E-Waste Management Market Analysis

Source (Household Appliances, Commercial Devices, Industrial Devices)

The global e-waste management market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by source into household appliances, commercial devices, industrial devices, and others. The household appliances segment is expected to garner the largest market share by 2036 as households form the largest consumer base of electronic gadgets and hence the generation of e-wastes from this base is also massive. In 2022, the percentage of households with computers was almost 93% in the United States. Moreover, in the next 20 years, in India, people are expected to buy around 300 million air conditioners.

Material Type (Metal, Glass, Plastic)

The global e-waste management market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by material type into metal, plastic, glass, and others. Among these, the metal segment is predicted to hold the largest market share in the forecast period owing to dramatic changes in the electronic and electric industries in the past few years and the growing use of electrical scraps and recycling & incineration of these materials that have received significant approvals in the recent years. Moreover, the lack of toxic waste discharge from cremation and scrap has enhanced the demand for efficient scrap management techniques as health problems including bronchial spasms, kidney damage, and other disorders are on the rise. Therefore, mechanical recycling and thermos-chemical procedures play a significant role in metal recovery from e-waste (MREW) technology.
