Innovation in Waste Treatment Technology Has Become a Sustainable Alternative for Handling Bio-Hazardous Waste

Palm Beach, FL – February 3, 2022 – FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary – The Medical Waste management market has been growing significantly over the past few years and is projected to continue into the future. The global medical waste management market is growing at a remarkable rate from the past late years. High investment in the initial setup coupled with lack of industrial recycling facilities, especially in developing countries are some of the underlying factors restraining the growth of the medical waste treatment industry. A report published by Market Watch projected that the global medical waste management market anticipated to reach USD $8,681 Million with a significant CAGR of 5.3% through 2025.  The report said that the U.S. currently dominates the global medical waste management market. It said: “Based on region, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. The medical waste management market is dominated by North America driven by its policy & reforms for medical waste management, rising prevalence of infectious and chronic diseases, that require advanced medical & surgical aids, which generate a vast number of by-products and residues to drive the medical waste management market globally in the coming years.  Active companies in the markets today include:  Viking Energy Group, Inc. (OTCQB: VKIN), Heritage-Crystal Clean, Inc. (NASDAQ: HCCI), Casella Waste Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CWST), CECO Environmental Corp. (NASDAQ: CECE), Aris Water Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: ARIS).

Additionally, the expansion in technological advancements and the rising generation of excess medical waste over the globe are anticipated to propel the growth of the medical waste management market through 2025.
