Company Information

Detailed analysis and profiling of additional market players (up to five)

The growth of the market is attributed to increasing use of organic waste for the production of feed & fertilizers, rise in global food waste, and need for reducing greenhouse gas emission. The fruits & vegetables segment is projected to dominate the global market through the forecast period, as a large quantity of waste is generated from fruits & vegetables along with roots and tubers. These wastes/scraps are easily available raw materials for compost and as feed for anaerobic/aerobic digestions.

The major restraining factor for the market has been the landfill and incineration techniques causing adverse effects on the environment.

On the basis of end users, the municipalities & households segment is estimated to dominate the global food waste management market, followed by the food service providers segment in 2017. The waste generated from the day-to-day use items, such as product packaging, clothing, food scraps, newspapers, paints, batteries, is known as municipality & household waste. Communities in the US offer a variety of options for conveniently and safely managing household waste. Waste management companies focus on recycling a large amount of waste generated from the residential sector. New technologies are used to reduce and recycle the waste.

The global market based on the anaerobic digestion segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2017 and 2022. This segment is estimated to account for the largest market share in 2017. The energy produced through anaerobic digestion is neither dependent on weather nor subject to price fluctuations. Thus, it is considered a lucrative source of energy and an effective alternative to fossil fuel.

The food waste management market, by application, has been segmented as feed, fertilizers, biofuel, and power generation. The feed segment is estimated to account for the largest market share in 2017. Food waste mainly consists of organic waste that can be completely decontaminated by techniques such as thermal treatment and sterilization and can safely be used as feed. There are various methods for yielding feed from waste; for instance, processing of organic waste from larvae to yield feed.

Food Waste Management Market

The North American region is projected to hold the largest market share, followed by the European region, in 2022. North America is estimated to be the fastest-growing food waste management market in the forecast period. This is mainly due to the Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA), which supports and offers different types of services and practices, such as storage and recycling of residential waste, integrated solid waste management, institutional, commercial, and industrial solid waste in order to reduce waste in the region.

Landfill and incineration techniques causing adverse effects on the environment is one of the major restraining factors for the market. Landfilling and incineration processes have been traditionally used for waste disposal. Incinerators are prioritized over landfilling as they are more convenient, requires a small area, and eliminate the problem of methane gas release from the landfill. The calorific value of waste, which is the amount of heat released from waste combustion, is directly related to the moisture content of waste and is considered a key performance indicator of the incineration process. Landfills and incineration both contribute to the emission of GHG, which is one of the main causes of global warming. Overflown landfills may also spread epidemic diseases in their surrounding areas.

Veolia Environnement (France) is likely to emerge as a leading market player in the food waste management market in the coming years, owing to its line of various waste management services, which are highly useful in the food industry.
