Summary of our market study
The French market for waste compactors can be roughly estimated at 40 million euros
The global market for waste compactors is worth around $600 million and growing at an annual rate of 5%. The market is faced with the challenges of alternative waste treatment equipment such as shredders and incinerators.
The French market for waste compactors can be roughly estimated at 40 million euros, based on company sales and import-export figures.
The French construction sector is a major end-user of waste compactors for the treatment of inert and non-hazardous waste.
The facilities management market in France is a related sector that is expected to grow by 5% a year. Local authorities and waste collection service providers are vital segments of the compactor market, with continuing pressure to manage waste efficiently due in particular to the general tax on polluting activities (TGAP).
The waste chain encompasses production, pre-collection, collection, treatment and recovery.
Demand for waste compactors on the French market
These machines are essential for reducing the volume of waste, enabling a more efficient and economical storage and transportation process. Different types of compactors are available: balers, which transform waste into bales for immediate sorting, and conventional compactors, used to compress large items of waste produced by industry or public authorities.
Various players make up the waste industry: construction sites, treatment plant managers, local authorities and waste collection service providers.
Construction sites produce over 250 million tonnes of waste a year, much of which can be managed using compaction techniques.
The facility management¨ sector, which is worth between 40 and 50 billion euros overall, makes waste management one of its main activities.
Local authorities, responsible for household waste management, represent a major market segment for waste compactors. Every French person produces 354 kilograms of household waste per year, which needs to be treated.
The high cost of waste management services, estimated at between 15 and 20 euros per inhabitant per year, is a driving force behind investment in compaction technology.
The French market for waste collection services is estimated to be worth around €5 billion in 2021. A few large companies dominate the sector.
Events such as festivals and trade shows generate large quantities of waste, often processed by rental companies supplying compaction equipment.

Summary and extracts
1 Market overview
1.1 Definition and scope of study
Waste compactors are machines used to simplify the dynamics of waste management. There are a number of different machines to choose from, depending on factors such as waste type, size, available space and work process dynamics.
The best-known machines are
- The baler: transforms waste into bales, facilitating storage. The advantage is immediate sorting. There are horizontal balers, such as conveyor belts, and vertical balers, which are more versatile and adaptable in terms of space.
- Compactors: used to compress large, mixed waste, generally from industrial activities or municipal waste.
Horizontal balers are generally used in large companies producing large quantities of waste, while smaller companies generally have a vertical baler to optimize available space.
As for the global waste compactor market, it was valued at $466 million in 2019 and is expected to reach $609 million by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.56%.
