Rising Demand for Innovative Solutions Creates Growth Potential in European Industrial Waste Management Services Market

LONDON, July 9 /PRNewswire/ --     Rising waste volumes and growing legislative pressure have
necessitated steady investments in the European industrial waste management
industry. Opportunities are diverse, owing to the varied stages of market
development across Europe, with Southern Europe and the United Kingdom
offering good growth prospects. At the same time, the market is likely to
experience a shift towards technologically advanced treatment solutions.

New research from Frost & Sullivan
(http://environmental.frost.com), European Industrial Waste Management
Services Market, finds that the market earned revenues of EUR46 billion in
2006 and estimates this to reach EUR54.41 billion in 2013.

"The EU waste management industry is governed by legislative
and regulatory drivers that are currently emphasising a shift from landfill
towards treatment options such as recycling, materials recovery and other
integrated waste management solutions," says Frost & Sullivan Industry
Analyst Suchitra Padmanabhan. "The market is at varied stages of development
across Europe, with diverse opportunities available for non-hazardous
industrial waste management services."

Surging industrial waste volumes as well as increasing demand
for efficient solutions and advanced technologies is spurring market
expansion. Rising public pressure and the growing importance for industrial
end users of a clean or 'green' image is further supporting investments in
sophisticated treatment alternatives.

With some regional variations, monitoring of waste is still at
an early stage across Europe. This has underpinned the overall fragmented
nature of market operations. Intensifying consolidation, a strong emphasis on
value-added services and the provision of integrated waste management
solutions are the other prominent trends that are tipping the balance in
favour of large multinational companies. Such multinationals are increasingly
strengthening their presence in the region, challenging smaller competitors.

"Emerging waste minimisation efforts, supported by
legislation, have prompted the adoption of technologies that restrict the
amount of waste produced at source," states Ms. Padmanabhan. "This obviously
reduces the demand for treatment equipment and solutions that cater to large
waste volumes, thereby posing a restraint to market expansion."

The demand for sophisticated treatment technologies, which
facilitate materials recovery and recycling, has accelerated, especially in
advanced regions such as Scandinavia and Germany. This trend has underlined
the importance of innovation and technological improvements, while also
encouraging market participants to develop expertise in specific areas of
waste management and add value to their client offerings.
