Market Dynamics

Waste management is a concept used to collect, store, handling, recycle, disposable, composting, and transportation of waste. The waste management is required to avoid human diseases such as cholera, diarrhea, dengue, and others. Waste collection services refer to gathering, transport, collection, storage, sorting, and handling of waste. Whereas, disposable services consist of activities such as separation of waste into recycling, landfills, and composition of waste.

Rapid urbanization & industrialization is expected to create a huge amount of waste and to manage this waste, intelligence waste management systems are required, which is anticipated to propel the North America waste management market growth. For instance, urbanization in Mexico was 80.44% in 2019, and 80.16% in 2018.  Increase in environmental awareness regarding renewable waste management systems among people and rise in CO2 emissions, are expected to generate growth opportunities for the waste management market.

Major players such as SUEZ Environmental Services, Clean Harbors Inc., and Waste Management Inc., are adopting acquisition, business expansion, and agreement as key strategies for improving their service portfolio of waste management services. For instance, in January 2021, Covanta Holding Corporation signed a partnership with Town of North Hempstead, New York. The partnership aimed to generate waste from energy, with a capacity of 140,000 tons annually. The partnership was done for five-year term and is expected to extend up to 10 years. 

The huge amount of waste generated in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, fuels the growth of the North America waste management market. In addition, huge amount of waste generated from hazardous waste, and municipal waste, fuels the growth of the market. For instance, as per data released by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, in 2017, Americans generated about 267.8 million tons of municipal solid waste of which about 67 million tons were recycled and 27 were composted, which is equivalent to a 35.1% recycling rate. In addition, stringent government regulations toward open burning, and illegal dumping fuels the growth of the market. In addition, the introduction of country level government norms and regulations to curb greenhouse gas emissions is expected to augment the market growth. For instance, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), there is a change in law related to illegal dumping, the U.S. government charged $7,500 per person for illegal dumping and burning of waste. Such instances are anticipated to drive the market growth

However, inadequate waste disposal methods, and labor intensive and high cost of transportation are anticipated to restraint the North America waste management market. On the contrary, implementation of advanced waste management practices is expected to witness growth during the forecast period.

Lockdown implemented in countries such as the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, impacted the sales of waste management companies. In addition, owing to the pandemic situation, there has been a halt in distribution of waste management systems and services, owing to lockdown in major countries. This has hampered the growth of the North America waste management market significantly in the past few months, which is expected to continue during 2021.
