Municipal Solid Waste Management Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

The increasing need to reduce the risk of growing environmental pollution is notably driving the municipal solid waste management market growth, although factors such as high operating and maintenance costs of MSW treatment may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the municipal solid waste management industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Municipal Solid Waste Management Market Driver

• The increasing need to reduce the risk of growing environmental pollution is one of the key drivers supporting the municipal solid waste management market growth. 
• MSW is defined as a waste consisting of items used on a daily basis, including appliances, product packaging, food scraps, and newspapers. Such waste is generated from multiple sources such as residential areas, institutions, restaurants, and others. 
• Most of the waste materials contain toxic substances that can leach into the soil and pollute the groundwater.
• Such factors can adversely affect plants, animals, and humans.
• The electronic wastes contain cadmium, lead, mercury, chromium, and other metals, which can pose a significant threat to the environment.

Key Municipal Solid Waste Management Market Trend

• The rising popularity of integrated waste management systems is another factor supporting the municipal solid waste management market growth.
• The primary analytical framework of the IWMS was developed in 2010 for UN-Habitat's Solid Waste Management in the World's Cities. The framework consists of two overlapping concepts - the physical components also known as elements and governance strategies.
• The elements provide the infrastructure crucial for solid waste management such as waste collection, treatment, and disposal as well as the 3Rs, which is reduce, reuse, and recycle.
• The governance strategies consist of the inclusion of stakeholders, financial stability and sound institutions, and proactive policies.
• IWMS provides the benefits of multiple waste treatment technologies. This leads to synergy, unlike the use of individual technologies. As a result, IWMS has been increasingly adopted across the world. 
• The voluntary adoption of IWMS and its associated benefits are expected to boost the market growth in the coming years.

Key Municipal Solid Waste Management Market Challenge

• The high operating and maintenance costs of MSW treatment is hindering the municipal solid waste management market growth. 
• MSW treatment processes such as incineration are widely adopted in many countries such as Japan, wherein landfilling is not convenient to treat solid waste.
• The incineration plants require huge upfront capital investment and involve high operating and maintenance (O&M) costs.
• The cost varies depending on the plant size, design, local infrastructural conditions, waste disposal amenities, and energy utilization capabilities.
• The operation of incineration plants requires skilled staff. However, most incineration plants are built and maintained by vendors themselves for the initial period and then handed over to the client after a certain time.
• Such factors may hamper the market growth during the forecast period.
