According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Japan Waste-to-Energy Market Report by Technology (Physical, Thermal, Biological), and Region 2025-2033” finds that the Japan waste-to-energy market size reached 59.2 TWh in 2024. Waste-to-energy (WtE) refers to the process of generating energy in the form of electricity or heat from the primary treatment of waste. It is manufactured through common methods like incineration, gasification, and pyrolysis. It can vary in size and technology, catering to different types of waste, including municipal solid waste, industrial waste, and biomass. It significantly reduces the volume of waste that needs to be landfilled or incinerated, thereby extending the lifespan of landfills and minimizing the environmental impact of waste disposal. It can be a more environment friendly alternative to traditional waste disposal methods. It helps lower methane emissions from landfills, a potent greenhouse gas, and can result in lower overall greenhouse gas emissions when compared to landfilling. It allows for the recovery of valuable resources, such as metals, from the waste stream.
Japan Waste-to-Energy Market Trends:
At present, the increasing need for waste reduction strategies, including WtE, to minimize landfill usage represents one of the key factors impelling the market growth in Japan. Additionally, the growing implementation of stringent environmental policies and regulations is encouraging the adoption of cleaner and more sustainable waste management practices. These policies often incentivize technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote energy recovery from waste. Besides this, the rising development of advanced WtE technologies, which are more efficient and environment-friendly, is supporting the market growth in the country. These technologies include improved incineration methods and advanced thermal processes like gasification and pyrolysis. Moreover, the increasing focus on renewable energy and reducing carbon emissions aligns with the adoption of WtE technologies as it contributes to the renewable energy mix and helps in achieving carbon neutrality goals. In addition, the growing employment of WtE in waste sorting and recycling technologies for efficient sorting and ensuring that only non-recyclable waste gets directed to WtE plants is positively influencing the market. They also help in optimizing energy recovery and reducing environmental impact. Furthermore, the rising shift towards a circular economy model, where waste is seen as a resource rather than just refuse, aligns with the principles of WtE. This approach emphasizes the recovery of energy from waste materials as part of a sustainable economic system. Apart from this, the increasing partnerships and collaborations with international companies and organizations in the WtE sector, resulting in expertise and technology transfer, and investment, further driving the growth of the market in the country. Looking forward, the market volume is projected to reach 81.3 TWh by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 3.42% during 2025-2033.
