The waste management and remediation services market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $819.26 billion in 2025 to $875.61 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to urbanization-driven waste generation growth, expansion of municipal waste services, increasing industrial waste output, development of landfill and incineration infrastructure, early adoption of environmental remediation services.
The waste management and remediation services market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.14 trillion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing regulatory enforcement on waste disposal, rising investments in circular economy solutions, expansion of smart waste monitoring systems, growing demand for environmental cleanup services, increased adoption of waste management software. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of advanced recycling technologies, rising use of digital waste tracking systems, growing deployment of remediation automation tools, expansion of circular waste management models, enhanced focus on hazardous waste treatment.
The increase in mining activities is expected to propel the growth of the waste management and remediation services market going forward. Mining activities involve the extraction of valuable minerals, ores, and other geological materials from the earth’s crust, a process that generates large volumes of waste and environmental byproducts. Waste management and remediation services are critical to the mining sector, as they ensure the safe handling, treatment, and disposal of mining waste while supporting land restoration and compliance with environmental regulations. As mining operations expand, the demand for effective waste treatment, contamination control, and site remediation services continues to rise. For instance, in May 2024, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, an Australia-based national statistical agency, the number of mining businesses in Australia increased to 220 in 2023, up from 202 in 2022. Therefore, increasing mining activities are driving the growth of the waste management and remediation services market.
Major companies operating in the waste management and remediation services market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as PFAS remediation technologies, to address growing concerns around water contamination and regulatory compliance. PFAS remediation technologies are designed to remove per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances - persistent and bioaccumulative chemicals - from contaminated water sources using advanced, environmentally friendly treatment processes. For example, in July 2025, Crystal Clean, a US-based environmental services company, launched the SAFF10, a compact and versatile addition to its 4never PFAS remediation solution. The SAFF10 uses Surface Active Foam Fractionation, a patented technology that leverages air bubbles to separate and remove more than 99% of targeted PFAS compounds. Its modular and mobile design allows deployment in confined spaces or on trailers, enabling treatment of up to 45 gallons per minute across applications such as landfill leachate, groundwater remediation, industrial effluent treatment, and spill response.
In November 2024, Waste Management Inc., a US-based environmental services company, acquired Stericycle Inc. for approximately $7.2 billion. Through this acquisition, Waste Management aimed to expand its regulated waste management and environmental compliance services, strengthen its presence in healthcare and industrial waste markets, and enhance its overall portfolio of environmental solutions. Stericycle Inc. is a US-based company specializing in regulated medical and hazardous waste collection, treatment, disposal, and compliance services for healthcare, industrial, and commercial clients.
