Asia Pacific Garbage Truck Bodies Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product Type (Front Loaders, Rear Loaders, Side Loaders), By Application (Urban Garbage Treatment, Building & Mining Industry, Others), and Regional Forecast, 2023-2030

Asia Pacific has the highest global garbage truck bodies market share. It is projected to display significant growth at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period. The Asia Pacific market for garbage truck bodies is projected to grow from USD 1.39 billion in 2022 to USD 2.24 billion by 2030.

The Asia Pacific region struggles with a robust waste management system due to several under-developing economies in this region. This has led to the piling of solid waste in this region due to improper disposal. Many local governments are recognizing this issue and are launching various initiatives to reduce the piling of waste in the region. For instance, in August 2022, the Minister of State announced around 34.7 lakh tons of plastic waste during 2019-2020. Of this, approximately 50% of the waste was recycled.

Our report on the Asia Pacific garbage truck bodies market covers regional analysis and the following countries/regions– China, India, Japan, South Korea, and the rest of Asia Pacific.

LATEST TRENDS

Growing Trend of Recycling and Formation of Robust Waste Management Presents Higher Adoption of Garbage Trucks in the Region

The recent industry trends show significant development of recycling initiatives adopted by various regional and local governments to reduce the heaping of waste products in the countries. Moreover, the under-developing countries in these regions are introducing innovative ways to involve the populace in the responsible disposal of waste in the region. For instance, in February 2022, the local government introduced an interactive user concept where the garbage trucks are equipped with a musical song that signals the residents to come down and dispose of the waste in the garbage trucks. Many of the neighborhoods in Taiwan lack proper infrastructure for waste management. This initiative by the local government solves the garbage issue and increases the awareness of proper waste disposal among the populace.

DRIVING FACTORS

Lack of System Approach for Refuse Collection within the Waste Management Industry to Propel the Market Growth

The Asia Pacific region's governments are implementing various strategies and initiatives to maximize waste collection rates and dispose of waste products. Additionally, the region is focused on increasing its recycling efforts to lower further the impact of garbage and waste on the environment. Additionally, due to lack of capital for waste management in developing countries, many governments struggle with proper waste disposal, leading to adverse impacts on the environment. However, many countries such as China, Japan, and India are highly focused on reducing waste generation in their respective countries. Major players recognize these opportunities for establishing a solid market presence and are introducing their products to dominate the Asia Pacific market.

• For instance, in August 2022, Fulongma showcased its electric garbage trucks in an electric vehicle show at Jakarta Convention in Indonesia. The government implemented significant reforms to reduce the country's dependency on imports and lower carbon emissions by promoting electric vehicles.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Stringent Emission Regulations in Asia Pacific to Restrain the Sale of IC Engine Garbage Truck Bodies 

Growing carbon emission is an ever-growing concern for democracies worldwide. According to IEA, in 2022, oil-related emissions grew by 180 million tons. Many regions focus on developing and integrating advanced technology, replacing fossil fuel dependency by adopting electric trucks and renewable fuel systems to reduce their carbon footprint. Asia Pacific local governments are working toward achieving carbon neutrality in waste management by deploying hydrogen fuel-cell and CNG-powered electric trucks. It has led to lower adoption of IC engine garbage trucks, affecting the Asia Pacific garbage truck bodies market growth.
