The European non-market output in waste management exhibits notable diversity among countries. In 2023, Spain topped the list at €34.12 million with a modest growth of 2.3%. Conversely, Portugal saw a significant decline of 4.98%. Germany, Italy, and Greece reported moderate growth, with Italy leading at 4.99%. Northern and Eastern European countries like Latvia and Slovenia experienced the most substantial declines, at -7.63% and -9.82% respectively. Over the last five years, a mix of positive growth in Spain and declines elsewhere suggests varied government investment levels and waste management strategies across Europe.
Future trends to watch include increased public sector investment in waste management driven by EU sustainability goals. Higher growth is expected in countries currently underdeveloped in waste processing, focusing on green technologies and circular economy initiatives. Countries with moderate growth might implement policy shifts to upscale their waste management efficiency and quality.
