The space needed for manual waste collection and dump bins is no longer necessary, thanks to the automated waste collection system. It uses modern vacuum technology for cost-effective and environmentally responsible waste collection. This method offers significant environmental advantages over most of the world's current waste collection systems. The rise in urban population, growing environmental consciousness, and increased attention to correctly collecting trash and waste piles for disposal are the main factors driving the demand for automated garbage collection systems in metropolitan regions.
Due to rising CO2 emissions and growing consumer awareness of environmentally friendly waste collection management systems, the market for automated garbage collection systems is expected to grow. Pneumatic garbage collection systems have been aggressively installed by market participants, such as Sweden's Envac AB, to improve the waste collection process for reducing pollution and protecting the environment from threats. Additionally, the spread of infectious disease vectors caused by trash disposal and improper trash treatment has a harmful direct and indirect influence on health, driving up the need for automated waste collection systems.
The high operational expenses for waste transportation and pickup are a driving force behind implementing automated garbage collection systems. According to trends, IoT, creative garbage collection technologies, and automated waste collection systems are used in smart cities in countries like the U.S. and the U.K. As local authorities become more aware of the benefits of intelligent waste management systems, the project for automated waste collection systems is growing.
Europe is the most significant shareholder in the global automated waste collection system (AWCS) market and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.4% during the forecast period. MariMatic was chosen as the AWCS supplier for the new residential area with 5,500 apartments in Sluisbuurt, Netherlands, following a public bidding process. In addition, a partnership was established between Deutsche Telekom and Zolitron Technology GmbH to recycle glass containers using IoT sensors. These sensors do not need batteries because tiny solar panels power them. These situations will likely fuel market expansion for waste management equipment during the anticipated term. Important companies like Veolia Environnement S.A. and SUEZ Environmental Services provide intelligent waste management systems. It is also projected that more sustainable development and various approaches to recycling waste will hasten market expansion.
Asia-Pacific is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.5%, generating USD 174,839.2 million during the forecast period. China is the nation that makes the most significant contribution to the Asia-Pacific AWCS market. Furthermore, Malaysia-based STREAM Environment Sdn. Bhd. is the only producer of AWCS in the Asia-Pacific region. The region offers AWCS products and services by Envac AB, MariMatic Oy, and other important companies. The growing trend toward creating smart cities in developing nations like South Korea, India, Singapore, Malaysia, and others is also expected to increase the region's need for AWCS. Less than 20% of the municipal solid waste generated in India's metropolitan cities and towns is treated, and the majority—about 50%—is dumped straight into landfills. For instance, it is hoped that the "Swatch Bharat Abhiyaan" effort will promote market expansion.
