Inadequate budgets and inefficient waste collection projects to hold back industry growth
Despite gaining commendable traction from surging industrial projects and waste generation in a post-COVID global economy, key challenges such as insufficient budgets for developing effective waste collection, treatment, disposal, and storage plants are likely to hold back the industry progression. Moreover, the absence of a strict financial regulatory framework, poor strategic planning, and inadequate waste collection and segregation efforts in emerging economies is creating a daunting barrier for the market by promoting the open dumping of industrial waste.
Industrial Solid Waste Management Market Analysis
Based on treatment, the disposal service subsegment of recycling amassed over 25% of the industrial solid waste management market share in 2022. Recyclable solid waste usually comprises of paper, plastics, and wood material among others. Rising focus on the implementation of technology-integrated waste/trash recycling solutions is slated to augment the market size. The technology integration is also going hand-in-hand with the emerging sustainability trend, where more emphasis is being put on employing eco-friendly practices.
In terms of source, the equipment manufacturing segment will observe nearly 1.5% growth rate during the forecast period. Flourishing domestic and global trade, coupled with widescale consumption of plastic packaging for the transportation of raw materials and finished goods, has elevated the output levels of the equipment manufacturing industry. This apart, shifting consumer preference toward manufactured goods and products in regions such as the Asia Pacific, have also fueled a significant rise in industrial solid waste quantities, effectively fostering more business growth through the segment.
The industrial solid waste management market valuation from metals segment is anticipated to surpass USD 2 billion by 2032. Increasingly consumer-centric lifestyles have paved the way for a growing issue of metal wastes. Rising disposal of demolition scraps and electronic wastes, generated from machines, appliances, consumer electronics, and office equipment, has created a demand for solid metal waste management solutions. Improper disposal of some of these metals wastes can prove extremely hazardous to both humans as well as the environment, which generates a further impetus for adequate waste management facilities.
North America industrial solid waste management market held around 29% revenue share in 2022. Going forward, regional growth is primarily expected to come from the presence of a favorable regulatory landscape in the region. In addition, rapid technological improvements and growing inclination towards more innovation in waste management are further paving the way for more initiatives. Meanwhile, the adoption of stringent waste disposal norms and standards, and escalating rollouts of favorable regulatory policies such as the Polluter-pays principal practice are defining the business scenario over the long-term.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
The industrial solid waste management sector underwent significant setbacks during the COVID-19 pandemic. Halted manufacturing processes and frozen supply chains caused by the unprecedented lockdowns and strict regulatory norms led to a drastic reduction in the generation of commercial and industrial waste. Besides, the increased emphasis on containing and slowing down the pace of viral transmission limited workers' activities at waste management facilities.
Furthermore, the heightened anticipations about an economic slowdown and declining commodity prices augmented the prospects of increased reliance on cheaper virgin raw material instead of recycled feedstock. This resulted in a slowdown in the recycling of plastic and other materials, which further impacted business progression during the crisis.
