全球食品废弃物管理市场:预测至2032年-依废弃物类型、来源、服务、规模/部署方式、最终产品和地区进行分析Food Waste Management Market Forecasts to 2032 - Global Analysis By Waste Type, Source, Service, Scale & Deployment, End Product, and By Geography |
||||||
根据 Stratistics MRC 的一项研究,全球食物废弃物管理市场在 2025 年的估值为 825 亿美元,预计到 2032 年将达到 1,216 亿美元。
预计在预测期内,食品废弃物管理将以5.7%的复合年增长率成长。食品垃圾管理是指收集、处理和回收剩余及丢弃的食物,以最大限度地减少其对环境的负面影响。其重点在于减少废弃物产生、重新分配可食用食物,以及将不可食用废弃物转化为堆肥、动物饲料和生质能源等有用产品。有效的管理有助于减少温室气体排放、节约资源,并在整个食品供应链中促进永续性,从而鼓励企业和消费者采取负责任的垃圾处理和消费习惯。
根据联合国粮食及农业组织(粮农组织)的分析,全球粮食损失和浪费的数量仍然庞大(粮农组织先前的估计是每年损失和浪费约 13 亿吨粮食)。
都市化加速和食品消费增加
全球都市化加速,加上可支配所得的增加,直接导致食物废弃物量上升。城市人口密度高,生活节奏快,人们越来越依赖包装食品、外带和大规模餐饮服务业,而这些都显着增加了食物废弃物。由此,为了因应日益增长的垃圾量所带来的物流和环境挑战,对专业废弃物管理服务的需求持续增长,推动了市场的发展。
废弃物分类和收集系统缺乏标准化
阻碍市场效率的一大障碍是源头废弃物分类通讯协定执行不力,尤其是在住宅和商业设施。缺乏统一的法规和基础设施来将有机废弃物与其他垃圾分开,导致垃圾混杂,使后续处理环节更加复杂且高成本更高。这种低效率阻碍了对先进回收和再利用设施的投资,最终限制了可处理的食物废弃物的品质和数量,从而限制了市场的潜力。
食品废弃物技术创新
技术创新为市场成长提供了巨大的机会。厌氧消化技术的进步,能够有效地将废弃物转化为沼气和生物肥料,从而提高了处理产量和经济效益。此外,人工智慧智慧垃圾桶和物联网物流平台的出现,正在优化废弃物收集路线和监控。这些技术降低了营运成本,提升了回收的提案,创造了新的收入来源,并使食物废弃物管理对市政当局和企业而言成为更具吸引力和永续的投资。
来自其他废弃物处理方法的竞争
该市场面临来自传统且通常成本较低的废弃物处理方法(例如不进行能源回收的掩埋和焚烧)的持续竞争。在许多地区,掩埋费仍然很低,使其成为废弃物产生者的一种经济有效的选择,儘管其对环境的影响更大。这种经济优势可能会阻碍更永续管理解决方案的采用,并对市场扩张构成威胁,除非引入更严格的环境法规和碳定价机制来创造公平的经济竞争环境。
疫情初期,由于餐饮业(废弃物的主要产生行业)停业以及封锁措施导致收集和处理环节劳动力短缺,食品废弃物管理市场受到衝击。供应链中断导致农场层级的食品损耗增加。然而,这场危机也提高了消费者对食品安全和家庭废弃物问题的认识。此外,疫情加速了数位化废弃物追踪和收集平台的普及,随着市场復苏并适应新常态,这些平台有望长期提升营运效率。
预计在预测期内,水果和蔬菜细分市场将占据最大的市场份额。
由于水果和蔬菜极易腐烂,且从生产、加工到零售和消费的整个供应链中都会产生巨大损耗,预计在预测期内,水果和蔬菜细分市场将占据最大的市场份额。由于外观不符合标准,其中很大一部分产品往往被认为合格销售,导致持续产生废弃物。这为废弃物管理服务提供了持续且大量的原材料,从而巩固了该细分市场在市场格局中的主导地位。
预计零售和批发板块在预测期内将实现最高的复合年增长率。
预计零售和批发行业在预测期内将实现最高成长率。这主要是由于监管机构对大规模超级市场和经销商施加了越来越大的压力,要求其最大限度地减少对环境的影响,以及企业在永续性方面面临的要求日益提高。此外,意识提升也促使零售商采取透明的废弃物管理措施。这促使企业加大对先进解决方案的投资,例如废弃物发电系统和有机物回收利用,推动了该行业的快速扩张。
预计在预测期内,欧洲地区将占据最大的市场份额。这一主导地位主要归功于欧盟严格的法规结构,包括《掩埋指令》和《循环经济行动计画》,这些措施积极限制掩埋掩埋,并促进废弃物回收。政府对回收基础设施的大力支持、公共的高度重视以及先进技术的应用,共同创造了一个成熟且一体化的市场环境,确保了欧洲在市场价值方面持续保持主导地位。
预计亚太地区在预测期内将实现最高的复合年增长率。这一加速成长主要得益于中国、印度和日本等国的快速都市化、不断壮大的中产阶级人口以及日益增长的城市固体废物量。此外,各国政府日益重视发展废弃物管理基础设施并实施新的政策以污染防治,也为市场扩张创造了有利条件。该地区拥有巨大的未开发潜力,使其成为成长最快的市场。
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Food Waste Management Market is accounted for $82.5 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $121.6 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period. Food waste management involves collecting, processing, and recycling leftover or discarded food to minimize environmental harm. It focuses on reducing waste generation, redistributing edible food, and converting inedible waste into useful products like compost, animal feed, or bioenergy. Effective management helps lower greenhouse gas emissions, conserve resources, and promote sustainability across the food supply chain, encouraging both businesses and consumers to adopt responsible disposal and consumption practices.
