Mexico Waste Management Market Waste Type (Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) or Household, Industrial, and Commercial), Disposable & Treatment (Composting, Controlled Landfill, Uncontrolled Landfill, Open Dump, Recycling, and Sanitary Landfill) – Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024–2030
The Mexico Waste Management Market size was valued at USD 18.75 billion in 2023, and is predicted to reach USD 30.47 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period, 2024–2030.
Growing environmental concerns among the Mexican population are driving the adoption of sustainable waste management practices, such as composting, recycling, and waste-to-energy conversion, to combat the negative impacts of improper waste disposal. Initiatives such as the Mexico Plastic Pact, launched in March 2024, and the need to address the economic costs of food waste—amounting to over 35% of total annual food production—underscore the demand for efficient waste management solutions in Mexico.
However, the Mexico waste management market is constrained by inadequate infrastructure and investment, limiting effective waste disposal and recycling. Stringent regulations by SEMARNAT and PROFEPA add to operational costs and compliance burdens, further hindering market growth and innovation.
On the contrary, the adoption of waste-to-energy technologies including incineration, anaerobic digestion, and gasification presents a significant growth opportunity for Mexico's waste management market. These technologies convert waste into usable energy, reducing landfill dependency and supporting sustainable energy generation. By aligning with global circular economy trends and offering economic benefits, waste-to-energy solutions promote environmental sustainability and drive market expansion in Mexico.
