Liquid Waste Management Market Segmentation:

Service Type Segment Analysis

The collection & transportation segment is predicted to gain the largest market share of 52.3% during the projected period by 2034, due to growing hazardous waste in industrial clusters and the U.S. EPA Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) requirements for cradle-to-grave tracking. Growing municipal liquid waste in urban areas from population growth and construction activity is further driving the demand for structured collection and transportation services.

Source Type Segment Analysis

The industrial segment is anticipated to constitute the most significant growth by 2034, with 47.1% market share, mainly due to wastewater discharge from chemical processors, petroleum refiners, and other manufacturers.  The U.S. generates more than 256 billion gallons of industrial wastewater yearly. Enforcement of the Clean Water Act for effluent treatment standards necessitates that those industries find structured waste management services, which will further spur this segment's growth.
