In 2023, France collected approximately 4.0 thousand metric tons of medical device waste. The forecasted data indicates a steady increase in waste collection, projecting figures of 4.09 thousand metric tons in 2024 and reaching 4.54 thousand metric tons by 2028. Year-on-year growth rates are modest, showing a gradual increase each year. Over the 5-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is anticipated to reflect the consistent rise in waste collection.

Future trends to watch for:

Implementation of stricter regulatory frameworks aiming to reduce medical device waste.
Technological innovations leading to increased recycling and waste conversion efficiency.
Shifts towards sustainable and biodegradable materials in medical devices.
