The global e-waste management market volume is estimated to reach 101.3 million metric tons in 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2025 to 2030. The rapid pace of technological advancements significantly drives the growth of the market. As new technologies emerge and consumer electronics become more sophisticated, the lifecycle of electronic devices shortens, leading to increased turnover rates and higher volumes of discarded electronics. The scenario creates a substantial demand for effective and sustainable e-waste management solutions to handle the growing surge of electronic waste responsibly.
The increasing adoption of electronic devices across various sectors fuels the market's growth. In recent years, there has been a remarkable increase in the adoption of smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other consumer electronics, driven by technological advancements and increasing consumer demand for connectivity and convenience. This trend extends beyond consumer electronics to encompass sectors such as Information Technology (IT), telecommunications, healthcare, and industrial equipment, where electronic devices are integral to operations and services. Technological innovations and the continuous evolution of electronic devices play a pivotal role in accelerating e-waste generation. As newer models with enhanced features and capabilities enter the market, older devices quickly become obsolete, prompting users and organizations to discard them.
However, high costs associated with e-waste recycling are expected to hinder market growth. Moreover, the procurement of high-end machinery to effectively recycle the scrap, coupled with instructing the workers about the meticulous execution of every step, remain the major hurdles in the growth of the market. However, increasing awareness about the hazardous effects of e-waste on human health, along with strict regulations concerning the generation and treatment of e-waste in most countries, are expected to reduce the impact of these challenges over the forecast period.
