Thailand waste management sector revenue (2020-2024)
~THB 85B (2024)
Thailand's waste management and recycling sector revenue reached approximately THB 85 billion in 2024 per Pollution Control Department and Department of Industrial Works estimates, up from roughly THB 60 billion in 2020. Growth has been driven by mandated industrial-waste manifest tracking, expanded municipal solid waste contract scope, and waste-to-energy capacity additions. The sector remains highly fragmented at the municipal solid waste collection layer, with consolidation occurring fastest in industrial and hazardous waste handling.
