![Medical Waste Management Market by Waste Type (Non-Hazardous, Infectious, Sharps, Pharmaceutical), Service (Collection, Treatment & Disposal [Incineration, Autoclaving], Recycling), Treatment Site (Off-site, On-site), Source - Global Forecast to 2030- Product Image](http://www.researchandmarkets.com/product_images/12415/12415604_500px_jpg/medical_waste_management_market.jpg)
Succeeding extensive secondary and primary research and in-depth analysis of the market scenario, the report studies the key industry drivers, restraints, challenges, and opportunities. The growth of this market is driven by the increase in the volume of medical waste generated, stringent regulations for medical waste management, and the growing number of surgical procedures. Additionally, the growing utilization of single-use devices and emerging economies offer opportunities for market growth. However, the lack of standardized regulations for medical waste management is restraining the market growth. Additionally, a lack of awareness regarding medical waste management in developing countries is challenging market growth.
Based on waste type, the global medical waste management market is segmented into non-hazardous and hazardous waste. In 2023, the non-hazardous segment is expected to account for a larger share of the market.
Based on service, the market is segmented into collection, transportation, and storage; treatment & disposal services; and recycling. In 2023, the collection, transportation, and storage segment is expected to account for the largest share of the market. The key factors attributing to the segment's large share are the high volume of medical waste generated from healthcare facilities and high awareness regarding the collection, transportation, and storage of medical waste. Further, during and post-COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of transporting various medical waste from storage to disposal areas increased considerably, supporting the largest share.
Based on treatment site, the market is segmented into off-site and on-site treatment sites. In 2023, the off-site treatment segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global medical waste management market. The large market share of this segment is mainly attributed to the advantages of off-site treatment, such as less manpower requirement for handling and disposal of medical waste and cost efficiency offered by the treatment and disposal of medical waste.
Based on source, the global medical waste management market is segmented into hospitals & clinics, diagnostic laboratories, research laboratories, blood banks, and other sources. In 2023, the hospitals & clinics segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global medical waste management market. Hospitals generate various types of waste, including hazardous and non-hazardous. Hospital waste generally includes expired pharmaceuticals, infectious, needles, chemicals, radioactive items, and sharps, in addition to the items such as packages of medical items and medication boxes and others.
An in-depth analysis of the geographic scenario of medical waste management provides detailed qualitative and quantitative insights into five major geographies (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa) along with the coverage of major countries in each region. In 2023, North America is estimated to account for the largest share of the medical waste management market, followed by Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. The large volume of medical waste generated, environmental awareness regarding medical waste management, and the presence of policies for regulating the same are the factors contributing to the large market share of this region.
