E-waste Management Market to 2020 - Expansion of Domestic Electronics Sector to Drive Asia
Pacific Growth Despite Ban on Illegal Exports from Developed Countries
Summary
GBI Research’s new report, “E-waste Management Market to 2020 - Expansion of Domestic
Electronics Sector to Drive Asia Pacific Growth Despite Ban on Illegal Exports from Developed
Countries” provides key information and analysis on the market opportunities in the e-waste
management industry. The report provides key market trends and competitive landscape analysis
for the e-waste management market, and examines the current and forecast data for the e-waste
recovery market. The research discusses market dynamics in detail by providing analysis of the
key drivers, restraints and challenges of the e-waste management market. It segments the global
e-waste recovery market on the basis of materials recovered and geography.
E-waste is one of the fastest growing waste streams, globally. The rate of generation of e-waste is
high in both developed and developing economies. The main reason for the high growth rate in
developing countries is the increasing market penetration of electrical and electronics goods. In
developed economies, the rate of e-waste generation is high because of the high obsolescence
rate and high replacement rate of electrical and electronics items. GBI Research expects stringent
government regulations pertaining to e-waste management and increasing demand for the
recycled material to drive the e-waste management market. Key manufacturers such as Apple
Inc., Dell Inc. and Hewlett Packard Development Company (HP) are taking steps to ensure the
safe and environmentally friendly disposal of their discarded products.
This report is built using data and information sourced from proprietary databases, primary and
secondary research and in-house analysis by GBI Research’s team of industry experts.
