The U.S. Waste Management Market by Waste Type (Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) or Household, Industrial, and Commercial) and by Waste Treatment (Composting, Incineration, Controlled Landfill, Uncontrolled Landfill, Sanitary Landfill, Open Dump, and Recycling)– Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024 – 2030
The U.S. Waste Management Market size was valued at USD 42.71 billion in 2023, and is predicted to reach USD 63.25 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.70% from 2024 to 2030.
Government initiatives are significantly driving the growth of the waste management market in the U.S. by promoting sustainable waste practices and advancing waste management infrastructure. For example, in July 2024, the Biden-Harris Administration launched the strategy ""Mobilizing Federal Action on Plastic Pollution Progress, Principles, and Priorities,"" aimed at addressing the increasing issue of plastic pollution. This strategy supports the development of robust waste management systems, helping to tackle environmental challenges and improve overall waste management outcomes.
Additionally, innovative product launches by key market players are fueling market growth. Companies including ISB Global and Waste Management, Inc. are introducing cutting-edge solutions that enhance operational efficiency and address emerging needs. For instance, in May 2024, ISB Global launched its Waste and Recycling One software in the U.S., designed to improve efficiency in the waste management and recycling sectors. Such innovations meet evolving consumer demands and drive industry competition and encourage further advancements.
However, the capital-intensive nature of advanced waste management infrastructure poses a significant barrier to the U.S. waste reduction market. To tackle the growing challenges of waste generation, substantial investment is required in modern and efficient waste management technologies and facilities. This includes state-of-the-art recycling centers, waste-to-energy plants, composting facilities, and advanced sorting and processing systems designed to manage diverse and complex waste streams.
On the contrary, the adoption of waste-to-energy technologies such as incineration, anaerobic digestion, and gasification offers substantial growth potential for the waste management market. These technologies convert waste into usable energy, helping reduce reliance on landfills while supporting sustainable energy generation. By turning waste into a valuable resource, waste-to-energy solutions enhance environmental sustainability and fuel market expansion. This forward-thinking approach aligns with global shifts toward circular economy practices and brings economic advantages by generating energy from waste, paving the way for promising growth in the waste recycling sector.