According to FAO/UN analyses, global food loss & waste remains large (historic FAO estimate ~1.3 billion tonnes lost/wasted annually.
Rising urbanization and food consumption
The accelerating pace of global urbanization, coupled with rising disposable incomes, is directly increasing the volume of food waste generated. Dense urban populations and busier lifestyles promote greater reliance on packaged foods, food delivery, and large-scale food service establishments, all of which contribute significantly to food waste streams. This creates a consistent and growing demand for professional waste management services to handle the logistical and environmental challenges posed by this escalating waste volume, thereby propelling the market forward.
Lack of standardized waste segregation and collection systems
A significant barrier to market efficiency is the inconsistent implementation of waste segregation protocols at the source, particularly in residential and commercial settings. The absence of uniform regulations and infrastructure for separating organic waste from other refuse leads to contamination, making subsequent processing stages more complex and costly. This inefficiency discourages investment in advanced recycling and recovery facilities, ultimately restraining the market's potential by limiting the quality and quantity of processable food waste.
Technological advancements in food waste processing
Innovation presents a substantial opportunity for market growth. Advancements in anaerobic digestion technology, which efficiently converts waste into biogas and biofertilizers, are enhancing process yields and economic viability. Furthermore, the emergence of AI-powered smart bins and IoT-enabled logistics platforms optimizes waste collection routes and monitoring. These technologies reduce operational costs and improve the value proposition of recycling, creating new revenue streams and making food waste management a more attractive and sustainable investment for municipalities and corporations.
Competition from alternative waste disposal methods
The market faces persistent competition from traditional and often cheaper waste disposal methods, primarily landfilling and incineration without energy recovery. In many regions, landfill tipping fees remain low, providing a cost-effective, albeit environmentally damaging, alternative for waste generators. This economic advantage can deter the adoption of more sustainable management solutions, posing a threat to market expansion unless stricter environmental regulations or carbon pricing mechanisms are implemented to level the economic playing field.
The pandemic initially disrupted the food waste management market through lockdowns, which halted operations in the hospitality sector, a major waste source, and caused labor shortages in collection and processing. Supply chain disruptions led to increased farm-level spoilage. However, the crisis also heightened consumer awareness about food scarcity and waste at home. Furthermore, it accelerated the adoption of digital platforms for waste tracking and collection, potentially driving long-term operational efficiencies as the market recovers and adapts to a new normal.
The fruits and vegetables segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The fruits and vegetables segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period due to their highly perishable nature and significant volume of loss occurring across the entire supply chain, from production and handling to retail and consumption. A substantial portion of this produce is often deemed unfit for sale due to cosmetic standards, leading to consistent waste generation. This creates a continuous and sizable feedstock for waste management services, solidifying the segment's dominant position in the market landscape.
The retail & wholesale segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Over the forecast period, the retail & wholesale segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate. This is primarily driven by increasing regulatory pressures and corporate sustainability mandates that compel large supermarkets and distributors to minimize their environmental footprint. Additionally, rising consumer awareness is pushing retailers to adopt transparent waste management practices. To comply, these entities are increasingly investing in advanced solutions like waste-to-energy systems and organic recycling, fueling rapid segment expansion.
During the forecast period, the Europe region is expected to hold the largest market share. This leadership is largely attributed to the European Union's stringent regulatory framework, including the Landfill Directive and Circular Economy Action Plan, which actively discourage landfilling and promote waste valorization. Strong governmental support for recycling infrastructure, coupled with high public awareness and advanced technological adoption, creates a mature and consolidated market environment, ensuring Europe's continued dominance in terms of market value.
Over the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR. This accelerated growth is fueled by rapid urbanization, expanding middle-class populations, and increasing volumes of municipal waste in countries like China, India, and Japan. Furthermore, growing governmental focus on developing waste management infrastructure and implementing new policies to tackle urban pollution is creating a fertile ground for market expansion. The region presents significant untapped potential, driving its status as the fastest-growing market.
