全球食品廢棄物管理市場:預測至2032年-依廢棄物類型、來源、服務、規模/部署方式、最終產品和地區進行分析Food Waste Management Market Forecasts to 2032 - Global Analysis By Waste Type, Source, Service, Scale & Deployment, End Product, and By Geography |
||||||
根據 Stratistics MRC 的一項研究,全球食物廢棄物管理市場在 2025 年的估值為 825 億美元,預計到 2032 年將達到 1,216 億美元。
預計在預測期內,食品廢棄物管理將以5.7%的複合年成長率成長。食品垃圾管理是指收集、處理和回收剩餘及丟棄的食物,以最大限度地減少其對環境的負面影響。其重點在於減少廢棄物產生、重新分配可食用食物,以及將不可食用廢棄物轉化為堆肥、動物飼料和生質能源等有用產品。有效的管理有助於減少溫室氣體排放、節約資源,並在整個食品供應鏈中促進永續性,從而鼓勵企業和消費者採取負責任的垃圾處理和消費習慣。
根據聯合國糧食及農業組織(糧農組織)的分析,全球糧食損失和浪費的數量仍然龐大(糧農組織先前的估計是每年損失和浪費約 13 億噸糧食)。
都市化加速和食品消費增加
全球都市化加速,加上可支配所得的增加,直接導致食物廢棄物量上升。城市人口密度高,生活節奏快,人們越來越依賴包裝食品、外帶和大規模餐飲服務業,而這些都顯著增加了食物廢棄物。由此,為了因應日益成長的垃圾量所帶來的物流和環境挑戰,對專業廢棄物管理服務的需求持續成長,推動了市場的發展。
廢棄物分類和收集系統缺乏標準化
阻礙市場效率的一大障礙是源頭廢棄物分類通訊協定執行不力,尤其是在住宅和商業設施。缺乏統一的法規和基礎設施來將有機廢棄物與其他垃圾分開,導致垃圾混雜,使後續處理環節更加複雜且高成本更高。這種低效率阻礙了對先進回收和再利用設施的投資,最終限制了可處理的食物廢棄物的品質和數量,從而限制了市場的潛力。
食品廢棄物技術創新
技術創新為市場成長提供了巨大的機會。厭氧消化技術的進步,能夠有效地將廢棄物轉化為沼氣和生物肥料,從而提高了處理產量和經濟效益。此外,人工智慧智慧垃圾桶和物聯網物流平台的出現,正在最佳化廢棄物收集路線和監控。這些技術降低了營運成本,提升了回收的提案,創造了新的收入來源,並使食物廢棄物管理對市政當局和企業而言成為更具吸引力和永續的投資。
來自其他廢棄物處理方法的競爭
該市場面臨來自傳統且通常成本較低的廢棄物處理方法(例如不進行能源回收的掩埋和焚燒)的持續競爭。在許多地區,掩埋費仍然很低,使其成為廢棄物產生者的一種經濟有效的選擇,儘管其對環境的影響更大。這種經濟優勢可能會阻礙更永續管理解決方案的採用,並對市場擴張構成威脅,除非引入更嚴格的環境法規和碳定價機制來創造公平的經濟競爭環境。
疫情初期,由於餐飲業(廢棄物的主要產生行業)停業以及封鎖措施導致收集和處理環節勞動力短缺,食品廢棄物管理市場受到衝擊。供應鏈中斷導致農場層級的食品損耗增加。然而,這場危機也提高了消費者對食品安全和家庭廢棄物問題的認知。此外,疫情加速了數位化廢棄物追蹤和收集平台的普及,隨著市場復甦並適應新常態,這些平台有望長期提升營運效率。
預計在預測期內,水果和蔬菜細分市場將佔據最大的市場佔有率。
由於水果和蔬菜極易腐爛,且從生產、加工到零售和消費的整個供應鏈中都會產生巨大損耗,預計在預測期內,水果和蔬菜細分市場將佔據最大的市場佔有率。由於外觀不符合標準,其中很大一部分產品往往被認為合格銷售,導致持續產生廢棄物。這為廢棄物管理服務提供了持續且大量的原料,從而鞏固了該細分市場在市場格局中的主導地位。
預計零售和批發板塊在預測期內將實現最高的複合年成長率。
預計零售和批發行業在預測期內將實現最高成長率。這主要是由於監管機構對大規模超級市場和經銷商施加了越來越大的壓力,要求其最大限度地減少對環境的影響,以及企業在永續性方面面臨的要求日益提高。此外,意識提升也促使零售商採取透明的廢棄物管理措施。這促使企業加大對先進解決方案的投資,例如廢棄物發電系統和有機物回收利用,推動了該行業的快速擴張。
預計在預測期內,歐洲地區將佔據最大的市場佔有率。這一主導地位主要歸功於歐盟嚴格的法規結構,包括《掩埋指令》和《循環經濟行動計畫》,這些措施積極限制掩埋掩埋,並促進廢棄物回收。政府對回收基礎設施的大力支持、公共的高度重視以及先進技術的應用,共同創造了一個成熟且一體化的市場環境,確保了歐洲在市場價值方面持續保持主導地位。
預計亞太地區在預測期內將實現最高的複合年成長率。這一加速成長主要得益於中國、印度和日本等國的快速都市化、不斷壯大的中產階級人口以及日益成長的城市固體廢物量。此外,各國政府日益重視發展廢棄物管理基礎設施並實施新的政策以污染防治,也為市場擴張創造了有利條件。該地區擁有巨大的未開發潛力,使其成為成長最快的市場。
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.
