Garbage Disposals Market, by Product Type (Continuous Feed and Batch Feed), by Application (Residential and Commercial), and by Region (North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East, and Africa) - Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2030
Garbage disposals are installed under the kitchen sink between the trap and the sink drain. These disposals are electrically powered and they crush the food waste into slurry that is further passed to the sewage line through the plumbing system. Key players operating in the garbage disposals market generally prefer continuous feed segment, which operates under low maintenance and is easily available at a cheaper price than batch feed. The environment-friendly nature of these disposals is further expected to fuel growth of the garbage disposals market.
Market Dynamics:
Rising production of garbage across the globe is a key factor expected to drive growth of the global market over the forecast period. In addition, increasing demand for environment friendly garbage disposals across the globe, owing to their ability to reduce carbon footprints more efficiently than conventional methods of disposing food waste on landfills for the production of methane gas. This is another factor expected to further fuel growth of the garbage disposal market over the forecast period. Furthermore, rising technological advancements such as development of noise-free garbage disposals along with ultra-powerful motors is another factor expected to propel growth of the garbage disposal market over the forecast period.
Growing urban population coupled with rising disposable income levels in countries such as India and China is expected to drive demand for residential installations of continuous feed disposers, which are primarily used at homes. The commercial application segment is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to an increase in demand from small-scale food service operations, restaurants, hotels, and healthcare facilities. These institutions require a compact device that can be installed easily without any piping complications along with other requirements such as a cold water supply or hot water dispensing system compatible with a disposal unit.
By application, residential segment is expected to exhibit the highest share in the global garbage disposals over the forecast period, owing to increasing municipal solid waste generated in households. For instance, the Environmental Protection Department of Hong Kong stated that in 2021, as people repast less due to the pandemic, domestic food waste disposal rate was estimated to increase from 0.30 kg/person/day in 2019 to 0.33 kg/person/day in 2020, while C&I food waste disposal rate was estimated to decrease from 0.14 kg/person/day in 2019 to 0.10 kg/person/day in 2020.
Demand for garbage disposals is expected to increase in emerging economies such as China and India where municipalities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Xiamen have already offered subsidies to their residents for building home waste treatment facilities such as garbage disposals.
