Global Waste-to-Energy Market

ESWET is proud to announce the publication of its inaugural Waste-to-Energy Industry Market Report. This comprehensive market intelligence publication covers the global WtE industry, excluding China. The research and analysis were conducted by Rhincodon Corporation AG.

“The global waste-to-energy market is expanding as municipalities, governments and infrastructure investors seek cleaner technologies for managing municipal solid waste, reducing landfill dependence and recovering energy and valuable resources.”

Drawing on ten years of market tracking (2016–2025) and over twenty years of market data and supplier insights, the report offers a structured overview of an industry entering a period of substantial transformation. While global award volumes have remained stable at their long-term average, regional dynamics are shifting: Asia (excluding China) is expanding beyond its traditional core markets; EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) is transitioning through emerging markets and early refurbishment cycles; Japan’s mature market is being driven by infrastructure upgrades; and the Americas are moving slowly, with no realised projects in Latin America.

The 2026 edition includes:

•  Market share and capacity breakdowns by supplier and country;
•  Regional year-by-year market dynamics;
•  Technology and fuel-type analysis;
•  Backlog insights and recent market developments;
•  New in 2026: expanded flue gas cleaning analysis, including initial data on bottom ash and carbon capture.
