Food Waste Composting Machine Market Size

The market for food waste composting machines was worth about USD 10.6 billion in 2023. It is expected to grow at a rate of 9.5% per year from 2024 to 2032. This is because more people are becoming aware of sustainable waste management practices, cities are growing, and governments are working to promote good waste management practices. As cities get bigger, there is less and less room available. This makes it harder for traditional composting processes that need more space to work. As cities grow, they need to use small, efficient composting devices that can work well in small settings.

A study in "Nature Climate Change" found that composting devices for food waste can lower methane emissions by up to 80%. Composting food scraps instead of throwing them away cuts down on methane emissions, which is a powerful greenhouse gas that makes climate change worse. This helps lessen its effects. This discovery shows how composting machines are good for the environment and how they can help with long-term waste management and fighting climate change. So, using these machines can be a very important step toward lowering greenhouse gas emissions and making the Earth a healthier place to live.
