Global Municipal Solid Waste Power Generation Market Growth (Status and Outlook) 2026-2032
Description
The global Municipal Solid Waste Power Generation market size is predicted to grow from US$ 8726 million in 2025 to US$ 14167 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2026 to 2032.
Urban solid waste power generation (also known as waste-to-energy incineration) refers to a resource-based energy utilization method that uses the heat energy generated from the high-temperature incineration of municipal solid waste such as household garbage to drive a steam turbine generator set, thereby converting it into electricity. It combines the benefits of waste reduction, harmlessness, and resource recovery. The upstream of its industrial chain includes waste collection and transportation companies, incineration equipment manufacturers (such as boilers and flue gas purification systems), automated control systems, and environmental protection material suppliers. The midstream consists of investors and construction companies of waste-to-energy incineration projects (such as Everbright Environment, Green Power, and Kangheng Environment). The downstream includes power grid companies purchasing electricity, local governments paying waste disposal service fees, and some waste heat supply or ash and slag resource utilization. Due to the franchise nature of the projects, stable cash flow, and policy support, the overall gross profit margin of mature operating projects generally remains at 30%–45%, with waste disposal fees and electricity sales revenue constituting the two core sources of income.
The industry trend for Municipal Solid Waste Power Generation is witnessing growth as communities and governments focus on sustainable waste management and renewable energy production. The increased awareness of environmental concerns and climate change has led to a shift towards reducing waste sent to landfills and utilizing waste as a valuable resource. Municipalities and waste management companies are investing in advanced technologies and infrastructure for more efficient and environmentally friendly waste-to-energy processes. The trend is towards integrated waste management systems that incorporate sorting, recycling, and energy recovery from MSW. Additionally, there is a growing emphasis on circular economy concepts, where waste becomes a resource for energy generation, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting a sustainable approach to waste disposal. As the need for alternative energy sources and sustainable waste management practices continues to grow, the industry for Municipal Solid Waste Power Generation is expected to witness further development and innovation.
