Waste Treatment and Disposal Services in Australia - Industry Market Research Report

Waste Treatment and Disposal Services in Australia

The Waste Treatment and Disposal Services industry's performance has been mixed in recent years. Household waste generation has grown steadily, but activity has declined in many of the commercial and construction sectors, which has ultimately constrained industry demand. Furthermore, more recyclable and recoverable waste materials have been diverted to firms outside the industry, further restricting revenue. This trend has partly been due to government regulations encouraging recycling and raising landfill disposal costs. However, industry firms have continued to treat and dispose of a large proportion of waste generated by households and businesses, which has supported industry revenue.

Industry firms primarily treat or dispose of solid, liquid and other waste types, including hazardous waste. The industry also includes businesses that mainly operate landfills, combustors, incinerators, compost dumps and other treatment facilities (except sewage treatment facilities), including waste transfer stations.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares."
