FOOD WASTE MANAGEMENT MARKET SIZE AND SHARE ANALYSIS - GROWTH TRENDS AND FORECASTS (2025-2032)

The food waste management market is estimated to be valued at USD 82.13 Bn in 2025, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7% from 2025 to 2032. Food waste is a serious issue worldwide that negatively impacts the environment and economy. It is estimated that over one-third of the food produced for human consumption gets wasted, which amounts to billions of tones ending up in landfills annually. If left unchecked, food waste contributes significant amounts of methane and carbon dioxide emissions. It also squanders water, energy, and other resources used in food production. With growing awareness about this issue, governments and businesses are implementing strategies and solutions to reduce waste at various points in the supply chain from production to consumption. Food waste management is garnering attention as an important part of sustainable waste management practices and efforts to achieve food security.

 Market Dynamics:

The global food waste management market is driven by the rising awareness about environment and health hazards of food waste among consumers and industries. Government policies and regulations promoting the reduction of food waste going to landfills are also propelling the market growth. For instance, the EU Landfill Directive restricts food waste from being sent to landfills. Growing adoption of advanced food waste management solutions like anaerobic digestion that converts waste into renewable energy presents a major opportunity in this market. High initial costs of these systems could restrain market expansion. However, increasing focus on deriving monetary benefits from food waste will help overcome this challenge. Rising demand for organic compost and novel recycling methods will open new avenues for market players in the coming years.
