Summary
The global market for waste compactors has been growing, with a forecast market size reaching $609 million by 2025 at a CAGR of 4.56%. The market faces challenges from alternative waste processing equipment such as shredders and incinerators, but continues to find demand in sectors such as retail, healthcare and aviation.
The French market for waste compactors, although there are no specific figures available, can be roughly estimated at around 40 million euros based on company sales and import-export figures. The French construction sector is a major end-user of waste compactors, particularly for the treatment of inert and non-hazardous waste.
The facilities management market in France is another key sector, which is expected to grow by 5% a year. Local authorities and waste collection service providers are also vital segments of the compactor market, with continuing pressure to manage waste efficiently due to factors such as the taxe générale sur les activités polluantes (TGAP).
The French waste industry involves various players, from production to pre-collection, collection to treatment and recovery, with waste collectors playing a central role, contributing to sustained demand for waste compactors.
Demand for waste compactors on the French market: Observations and estimates
On the French market, there is particular interest in machines designed to facilitate waste management, notably waste compactors. 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 sought after by different sectors, including balers that transform waste into bales for imméthese include balers, which transform waste into bales for immediate sorting, and more general compactors, which are used to compress a mixture of coarse waste, usually from industrial or municipal activities.
The French market is demonstrating dynamic demand for these machines from a variety of key players, including construction sites, facilities management, local authorities and waste collection service providers. In France, construction sites produce over 250 million tonnes of waste per year, much of which can be managed using compaction techniques. Similarly, the facility management sector, whose growth is estimated at between 40 and 50 billion euros, makes waste management one of its main activities, making the use of compaction equipment a necessity.
Local authorities, responsible for household waste management, are also a crucial market segment for waste compactors. They are responsible for around 354 kilograms of household waste per inhabitant per year. The high cost of waste management services - between €15 and €20 per inhabitant - encourages these entities to invest in compaction technology to save on waste management. Waste collection service providers, whose market in France is estimated to be worth around €5 billion in 2021, are showing an upward trend in demand for efficient waste management solutions, including compactors.
The sector is fairly concentrated, however, with a few large companies leading the way. Events, including temporary ones such as festivals and trade shows, generate substantial quantities of waste, often handled by rental companies supplying compaction equipment.
To sum up, the use of waste compactors in France is driven not only by the need to manage massive volumes of waste produced by various economic activities, but also by the need to reduce the amount of waste generated.generated by various economic activities, but also by regulatory and fiscal pressures aimed at improving the efficiency of waste management.
