Global Municipal Solid Waste Management Market is valued at approximately USD 117 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 3.3% over the forecast period 2023-2030. Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) refers to the management and treatment of solid waste produced by homes, businesses, and institutions within a municipality or a local area. It entails the safe, environmentally sound, and socially responsible collection, transportation, processing, treatment, and disposal of solid waste. The municipal solid waste management market is expanding because of factors such as the rising shift from traditional garbage dumping techniques to sustainable and innovative waste disposal models, the presence of stringent environmental regulations and waste management policies, and the increasing focus on circular economy and zero waste initiatives.

In addition, the rapid industrialization and urbanization, and growth in the renewable energy sector
is acting as the catalyzing factor for market growth across the globe. The surge in population and urbanization is bolstering the quality of waste generation. According to the World Bank, in 2020, it was estimated that approximately 55% of the population, which is around 4.2 billion inhabitants lives in urban areas. Moreover, it is projected that the urban population is expected to constantly increase by 1.5 times and is likely to reach around 6 million by 2045. Furthermore, the increasing electricity consumption enhances consumer traction toward renewable energy sources such as bioenergy. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency, the U.S. had a total electricity capacity of 13,574 MW from bioenergy. This is almost 4.2% of the total renewable energy electricity capacity. Thus, these aforementioned factors are propelling the growth of the Municipal Solid Waste Management Market during the estimated period. Moreover, the rising focus on waste-to-energy and resource recovery, as well as increasing technological advancements and innovations present various lucrative opportunities over the forecasting years. In December 2022, The U.S. Energy Information Administration stated that waste-to-energy plants aids in decreasing approximately 2000 pounds of garbage into ash that weighs around 300-600 pounds, also this method reduces the volume of this waste by nearly 87%. However, the high initial investments required and the lack of awareness regarding the benefits of waste management across developing nations are challenging the market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.

The key regions considered for the Global Municipal Solid Waste Management Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. The Asia Pacific dominated the market in 2022 owing to the increasing number of government projects and the increasing concerns about the security of supply.
