As per the source analysis, the residential section is anticipated to dominate the market owing to increasing consumer spending. Domestic consumables basically include materials that are used in any home on a daily basis. These materials include food scrap, newspapers, packages of different foods and beverages, and furniture. This garbage is generally collected from various single and nuclear family clusters. The growing penetration of such clusters is proving to have a substantial impact on the municipal solid waste management market. As per the treatment analysis, the disposal method is predicted to dominate the market in the coming years. Disposal methods comprise recycling, incineration, composting, and combustion. These methods help in reducing the waste that gets dumped in open landfills which emit harmful pollutants into the air making it contaminated and unfit for living things. It can be used for multiple purposes like energy generation or can be used as organic fertilizers. Strict rules and regulations imposed by the governments of various developed countries have helped in reducing waste accumulation in open spaces and such regulatory measures of safe trash treatment practices are assisting in the growth of the market. As per the material analysis, paper & paperboard are estimated to dominate the market as they are mainly used as packaging or non-durable goods. These non-durable goods comprise newspapers, tissue paper, cups, and paper plates. Owing to the rise in the packaging industry that is used for multiple applications such as food & beverages, eCommerce, home products, and consumer packaged goods, there has been an upsurge in the recycling of paper & paperboard materials. Also, severe measures taken by the governments of several countries in discouraging the applications of single-use plastics have created a huge impact on the usage of paper & paperboards.

As per the regional analysis, the region of North America is expected to dominate the market owing to its application of progressive and innovative technologies for the treatment of trash and its advanced practices. Advancements such as the conversion of food or any wet waste into energy is driving the need for the market. The growing population with increasing investments in the commercial sectors like automobile and construction, and the surging capacity of consumer spending are triggering the demand for the market in this region. Moreover, the prosperous tourism industry is creating a substantial impact on the growth of municipal solid waste management.
