The global medical waste management market was valued at over 10 Bn in 2016 and is expected to expand at the CAGR of above 5% during the forecast period of 2017 to 2025. Increase in incidence and prevalence of infectious and life style diseases, rapidly growing population, rise in healthcare expenditure, and adoption of novel technologies to treat the diseases are the major factors responsible for rise in the generation of medical waste. According to World health Organization (WHO), developed regions about 0.5 kg of hazardous waste per hospital bed per day; whereas developing regions generate on average 0.2 kg. Stringent regulations and rising health care costs leading to outsourcing of waste management, initiatives by governments and non-government organizations (NGOs) to manage medical waste, and technological advancements in the methods of waste disposal are the factors expected to drive the medical waste management market growth during the forecast period. However, lack of awareness about proper methods of waste segregation among healthcare workers, and high initial capital investment requiredto establish a medical waste disposal facility are the factors restraining the medical waste management market.

In terms of nature of waste, the global medical waste management market has been segmented into non-hazardous medical waste and hazardous medical waste. The non-hazardous medical waste was estimated to hold maximum market share in 2016. However, the hazardous medical waste segment is anticipated to grow significantly faster during the forecast period. According to World health Organization (WHO), non-hazardous and hazardous waste contributes 85% and 15% of the total medical waste generated respectively, among these, the non-hazardous waste is not properly separated owing to low awareness in low income countries making the real quantity of hazardous waste much higher.

The non-infectious or general waste segment is estimated to dominate the market in the year 2017, whereas infectious & pathological waste segment is expected to grow at significantly rapid rate by the year 2025.

In terms of waste generator types, the market is divided into large quantity medical waste generators and mid and small quantity medical waste generators. Increasing number of mid and small quantity medical waste generators and increasing focus of leading players on this group of waste generators are the factors expected to boost the growth of this segment by the year 2025. The large quantity medical waste generators segment is expected to dominate the global medical waste generators market owing to rapidly increasing number of hospitals and pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. The mid and small quantity medical waste generators segment is anticipated to expand at highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Geographically, the global Medical Waste Management is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America dominates the global medical waste management market owing to highest use of biomedical technologies and products, rapidly aging population, increasing healthcare expenditure, stringent laws for medical waste management, and highest awareness about safety and security of the public health and environment. Europe held second largest market in the year 2016 in the global medical waste management owing to increasing prevalence of infectious and lifestyle diseases, growing adoption of advanced medical technologies leading to increased diagnosis and treatment of various diseases, and presence of large number of healthcare waste generators in the region.
