Market Insights
Hazardous waste material is any material which on improper disposal, may cause threat to the environment. These waste materials can be generated through variety of sources such as manufacturing units, pharmaceutical companies, and healthcare companies, among other end-use industries globally. These wastes include infectious, corrosive, oxidizing, radioactive, and explosive waste. Therefore, this kind of waste is termed hazardous waste as it can cost a great loss to humans and animals.
Therefore, hazardous waste material management plays a vital role in the overall environment services market. The hazardous waste management market has consistently evolved since many years with the adoption of advanced collection, treatment, recycling, and disposal methods. However, this system is relatively mature in the developed regions such as North America and Europe, with high competition and lower profit margin compared with the developing region.
Regulations on waste and increasing awareness among governments regarding damage caused by untreated medical waste are the reasons boosting the growth of the global hazardous waste materials market. A large amount of healthcare waste generated is the major driver for the global hazardous waste materials market in 2016. Improper management of waste generated in the healthcare industry may be harmful to the health of society, workers in the healthcare organization, and the environment.
Infectious waste should be properly disposed of to avoid fatal injuries and diseases. Therefore, high demand is reported for hazardous waste material management globally. Increasing waste management programs for waste material management in developing economies has also led to high demand for hazardous waste material management, especially in China and India.
The hazardous waste material market was valued at US$ 25,340.0 Mn in 2016 and is expected to reach US$ 37,250.1 Mn by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 6.0% during the forecast period 2015-2022.
