The global waste-to-energy technologies market size was USD 38616.63 million in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 71191.65 million in 2031, at a CAGR of 6.31% during the forecast period.

Waste-to-energy technologies refers to the cycle of steps to turn solid waste into energy; this step is sometimes referred to as energy from waste, or WtE for short. Waste-to-energy technologies use thermochemical and biochemical processes to process urban waste materials and convert them into fuels, steam, or electricity as an energy source. Waste-to-energy technologies systems can produce clean energy and reduce the volume of the waste by 90%, depending on its composition and the removal of toxic waste from the pile. By managing garbage more effectively and generating useable energy in the process, waste-to-energy technologies help reduce the quantity of waste and pollutants in landfills. The primary wastes converted into energy are residual and processed waste, manure slurries, municipal solid waste, and agricultural waste.

The market for waste-to-energy technologies is in high demand and is expanding, related to the desire for clean energy production. The market for waste-to-energy technologies is expanding due to the strict government regulations governing the creation of energy from waste products. In addition, as global technology advances, there is a higher need for energy and fuel, which directly affects the market value of waste-to-energy technologies. The market is expanding as a result of creative initiatives and active research and development in the sector.

COVID-19 Impact: Market Growth Impeded Due To Increased Medical Waste

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with waste to energy technologies market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant negative impact on global markets. The lockdown that was imposed in an effort to stop the virus's spread has had long-lasting detrimental repercussions on the markets. The pandemic's negative effects were also seen in the market for waste-to-energy technologies since the pandemic disrupted the global supply chain, causing labor and raw material shortages. Poor management of medical waste disposal resulted from the volume of trash generated by the healthcare industry, which ran the risk of becoming contaminated with viruses. Due to discarded objects containing COVID-19 virus evidence, the waste management system's pickers were hesitant. The excessive plastic pollution caused by single-use items and their disposal disrupted sustainable development initiatives. Each of these problems has constrained the waste-to-energy technologies market growth.
