It is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2023 to 2030. Proactive government measures to decrease illegal dumping and the rising adoption of waste-to-energy (WTE) incineration and recycling techniques are anticipated to boost the market growth.

Rapid industrialization in developing countries such as India and China generates waste and causes pollution by the end-use industries. Rising environmental awareness regarding renewable waste management among individuals and increasing CO2 emissions across the globe are expected to have a positive impact on the market growth over the forecast period.

The adoption of plastics in packaging, consumer goods, transportation, electrical/electronic, and machinery manufacturing industries is witnessing significant growth. Rising demand for consumer electronics such as mobiles, which are typically composed of 40% plastic, PCs/laptops, washing machines, and dishwashers is expected to boost the market growth.

The demand for electronic products is rising rapidly globally, resulting in the increased generation of e-waste. The electronics companies are focusing on the usage of recycled material for production to limit the environmental degradation caused by e-waste. The rising demand for recycled materials from the electronics industry is expected to foster market growth.
