposal. For instance, more than 520 metric tons of biomedical waste was generated in India alone in 2018.
Major Macro-Economic Indicators Impacting the Market Growth
In 2018, the world’s total energy supply was 14282 Mtoe, wherein the highest share in terms of source was captured by oil, accounting for 31.6%, followed by coal (26.9%), natural gas (22.8%), biofuels and waste (9.3%), nuclear (4.9%), hydro (2.5%), and other (2.0%). Where there was an increase in energy demand in 2018, the year 2019 witnessed slow growth as the energy efficiency improved owing to decline in the demand for cooling and heating. However, in 2020, the electricity demand decreased by 2.5% in the first quarter of 2020 due to the outbreak of Coronavirus resulting in government imposed shutdowns in order to limit the spread of the virus, which was further followed by shutdown of numerous business operations impacting their growth. This also resulted in decline of 5.8% in the worldwide CO2 emissions which was recorded to be five times larger than the one recorded during the global financial crisis in 2009. However, in 2021, the demand for oil, gas and coal is estimated to witness growth, which is further projected to create opportunities for market growth. Moreover, rising environment degradation and awareness related to climate change is motivating many key players to employ sustainable energy strategies and invest significantly in environment-friendly power generation technologies with an aim to promote sustainable development among various nations around the world. Such factors are anticipated to promote the growth of the market in upcoming years.
