Medical Waste Management Market by Type of Waste (Non-Hazardous, Infectious, Sharps, Pharmaceuticals), Service (Treatment, Disposal, Recycling), Treatment Type (Incineration, Autoclaving), Treatment Site (Offsite, Onsite) - Global Forecast to 2020

The global medical waste management market is expected to reach USD 13.3 Billion by 2020 from USD 10.3 Billion in 2015 at a CAGR of 5.2%. On the basis of type of waste, the market is segmented into nonhazardous and hazardous waste. The hazardous waste segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2015 to 2020 owing to increasing investments by public and private organizations.

The medical waste management market, by treatment type, is segmented into incineration, autoclaving, chemical treatment, and other treatments. The incineration treatment segment is expected to account for the largest share of the market in 2015. This growth is attributed to increasing government initiatives for medical waste management and technological advancements.

Geographically, the market is dominated by North America, followed by Europe, Asia, and the Rest of the World (RoW). Growth in the North American segment is primarily driven by rising aging population and the large amount of medical waste generated.

The global medical waste management market is driven by several factors such as increasing initiatives by regulatory authorities for improving medical waste management services, rising aging population, increasing number of conferences and symposia, and the generation of large amounts of medical waste. The outsourcing of medical waste management services and technological advancements has opened an array of opportunities for market growth. However, the need for high capital investment is expected to restrain market growth.

The medical waste management market is expected to reach USD 13.3 Billion by 2020 from USD 10.3 Billion in 2015 at a CAGR of 5.2%. This market is segmented based on type of waste, service, treatment type, treatment site, and geography.

Based on type of waste, the market is segmented into nonhazardous and hazardous waste. The hazardous waste segment includes infectious and pathological waste, sharps, pharmaceutical waste, and other medical waste. The nonhazardous waste segment accounted for the largest share of the market.

Based on services, the medical waste management market is segmented into collection, transportation and storage, treatment and disposal, recycling, and other services. The treatment and disposal segment accounted for the largest share of the market. Increasing government initiatives for the disposal of medical waste will drive the growth of this market.

Based on treatment type, the market is segmented into incineration, autoclaving, chemical treatment, and others. The incineration segment accounted for the largest share of this market. Growth in this segment can be attributed to technological advancements and the generation of large amounts of medical waste across the globe.

Based on treatment site, the market is segmented into offsite and onsite treatment. The offsite treatment segment accounted for the largest share of the market.

The global medical waste management market is dominated by North America, followed by Europe, Asia, and Rest of the World (RoW). North America will continue to dominate the global market in the forecast period. However, Asia is expected to witness the highest CAGR, with growth centered on China, India, and Japan.

Key players in the market include BioMedical Waste Solutions, LLC (U.S.), Clean Harbors, Inc. (U.S.), Daniels Sharpsmart, Inc. (U.S.), REMONDIS Medison GmbH (Germany), Republic Services, Inc. (U.S.), Sharps Compliance, Inc. (U.S.), Stericycle, Inc. (U.S.), Suez Environnement S.A. (France), Veolia Environnement S.A. (France), and Waste Management, Inc. (U.S.).
