Global Waste Sorting Equipment Market Trends
Water sorting equipment refer to machines that utilise different techniques and waste screening systems to separate organic matter, plastics, metal, stones, and other substances. This technique is used to maximize the amount of waste material that is recycled, while also reducing the amount of waste collected in landfills and around the environment.
Increasing Demand for Waste Management
The increasing development, population, and other factors have augmented waste generation around the world. This has propelled the need for waste management and addressing the situation, many government agencies around the world are increasingly investing in waste management equipment. This is expected to drive market growth.
Technological Advancements Expected to Propel the Market Growth
The market is increasingly adopting automation to improve the separation of waste materials based on different types such as containers, metals, glass, and plastics. Advanced sensors and systems can be used to improve the separation of materials by their size, shape, and ballistic properties.
Stringent Government Regulations about Waste Management
Governments are introducing strict regulations to control waste generation to work towards environmental safety. Organizations have increased their targets while improving waste management. This can most likely drive the market growth.
Global Waste Sorting Equipment Market Segmentation
The EMR's report titled "Waste Sorting Equipment Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034 offers a detailed analysis of the market based on the following segments:
Market Breakup by Material Type
- Plastic
- Metal
- Cardboard and Paper
- Others
Market Breakup by Application
- Industrial
- Municipal
- Others
Market Breakup by Region
- North America
- Europe
- Asia Pacific
- Latin America
- Middle East and Africa
Material Types Used in Waste Sorting Equipment
Based on material type, the market can be segmented into plastic, metal, cardboard and paper, among others.
Among these segments, plastic holds the largest market share due to it being one of the largest waste generators. The rising demand for plastic from various end-uses such as food packaging, consumer goods, healthcare devices and disposable products has significantly contributed to the generation of plastic waste.
Additionally, the rising industrialisation, especially in emerging nations, has led to an increased generation of metal scarps. The metal segment for waste sorting equipment is expected to experience significant growth as waste management activities rise. The increase in waste management activities will simultaneously enhance the waste-sorting equipment market.
Applications of Waste Sorting Equipment in the Market
Based on applications, the market can be bifurcated into industrial and municipal, among others. The municipal segment is expected to go through major growth owing to the increasing portion of the population residing in urban areas, which is likely to increase plastic waste generation. This, in turn, will propel the municipal organisation to improve their waste management systems, which will simultaneously help in the growth of the waste sorting equipment market.
In addition, the increasing waste generation from industrial sectors such as construction, manufacturing, chemicals, and textile industries, among others, is enhancing the industrial segment. The increased rate of waste generation has propelled the demand for waste sorting equipment, owing to strict regulations implemented by the government.
