Market Trends of Asia Garbage Collection Industry
Non Hazardous segment dominating the market
- The management of hazardous waste requires specialized knowledge, infrastructure, and regulatory frameworks. In Asia, there is increasing recognition of the need to properly handle and dispose of hazardous waste to prevent detrimental effects on public health and the environment.
- Several factors contribute to the complexity of managing hazardous waste in Asia. Firstly, the rapid industrialization and economic growth in many Asian countries have led to an increase in hazardous waste generation. Industries such as manufacturing, chemicals, and healthcare produce significant amounts of hazardous waste that require proper disposal.
- Secondly, the diversity of hazardous waste materials poses challenges. Hazardous waste can take various forms, including toxic chemicals, flammable substances, radioactive materials, and infectious waste. Each type requires specific handling, treatment, and disposal methods to ensure safety.
- Thirdly, the need for adequate infrastructure and resources for hazardous waste management is a significant challenge in some regions of Asia. Proper storage, transportation, and treatment facilities are essential to handle hazardous waste safely. Some countries in Asia are actively working to improve their infrastructure and establish dedicated hazardous waste management facilities.
- Fourthly, regulatory frameworks and enforcement play a crucial role in managing hazardous waste. Many Asian countries have developed regulations and guidelines to govern the collection, transportation, treatment, and disposal of hazardous waste. Compliance with these regulations is necessary to protect the environment and public health.

Expanding Indian segment
- Waste management is becoming an increasingly important sector in India. The sector is also being supported by growing public awareness and the willingness of more young entrepreneurs to become environmental business owners, as well as favorable government regulations.
- India's population accounts for approximately 18% of the total world population and 12% of global municipal solid waste production. Over the coming decades, India's waste production is expected to grow significantly as a result of an increasing population. Consequently, its management has been made more difficult. In spite of the door-to-door collection of waste in many cities, India's inadequate sorting and disposal facilities make it inefficient.
- In 2016, MoEFCC launched the Integrated Waste Management System to ease waste management and end-to-end apps in line with the government’s attempt to digitize the economy.
- The government launched a Swachh Bharat campaign, which has been spreading all over India to clean streets, roads, and infrastructure in cities, towns, and villages. Since 2014, the mission has been in force for five years. As a result, citizens were encouraged to take part in the waste management solution.
- India has one of the world's biggest landfill sites in Ghazipur, and cities across the country are major contributors to municipal solid waste.
- Due to the government's emphasis on cleanliness and hygiene, India's solid waste management sector has experienced considerable growth over the last few years. The significant increase in waste generation as a result of population growth and rapidly urbanizing has led to an urgent need for effective and lasting waste management practices.
- The government's Swachh Bharat (Abhiyan Clean India Mission) has boosted the sector, leading to a surge in demand for waste management solutions. Increased urbanization, increased awareness about waste management, and growing investments in infrastructure to manage waste are some of the factors driving a market for solid waste management in India.
