Asia (Japan, South Korea, China, India, ASEAN) Waste and Biomass Valorization Market Growth Accelerated by Developing Renewable Energy Sector
Waste and biomass valorization refer to the process of converting
waste and biomass resources, such as municipal solid waste (MSW), agricultural
waste and forestry residues into valuable products that include chemicals,
materials and fuels through various thermochemical and biochemical processes.
The rising awareness regarding sustainable waste management and increasing
focus on development of renewable energy have accelerated the production of
fuels and materials from waste and biomass. The global Asia (Japan, South
Korea, China, India, ASEAN) Waste and Biomass Valorization Market is estimated
to be valued at US$ 118.9 billion in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of
7.8% over the forecast period 2023-2033, as highlighted in a new report
published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
The increasing utilization of biomass and municipal solid waste for energy
production in developing renewable energy sector across Asia Pacific countries
has been a key market trend. Countries like China, India, Japan, and South
Korea are emphasizing on the development of renewable sources of energy to
address energy security concerns and mitigate environmental challenges arising
from conventional fuel usage. For instance, the Chinese government aims to
increase the share of non-fossil fuels in primary energy consumption to around
20% by 2030. This is boosting the adoption of advanced waste to energy
technologies for renewable power generation from urban and agricultural waste
in the region.
Segment Analysis
The Asia (Japan, South Korea, China, India, ASEAN) waste and biomassvalorization market is dominated by the energy recovery segment. Energy
recovery being the most viable application for waste-to-energy conversion,
utilizes various waste streams like municipal solid waste, biomass, plastic
waste etc to generate energy through processes like incineration, pyrolysis and
gasification. Municipal solid waste accounts for the largest share within the
energy recovery segment. Rapid urbanization and changing consumption patterns
in Asia have led to substantial increase in municipal waste generation
outpacing existing waste management infrastructure, thereby driving the
adoption of waste-to-energy technologies for sustainable waste management.
The Asia (Japan, South Korea, China, India, ASEAN) waste and biomass valorization market is expected to witness high growth on account of rising environmental awareness, stringent regulations around waste management and growing need for sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels.
Regional analysis: China dominates the Asia waste and biomass valorization market backed by supportive government policies and initiatives promoting waste-to-energy projects over the last decade. Countries like India and Indonesia are emerging as fast growing markets driven by growing urbanization and industrialization.
Key players: Key players operating in the Asia (Japan, South Korea, China, India, ASEAN) waste and biomass valorization market are Hitachi Zosen Inova, China Everbright, Covanta, Veolia, Suez, Keppel Seghers Belgium NV.
