Insights Presented in the Report
“Amongst Service, Collection Category Held Significant Share in 2020”
Based on service, the market is bifurcated into collection, recycling, incineration, and landfill. In 2020, collection services accounted for the majority share in the global industrial waste management market. Industrial waste poses risks for both the environment and human health and can cause contamination of soil, air, and water if it is not properly disposed of. Therefore, it is important for industries to properly collect waste by separating the waste by type for effective disposal. In addition, with growing awareness regarding industrial waste management, major players in the market are expanding across geographies and are offering all types of waste management services. For instance, SUEZ SA offers multiple collection systems such as Multi-sort collection services, collection of organic waste (biowaste) and green waste, collection of WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment), and collection points for hazardous waste (solvents, batteries, paint, biomedical waste).
“Amongst Type, Hazardous Category to Witness Higher Incremental Gain During the Forecast Period”
On the basis of type, the market is categorized into hazardous and non-hazardous. Among the two, waste management of hazardous waste is expected to witness strong growth-share during the forecast period. Growing concern about proper treatment and disposal of hazardous industrial waste is one of the primary factors driving the category’s growth. Furthermore, the management of hazardous waste is a process that includes the collection, recycling, treatment, transportation, disposal, and monitoring of wastes disposal sites. In the current scenario of developing countries, hazardous wastes are often disposed of directly into the environment posing health and environmental risk. Thus, with proper waste treatment practices, the properties of hazardous industrial waste can be changed and it can be made less harmful. This includes physical treatment, chemical treatment, and biological treatment..
“Amongst Industry, Pharmaceutical Category to Witness Highest CAGR”
Based on industry, the industrial waste management market has been bifurcated into Pharmaceutical, Pulp & Paper, Food & Beverage, Electronics, Automotive, and Others. Among these, pharmaceutical industry waste management will continue to grow at a steady rate during the forecast period. This is mainly due to the stringent government mandates for collecting and disposing of the highly toxic and organic wastes generated by the industry. Furthermore, various industry players have increased their investments and moving towards sustainable waste collection and treatment methods, mainly to reduce the harmful effects of waste on the environment as well as human health. For instance, in April 2020, Stericycle Inc. announced its new ‘SafeShield’ antimicrobial medical waste containers. As per the company these are high-quality, standardized containers specifically designed for the storage and transport of regulated medical waste (RMW). This new line of containers provides customers with an improved design, better storage options and an additional level of protection to help combat the growth of microorganisms on RMW containers.
“APAC to is expected to be the Fastest-Growing Region in Global Industrial Waste Management Market During 2021–2027F”
During the forecast period, APAC is expected to have the highest CAGR due to ongoing industrialization and growing consumer inclination toward manufactured goods, which have fueled manufacturing output levels, positively influencing the global industrial solid waste management industry landscape. This has also forced developing countries like China and India to focus on industrial waste management and deal with greater quantities of more diverse materials. Moreover, developing countries frequently host hazardous waste-intensive industries such as oil refining, petrochemicals, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and metal production. However, stringent government regulations and increasing awareness across industries to treat hazardous waste is expected to drive the market during the forecast period. In India, industries are required to collect and dispose of their waste at specific disposal sites and such collection, treatment and disposal is required to be monitored by the concerned State Pollution Control Board (SPCB) or Pollution Control Committee (PCC) in Union Territory.
