In 2023, France saw approximately 3.70 thousand metric tons of medical devices waste recovered. The forecasted data indicates a consistent increase in recovery volumes, with values reaching 3.82 thousand metric tons in 2024 and rising annually until 4.31 thousand metric tons by 2028. This represents a year-on-year increase of around 3.1% to 3.2%. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period is estimated to approximate 3.2%, reflecting a steady upward trend in the recovery of medical devices waste.
Future trends to watch include advancements in waste recovery technology, regulatory changes favoring sustainable practices, and increasing pressure on the medical industry to enhance recycling and waste management protocols. These could further accelerate the trend and lead to even higher recovery rates. Environmental sustainability will remain a key focus area for both industry stakeholders and regulators.
