Tighter Environmental and Technical Waste Management Regulations to Encourage Industrial Waste Management Outsourcing in Europe

Posted on: Wednesday, 26 April 2006, 09:00 CDT

LONDON, April 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Growing legislative pressure in Europe to shift away from landfill disposal is supporting the development of on-site waste treatment facilities. Accordingly, stricter environmental and technical waste management regulations will create steady demand for treatment equipment and waste management specialists, contributing to strong revenue growth over the long-term.

Frost & Sullivan (http://www.environment.frost.com/) finds that Outsourcing Opportunities in the European Industrial Waste Management Markets generated revenues of $550.0 million in 2005 and estimates this to reach $876.2 million in 2012.

"The key factor promoting the outsourcing of industrial waste management remains its potential to reduce costs or, at the very least, fix variable costs," notes Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst Suchitra Padmanabhan. "This has ensured enhanced efficiency and has allowed plants to renew focus on core production-related functions at the industrial site as evidenced by the widespread popularity of the outsourcing model among specific end-user sectors, particularly the automotive industry."

A successful history of outsourcing contracts has boosted the perception of contracting out non-core activities such as water, wastewater treatment and waste management to external specialists. Moreover, this externalisation is expected to enhance on-site efficiency and production-related features by enabling industries to focus on core areas of expertise.

However, while outsourcing of industrial waste management presents a wide range of opportunities, it also creates challenges. A high level of end-user diversity demands increasing specialisation and innovative approaches. Volumes and types of wastes generated on-site differ among industries, therefore requiring waste management suppliers to develop unique and tailor-made solutions to meet site-specific needs.

At the same time, following the shift of industrial growth from northern Europe to southern, central and eastern Europe, these regions have become growing centres of demand for on-site waste management. Accordingly, suppliers will need to actively gauge market conditions in these emerging markets and establish partnerships with local participants in order to rapidly establish a competitive presence.

"Industrial waste outsourcing suppliers will need to make heavy investments in terms of time, resources and finance in order to effectively cater to the specialist demands of each industrial end user," says Ms. Padmanabhan. "Moreover, ease of flexibility and resource management will aid the presence of large contractors and integrated service providers in this market."
