Growth Opportunities in European Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs)

Description

Investments in Deploying Advanced and Digitalized Processes will Enhance Productivity while Achieving Carbon Neutrality

The study's main objective is to analyze investment opportunities in existing and new-build MRFs in Europe. It also discusses notable MRF operator investment trends, analyzes market drivers and restraints, and offers a detailed analysis of MRF solutions that support ongoing operational efficiency and processing capacity. The analysis includes data on the number of MRFs by key country in 2023, with forecasts up to 2030, as well as investment potential across MRFs by country. The study also analyzes the total volume of materials MRFs process and the volume of recovered materials, with the average material recovery rate stated in percentages.

Revenue forecast refers to MRF operators' combined CAPEX and OPEX in Europe, with CAPEX share divided by new-build and refurbishment projects.

Frost & Sullivan based the growth analysis on the 6P framework, which comprises Policies, Products, Processes, People, Partnerships, and Platforms.

The study also includes a detailed competitive analysis of major MRF operators, with examples of key growth accelerators and companies to watch. It concludes with an in-depth analysis of the top 3 growth opportunities for the European MRF market.
