Japan Waste To Energy Market - Growth, Trends, Covid-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2023 - 2028)
The Japanese waste-to-energy market is expected to register a CAGR of more than 12.6% during the forecast period (2022-2027). The COVID-19 outbreak negatively impacted Japan's waste-to-energy market. Even though municipal solid waste (MSW) is rising during the pandemic, commercial and industrial (C&I) waste declined sharply, resulting in the overall decline in quantity. Apart from the domestic reduction, the amount imported for processing also decreased. Factors such as economic development, industrialization, and increasing focus on non-fossil fuel energy sources have been driving the country's waste-to-energy market. However, the market has been restrained by the rising emissions of harmful gases and the expensive nature of incinerators, particularly as energy prices declined and several plants could not cover operating costs.
Key HighlightsThe Japanese waste to energy market is moderately fragmented. Some key players include Hitachi Zosen Corp., Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd, JFE Engineering Corporation, TAKUMA Co. Ltd, and Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd.
