India E-Waste Market and Vendors
Jun 8th, 2014 | By EHS Journal | Category: India, Popular Posts
Electronic waste (E-Waste) is generated from old, discarded or obsolete electronic products. E-Waste can be toxic in nature because it contains hazardous metals such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. In India as well as other developing countries, the majority of electronic products are not recycled, which poses a serious environmental and health risk.
E-Waste in India is primarily generated from large household appliances and the Information Technology and Telecommunications sectors. In the coming years, as technologies advance, the lifespan of products is expected to become shorter as businesses and consumers replace older electronic equipment with newer models. This trend will also increase the amount of E-Waste generated in the country.
In India, the E-Waste management and recycling market faces major challenges due to a lack of proper regulatory interface and a lack of supporting infrastructure to process E-Waste.
E-Waste Market in India
According to India E-Waste Management Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2019, a recently published report from TechSci Research, the country’s E-Waste market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 30.6% during 2014-19. The Southern and Western regions are the largest contributing regions in the country’s E-Waste market due to the presence of IT hubs such as Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad. However, the country’s Western and Northern regions are also growing at a significant rate due to introduction of new recycling facilities, especially in Delhi/NCR region.
According to Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director with TechSci Research,
The enforcement of E-Waste management laws by the government of India for proper and regularized management, disposal, and recycling of E-Waste is setting a new trend in the market. Since, in India, (the) majority of the E-Waste is processed by the unorganized sector, introduction of stringent regulations is expected to significantly benefit the organized players over the next five years.
