Smart Waste Management Market Analysis

ID: MRFR//0488-CR | 155 Pages | Author: Aarti Dhapte| February 2020

The cost of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors has experienced a notable and consistent decline, presenting a significant trend in the technology landscape. According to Goldman Sachs, a global leader in investment banking, the cost of IoT sensors has been on a downward trajectory since 2004. Over the course of a decade between 2004 and 2014, the average cost of IoT sensors witnessed a substantial decrease, plummeting from USD 1.30 to USD 0.60. Projections indicate a further decrease of 37% to reach USD 0.38 by 2020. This price reduction can be attributed to a combination of factors, with the influx of numerous IoT vendors into the market playing a pivotal role in intensifying competition.

The steady drop in the cost of IoT sensors has far-reaching implications for various industries, particularly in the realm of smart waste management. In this context, the integration of different types of sensors—ranging from temperature sensors and proximity sensors to location sensors—is imperative. These sensors play a crucial role in the functioning of IoT-based smart waste management systems, providing waste processing plants with insightful data for enhanced waste management practices.

For instance, garbage bins equipped with sensors and connected through IoT networks can collect a wealth of data, including the level of fill, temperature, and location. This data becomes a valuable resource for the sanitation department, empowering them with actionable insights. A centralized console offers a live feed of the locations and fill levels of all bins, enabling waste collectors to optimize their routes. Through automated route planning, areas in urgent need of cleanup are prioritized, while areas that are relatively clean can be efficiently avoided. This data-driven approach streamlines waste collection operations, making them more efficient and responsive to the dynamic conditions of waste accumulation in urban environments.

The continuous decline in the cost of IoT sensors contributes to the affordability and widespread adoption of smart waste management solutions. As the competition among IoT vendors intensifies, the market is witnessing an influx of innovative technologies and solutions. The integration of sensors into waste management processes not only optimizes resource utilization but also enhances the overall efficiency and sustainability of waste management practices. The live data feeds and automated route planning facilitated by these sensors exemplify how technology can revolutionize waste collection, offering real-time insights that enable a proactive and strategic approach to urban waste management.

Smart Waste Management Market Overview


According to the reports, the Global Smart Waste Management Market size is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.20%, reaching a market size of USD 10.2 billion by 2032. Smart waste management is the process of collecting, transporting, and properly disposing of trash in a manner that has the least amount of environmental impact. It is possible to implement smart waste management by incorporating sensors into trash containers, which may be used to monitor the amount of waste in waste bins and inform the municipal garbage collection services when the bins need to be emptied. The information gathered by the sensors is used to detect fill trends, decrease operating expenses, and improve driver timetables and routes, amongst other things.

Rapid urbanization, a rising economy, and shifting lifestyles are just a few of the reasons contributing to the development of the worldwide smart waste management market growth in recent years. A smart waste management system is a process that collects, transports, and disposes of waste products in an efficient way with the least amount of negative effect on the environment possible. Using smart bins for waste collection and a trash surveillance system to keep track of waste enables waste management agencies to manage waste more efficiently. 

 

In addition to the growing number of smart city projects, there has been a proliferation of sensing devices, which has contributed to the development of the market during the projected period. In contrast, a lack of effective connection may limit the expansion of the smart waste management industry. The waste management system requires broad network coverage as well as high data transfer rates. Structural and process, on the other hand, are built on LTE advanced networks, which do not have the capacity to support the high data rates and minute coverage required by IoT sensors in the future.
