Medical and Pharmaceutical Industry - Market Research Report

  Medical Waste Disposal Category Overview The medical waste disposal category is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2023 to 2030. Appropriate disposal of medical trash is the key challenge for healthcare providers across the globe. Rising awareness about the benefits of proper medical waste management for treatment, recycling, and disposal of medical trash has boosted the growth of the category. According to the World Health Organization Study Report 2022, countries with low income generate over 0.2 kg of medical trash per day per hospital bed, whereas countries with high income generate hazardous waste of up to 0.5 kg per hospital bed each day. Moreover, rising government initiatives and strict rules and regulations for waste management are also expected to drive the category. For instance, in December 2022, an MOU was signed between the Center for Health Environment Research and Development and Can Tho Central General Hospital under USAID’s Reducing Pollution Project. This
