Global waste to energy market dynamics:

Growing economy, rapid urbanization and industrialization which will contribute to the higher municipal solid waste that drive the growth of waste to energy market in coming years. Globally, an estimate of more than 6 million tons of waste per day is expected by 2025.

Complex design considerations for waste treatment and air pollution treatment are the key restraints that hampering the market growth.

Global waste to energy market is segmented by technology and waste/ fuel type.

By technology the market is segmented in to thermal and biological. Biological segment is expected to have major growth in the forecast period with increasing effectiveness in conversion of waste to fuel and energy with reduced greenhouse gas emissions. By fuel type the market is segmented as solid waste, liquid waste and gaseous waste. Solid waste is accounted for the major share in the market with growing urbanization trends and increasing municipal solid waste in recent years.

Global waste to energy market - geographical analysis:

By Geography the market is segmented in to Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific and rest of the World. Europe is accounted for the major share in the global waste to energy market and is supported by well-developed municipal solid waste management for disposal or for treatment. Asia pacific region is expected to post strong growth in the coming years with increasing waste generation and investments for waste management and utilization in energy generation. China produces about 300 million tons of Municipal solid waste per annum and is expected to reach 500 million tons by 2025, thus this increase in municipal waste will offer further more opportunities for Waste to Energy market in the coming years.
