Waste Management And Remediation Services Global Market Report 2024

The waste management and remediation services market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $720.03 billion in 2023 to $775.91 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The historical growth in this context can be attributed to several factors, including the implementation of environmental regulations, the volume of waste generated, the process of urbanization, industrial activities, and heightened public health concerns.

The waste management and remediation services market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1,028.91 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to a variety of factors, including the adoption of circular economy initiatives, increased focus on sustainability and green practices, advancements in technology, and the management of electronic waste (e-waste). Notable trends in this projected period encompass the wider adoption of circular economy principles, heightened awareness of sustainability and environmental concerns, the development of green infrastructure, and the sustainable management of construction and demolition waste.

The waste management and remediation services market is poised for growth due to the global increase in waste generation. Waste generation encompasses the production of discarded items, whether they are ultimately recycled or sent to landfills. Effective waste management is essential to mitigate the adverse impacts on human health, the environment, and overall aesthetics. This growing need for waste management drives the demand for waste management and remediation services. For example, as per 2022 estimates from The World Bank, the world generated 2.24 billion tons of solid waste in 2020, equivalent to 0.79 kg of waste per person daily. Anticipated waste generation is projected to increase by 73% from 2020 levels to reach 3.88 billion tons in 2050 due to population growth and urbanization trends. Hence, the surge in waste generation is expected to be a key driver of the waste management and remediation services market.

The primary categories within the domain of waste management and remediation services include waste collection, waste treatment and disposal, remediation services, and other waste management services.

The expansion of mining activities is also set to propel the growth of the waste management and remediation services market. Mining operations involve the extraction of valuable minerals, ores, and geological materials from the Earth's crust. In these industries, waste management and remediation services are crucial for proper waste disposal and environmental restoration, in compliance with regulatory requirements. For instance, in January 2022, according to the United States Geological Survey, global silver mine production witnessed a slight increase in 2021, growing from 23,500 tons in 2020 to an estimated 24,000 tons. This upswing in mining activities contributes to the growth of the waste management and remediation services market.

The waste management and remediation services sector is increasingly adopting sensor technology to enhance waste management. Sensors are devices that detect and respond to various environmental inputs, such as light, heat, motion, moisture, and pressure. Waste management companies utilize sensors to monitor the fill levels of waste bins, enabling efficient servicing when they are full. Sensor technology can also streamline the sorting of recyclables, reducing manual labor and promoting higher recycling rates. This provides companies with full visibility of their containers, leading to cost reductions. For example, the OnePlus Metro sensor from OnePlus Systems is an ultrasonic trash can sensor used by waste management companies to determine the status of waste containers.

Major companies in the waste management and remediation services market are actively pursuing innovative solutions for the recycling of challenging materials, aiming to gain a competitive edge.

For instance, in October 2022, Casella Waste Systems Inc., a U.S.-based waste management company, collaborated with TerraCycle, another U.S.-based waste management company, to launch an inventive home recycling pilot program known as the TerraCycle Pouch for handling hard-to-recycle items. This initiative empowers consumers to divert such materials from landfills, fosters community engagement, and offers rewards for their recycling efforts. The primary goal of this program is to recycle over 20 hard-to-recycle materials while expanding recycling services.
